As some of you frustrated readers know, I’ve never understood the appeal of Twitter, so while I do use it to inform people of new posts here and link the occasional interesting article, I don’t check the @worldofparker account regularly.

It’s a big week for Stark/Westlake fans. Most of you already know that the first volume in Darwyn Cooke’s Parker comic adaptations, The Hunter, is out. I don’t have time for a full review roundup at the moment, but the critics are ecstatic. Entertainment Weekly, for example, calls it “joltingly […]

The director extrapolated a detective plot from a Donald Westlake novel […] The L.A. Times has a review of Made in U.S.A., (based on The Jugger). Critic Kevin Thomas likes it: Elliptical in the extreme and loaded with cinematic and political references, the film is nevertheless compelling because of Anna Karina’s radiant presence and Godard’s stunning images, dry wit, political fervor […] The L.A. Times, which seems to publish more on Stark and Westlake than all other papers combined, has a piece from Andy Klein today on the re-release of Jean-Luc Godard’s Made in U.S.A. (based on The Jugger). It’s good reading for those of you interested in the many strange ways that Stark’s […] It was recently announced that there would be American theatrical showings of Jean-Luc Godard’s 1966 film, Made in U.S.A. (based on The Jugger). A company called Rialto Media has just posted the trailer to YouTube. If they went through the trouble to do that, I think it’s a safe bet we […]
