James Ellroy's "American Tabloid"/"Cold 6000" Spoiler Thread

Just wrapped up “The Cold 6000”, part two of James Ellroy’s fictional trilogy of the underworld and it’s involvement in the American politics from the mod 50s to Watergate. I was just curious of there were any other fans of the books out there.

On to possible plot spoilers, and MPSIMS about these books:

-I absolutely love Peter Bondurant. He’s a cold blooded son of a bitch, but by the end of 6000 Ellroy has you rooting for him!
-I enjoyed 6000 more than Tabloid.
-I hope they make a movie someday. My cast would be:

PETER BONDURANT: ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER
WARD LITTELL: GUY PEARCE
KEMPER BOYD: WILLEM DAFOE
WAYNE TEDROW JUNIOR: PHILLIP SEYMOUR HOFFMAN or BEN AFFLECK
BARB: COURTNEY LOVE
JANICE: JESSICA LANGE with a black hair dye job
WAYNE TEDROW SENIOR: The father from “Frasier”
CARLOS MARCELLO: GENE HACKMAN
JANE ARDEN: CHARLIZE THERON

HOOVER, JFK, RFK, DRAC: all off screen, I’d never show them

Sadly, I’ve never even heard of this. I’ll have to check it out. Is the timeline the present, looking back or back in that political era?
