He was responsible for a lot of phenomenal work, and, even though he was predominantly a writer, his work transcended the medium. Justified is one of my favorite television shows, and 3:10 to Yuma and Jackie Brown are some of the most entertaining films I've seen.

Aww.........what a shame.

 

[SnakeDoctor]

Yeah. Heard that today. One of the greats. Hell of a writer ... particularly dialogue. Up there with Tarantino, David Mamet, and Cormac McCarthy. Justified may be the best written show I've seen.

Shame.

Very sad indeed, a great writer with a lot of amazing work under his belt.

He was a great talent. Don't forget Get Shorty

It's in there. Those were just some of my favorites that I listed.

 

[bigbrocha]

I'm sure they will dedicate the season premier of Justified to him, very sad.

 

[Niltusk]

Crappy. Great career though.

This is something I've meant to watch for years and have never seen. I gotta start writing down stuff I need to see.

Let’s take a moment to appreciate Leonard's brilliant writing ... via the best TV prayer this side of Duck Dynasty ...

Dear Lord, before we eat this meal we ask forgiveness for our sins ... especially Boyd, who blew up a black church with a rocket launcher, and afterwards he shot his associate Jared Hale in the back of the head out on Tate’s Creek bridge. Let the image of Jared’s brain matter on that windshield not dampen our appetites, but may the knowledge of Boyd’s past sins help guide these men.

May this food provide them with all the nourishment they need. But, if it does not, may they find comfort in knowing that the United States Marshal Service is offering fifty-thousand dollars to any individual providing information that will put Boyd back in prison. Cash or check, we can make it out to them. Or to Jesus. Whoever they want.

In your name, we pray. Amen.

-- Raylan Givens, Justified

Brilliant.
