Finally some movement!

http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Showrunner :-). Still little fuzzy on the details. Like a venn diagram, lot of overlapping.

Hey! Did you see in the new trailer that John Wick has killed three men with a pencil? Does that sound [exactly] like something John Rain would / could do? Coincidence? I think not. LOVE!

If someone could fix that, it would be great. Thanks in advance. I don't know why it doesn't work for me.

Anyway, I guess for some reason I expected better from Indiewire - maybe it's this "writer" (Liz Shannon Miller) "How does Keanu smell?"
What the FUCK?
(and yes, he smells really good, if I recall correctly from 1997, but that may not be the point here?)

And this little gem "Do you think the show will end up somewhere you can drop the occasional F-bomb, or all the F-bombs?"

I've got a pretty extensive vocabulary, and at least once a chapter in Barry Eisler's books, I come acrosss a brand-new word for me. He's an elegant, highly articulate writer. Besides, Deadwood covered the "we can say c***s****r every other word and be clever" AND IT WAS. Over. Done. No longer cool or clever. Tiresome. Limited. Unskillful in the extreme.
If you haven't read any of the Rain books, you really should, because they're wonderful.

I really, really hope that Keanu will be in a position to say "no, we're not going to use an F-bomb every two minutes."

See the Formatting examples just above the Add Reply box.

just personal opinion, of course.

I don't mind the odd F-bomb, to be sure, but neither do I mind sex scenes. Nope. Not at all.

Rain on Cinemax! Hooray. Adult enough to give depth. Last place it belonged was US network TV. Premium cable gives more free-reign.

That's a great interview via collider [they usually are] but his nervousness was palpable.

It's going to be on Cinemax. Expect both the f-bombs and the Bond-girl thing Rain has. Isn't there a different girl in every book, Luca?
I can't remember and it's been a while since we discussed it.

KR is a swearer...expect the f-bombs to stay. I f*cking do. ;)

There's a whole lot more to the Rain books than profanity and chicks. I recommend reading them. Barry Eisler is a bright and interesting author.

Yeah, one of the things I've found really interesting in Keanu's work of more than 20 years is how frequently he picks projects based on how many F-bombs he'll get to drop and how many Bond girls with whom he can have a liason. Oh wait...

I do plan on reading them. Remember text lacks tone, I did not imply that was all there was to the books, you projected it onto me. Damn, do we have to go and duel? Medieval style? En-garde :D
