Talk:Chester Himes

message: Chester Himes is a very good writer. This site can take much more expansion. The expansion beginning Apr 28 was done anonymously because I have some computer cookie issues.McDogm --152.163.100.9 06:36, 30 Apr 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, no, I haven't heard of FOCH, but I did major in Film Studies, and have read a lot of Dashiell Hammett and watched a lot of Hitchcock and Bochco and the like. It is pretty obvious to me that Himes really brought the crime drama to a modern level of seriousness, and in fact I believe the sentence "Modern crime films and television (such as Bochco, Eastwood, even Boys n the Hood) would not be possible without the pioneering work of Chester Himes." I don't even think that Banacek, Hawaii Five-O or Columbo would be around if it weren't for him. But, I am not a scholar and any such statement from me would be "original research" and more or less inadmissible in an article. However great Dennis Franz may be in NYPD Blue, he owes a lot to Himes. --McTrixie/Mr Accountable 17:40, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
