McMurtry dying in 2021 might have spurred it. I've noticed it "trending" as well. (I read it a couple years ago too.)

I've only seen Scarface, which is great of course -- so much of the rest seems boring or, um, racist.

He played the Darrow character in the original run of Inherit the Wind on Broadway!

I know journalism is a rapidly deteriorating industry, but it also feels like fighting a losing battle when folks on here are mostly sharing articles to dunk on them, rather than solid pieces from journos and critics out here trying our best every day to stay working and writing
