John Sayles is a great director. I don't know Baby, it's You, but Lone Star, and I say this as someone who lived in a Texas/Mexican border town for many years, is a great movie.
So I get to thinking about Ken Kesey's great novel "Sometimes a Great Notion," one of the great novels of the American West, and while the movie starring Paul Newman is good, it's not out on DVD, it isn't worthy of the great novel. One the charactaristics of the novel that is so great is the sense of place that Kesey infuses the writing with. And I'm thinking..Nobody captures a sense of place like John Sayles. If anyone could pull off a remake of the novel into a movie worthy of the novel, it would be John Sayles.
Hey Mr. Sayles. If you are out there reading this.consider what a movie that could be!!!!!! -

for me, he's in same level with Jim Jarmusch and David Lynch.
