Thinking about doing a letterboxd project based on this premise. When I heard that Steve Austin won a race again I joked that he’s wrestling’s Paul Newman, and it got me to thinking a little about his career particularly in the 60’s when his interest in racing took hold amidst some major personal issues.
The Criterion Collection is putting out a new edition of HUD this July and I figure a good place to start would be blind-buying this (as well as rewatching the HBO documentary from a few years back about Paul and Joanne Woodward The Last Movie Stars). I figure the movie he had the charm turned off the most would be a good start to compare his career to the other Texas rattle snake.
