I have. I didn't mind it.

 

It's not the kind of Western that normally resonates with me. I'm more into the Westerns of Howard Hawks, John Ford, Sergio Leone, etc.

 

This one is more in the style of Cormac McCarthy and Sam Peckinpah. Movies/stories that kind of pride themselves on showing history "as it was".

 

And it's written by Nick Cave, so it has a sort of punk-rock edginess to it.

Today here we have summer weather, and we have to make the most of it because tomorrow it will get worse and in two days we will be back to winter.

 

Yes, weather is going crazy. 

 

Even so, we still miss Mr. Lynch.  We hope to hear from him soon!

good morning guys happy Friday. I'm not sure who keeps playing with the weather controls but every time it gets warm and I prepare to bbq the temps drop it gets cool again and I have to pull out fall clothing.

I somehow just saw this post, and I LOVE The Proposition.  I thought of it again last week.  Amazing performances across the board but especially Danny Huston, and holy hell it’s beautiful.  Not sure I’m aware of a movie that uses the Australian landscape as well, and there are some great contenders.

 

Also, I can never hear Danny Boy without thinking “the flies, the flies are crawling.”

Man I hope so.  It’s been too long.

One other note here:  this is the only work that makes me think Hillcoat can handle Blood Meridian, and I hope he can find this director in himself again.  
 

Caveat:  I haven’t seen The Road.  The book made me cry when I was childless.  As the father of a son these days, I haven’t gotten up the nerve to watch the movie.

Dear Psychos, I hope your Monday is not hard.

 

Today I have been thinking about the editions I would like to take, and I said to myself: I have to think about it calmly.

 

In another time I would have jumped into the pool without looking, and I would have bought almost all of them. 

 

Am I getting old?  

 

Have a nice day!

This made me laugh:

 

 

When informed that his film would not be chosen for the Criterion Collection, Pootie just shook his head and said “Sa da tay, my damie, sa da tay.”

🤠 back from a buddy trip and the wifey joined us, we went to the town of “the hick from French Lick”
