Anyone seen In the Electric Mist?

I watched one scene with John Goodman hamming it up as a college professor. It was about as bad/cliched a performance as I could have inagined. I promptly turned it off.

I watched it, also read the book.

I feel it would have benefited from a series of movies instead of a single one.

I don't remember any explanation in the movie about the little girl.

The book was better, but I guess it is easier to hide the cliches in writing. The whole series is that way.

First book he is a drunk detective in New Orleans living on a house boat.

Yeah it’s a shame. That’s probably my favorite James Lee Burke novel.

filmed in my hometown of New Iberia...some scenes literally yards away from my former dental office. there are first hand accounts of TLJ being a total a-hole to the locals when he dined at area restaurants.
