besides the border trilogy, i think it's the best thing written in the last 30 years. obviously some will not agree though...

man, outer dark will flatten you. incredible.
most underrated of his works i reckon...best read while listening to the soundtrack to dead man. or assasination of jesse james.

i think that The Assassination of Jesse James is a totally underrated movie. Acting, Narration, soundtrack, cinematography... all these things are perfectly executed. one of the few movies i could watch over and over again. its an actual work of art in my eyes.

agreed. it's a masterwork. big pronouncement given it's only 3 years after it's been released but it's a masterwork.
