Poster for the 1987 movie "Matewan"

It's so weird that I can't stop thinking about the 1987 movie "Matewan" with James Earl Jones and David Strathairn about working-class people standing up against private corporations who employ death squads to rob them of their rights and dignity.

It's a mystery.

Why this movie?

painting by Tom Roberts of the Australian 'Heidelberg School' art movement – i.e. Australian Impressionism – titled, "The Breakaway!" it shows a dry, rural landscape across which a mob of sheep are stampeding toward a small dam of muddy water – a lone stockman on horseback is seen trying to stem the desperate tide of thirsty sheep

went to Adelaide recently and saw Tom Robert’s “The Breakaway!” IRL – this work is regularly featured in Australian art history books, so i was familiar with it – it did not disappoint

btw – it inspired an early scene in our script *Red in Tooth & Claw*

imagine if publishers pulled this kind of shit back in the heyday of literary and pulp magazines – there would've been fewer writers because it was already hard to make living when they retained their copyright – and most of the stories that were written would never have survived to the present day

*Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid* – an excerpt of the script was reproduced in an English text book, and i thought, "hmm, this looks easy" ... 😬 we all make mistakes
