I did not see Toy Soldiers Monet, but we're in the same boat - I recognize that Jason Miller fucker in other movies, but never paid enough attention (reminds me of the situation with Leon from Blade Runner - Brion James;saw him in a lot of shit but never really looked more in depth)

I don't think I seen it either.
I may have as my father would watch something like that but I don't remember it.
I may have even caught That Championship Season with my pops but can't remember it as I was too young to understand the content.
I just watched a bit of a movie review of that movie After Dark, My Sweet.
I didn't watch much of it because I don't want to spoil any of it for me.
But Ebert started out talking about Hard Boiled Writer, James Myers Thompson.
What is very interesting about him is that he wrote 29 Pulp Crime Novels but was completely ignored in his day by the critics.
10 to 15 years after his death he became the hottest writer in Hollywood which is bitter sweet indeed.
I think that showcases how difficult writing truly is.
Or maybe he was unwilling to butcher up his work for money.
Stacey Keach refuses to go away in our conversations as he starred in The Killer Inside Me (1976) which was one of James Myers works.
Thompson wrote primarily about grifters, losers, sociopaths and psychopaths.
I can relate to the first 3.
It's thanks to him that we got The Grifters (1990).
He also wrote The Getaway (1972).

Starting at the 8 minute mark they break down a Clint Eastwood movie that I have on DVD and enjoy from time to time.
They talk about the Jason Patric movie around the 11 minute mark.
Even back in 1990 Siskel was complaining about how society was starting to become WOKE and less Macho.
