Yeah I've seen everything he ever did thats out there still to watch, which is pretty much everything apart from a few roles in American TV shows.  I seen every episode of Wanted Dead or Alive too, the western show he did for 8 seasons where he plays a bounty hunter.  8 seasons or 90 something episodes, though I've heard him say something like 115 or 120 of em, either way I've seen em all.  Even seem him in Man from the South, the Alfred Hitchcock Presents Episode.

I quite enjoyed Fences when i saw it.

yeah, Fences was good. Some of Denzel's stories reminded me of the same childhood my Grandpa went through with his dad. Times were so different, but a lot of families, no matter what race, went through a lot of the same things.

I watched this movie called Solace with Anthony Hopkins, Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Colin Farrell. It was excellent. I saw the preview on another dvd movie I bought and it looked very good. It's about a serial killer and Anthony is a psychic helping the FBI. Very good storyline and a few surprises too.

Some other movie on lifetime about a girl who grows up to get revenge on the woman who had an affair with her dad and ruined her life, so she sets out to ruin the woman's life and her whole family.

God, I don't know why I watch these stupid movies. Always the same plot and ending. lol

Yeah, I think those lifetime movies are addicting and we don't realize it. I've watched tons of them. I usually dvr them because sometimes they get too crazy at the end and I speed them up.

You can usually guess what is going to happen in everyone of these movies.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2

I like it a lot. Although, I felt like Rocket and Grout overshadowed the actual real actors. ha ha

I thought the storyline was cool. Loved seeing a very young Kurt Russell. Amazing the shit they can do with special effects.

I thought it was a good sequel.

Yeah, tonight's lifetime movie has Maurice Bernard (Sonny) of General Hospital, so I'm definitely watching this one. He said he had fun being a cop since he's a super bad ass crime boss on GH>

High Noon (1952)

Seen it a million times and I'll probably see it a million times more.  In fact it's just done and I wanna watch it all again from the beginning.  How this was ever considered to be a commie film I'll never know, to me it's like the quintessential American movie, though I'm sure Duke Wayne is looking down from heaven pissed off as fuck at that statement :lol:  It really is cinematic perfection, one of those films where not a single character, piece of dialogue, act or action is out of place, Gary Cooper, Grace Kelly are fucking perfect in their roles, the themes of it are so eternal, last day as sheriff, an old outlaw coming back to town and he rides out and halfway down the road he's like fuck this, i can't do this, 'they're making me run and I never run from anything in my life', perfect!

The amount of films this influenced too, High Plains Drifter with the cowardly town motif, Once Upon A Time in West with the guys waiting at the station in the beginning thing, Reservoir Dogs where the movie is, approximately at least, set in real time to heighten tension, Dirty Harry with the throwing of the badge at the end, even down to the Tex Ritter song with the lyrics tailored for the movie, its about the fuckin' movie really, just perfect in every way, an 11 out of 10 flawless, towering achievement of post war cinema, of cinema full stop, to my mind a pretty healthy shout along with Citizen Kane and The Godfather Part II and Birth of a Nation as the greatest movie ever made, 1952, thats nigh on 70 years ago now and it's as powerful today as it was the day it came out.  To me the golden age of cinema is 30s/40s/50s and this is one of the greatest that era ever threw out.  

And it'll live on forever to because the themes of it are eternal, right and wrong, valour, standing up when its time to stand up, overcoming fear in favour of doing whats right.  Yeah, thats a fuckin' western the way I love em.

Wind River - 5/5 Amazing film. If you don't go see this in theaters you're missing out. Cinematography, acting, story, soundtrack... everything was fantastic.

It - 1/5 So fucking bad!! I cannot believe anybody thought that shit was scary. :lol: The only good part was the child actors. The rest was awful.

Now that's a great overlooked one right there. I love that kinda off feeling the whole movie has. I need to watch this again it's been a long time.

And High Noon man, I'd agree with everything you said. It's kind of like the film that every other legend and stereotype was born from. Maybe the most influential western ever made. Wonder why Duke and Ford didn't like it so much?

Cuz it was written by Carl Foreman who got done during the Hollywood commie purges so they interpreted it as...yknow, an attack on the old west and the American way.  The idea of a frontier town being cowardly...and the way Coop' throws down the badge at the end of it.  The funny thing is the Duke did an interview where he talks through the objectionable aspects of it and half the stuff he mentions never happened in the movie, like he says the church is divided women on one side and men on the other with the women deriding the men, never happens...he also says Coop' steps on or steps over the badge, never happened.

Good little interview thanks. I absolutely love High Noon but just personally I put it behind The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance.

Actual cowboys did wear cowboy hats. I mean true cowboys. Butch and Sundance weren't cowboys. Outlaws and bank robbers? Yep. Cowboys, no. You know what hat was big with the cowboys? The big Mexican sombrero type hats. I'll give that everyone walking around in stetsons was more Hollywood, but true cowboys did wear them.

Sorry to break your fantasy but it is real cowboys. Bowler hats. the stetson is hollywood.

It is literally a picture of Butch Cassidy done up to the nines for a photo.  A stetson is a very specific kind of cowboy hat and it weren't broadly what was worn throughout the west, neither in westerns or in the Old West.

And when I say true cowboys, I'm talking Chisholm Trail, ranch hands, cattle herders. Cowboys.

And I'm pretty sure that pic was taken when Butch and them were on the run. They went in New York or Philly or somewhere. They were dressing like the locals and fitting in.
