Wash was never a superstar but he had a solid playing career and he obviously paid attention. Made him a good leader.
It's true. All the characters seem like they'd be fun to shoot the breeze with. The scenes with the old scouts are also great.
Billy: You guys sit around talking the same old good body nonsense like we're selling jeans. Like we're looking for Fabio.
Old Scout 1: Who's Fabio?
Old Scout 2: He's a...shortstop. Shortstop from Seattle.
Always glad to pass along good film recommendations. Hope you enjoy. It's a tough watch, but meaningful.
Mike was type of person "Simon" knew he could cast a spell over. Still get the shivers when Simon says...I live in the weak and the wounded.
Haunting film.
Yes. "End of Watch" was an excellent film about honest cops.
Good point. For the really famous silent actresses (Pickford, Bow, Gish), their fame actually worked against them with the coming of sound because, as you rightly point out, so many moviegoers had already imagined what their voices should sound like. Conversely, some lesser-known silent actresses like Jean Arthur went on to have bright careers in talkies because audiences didn't have any preconceived notions about them.
I wonder if that by that point she was just tired of the movie business. She was wealthy enough that she didn't need to work anymore. And her voice sounded perfectly fine in "Coquette."
Think the same thing happened to Clara Bow. It was said the industry decided to ignore her, but her biographies suggest she was happy to retire and become a rancher. Her voice sounded perfectly fine in "Call Her Savage" and she was still a very beautiful woman.
I thought the exact same thing. And since I saw it on opening weekend it was nearly sold out so we wound up sitting in the second row which made it even softer-looking. Nevertheless, the story itself was so fantastic that it made up for the bad seats and everything else. It was the first time I'd ever seen "fast" zombies and was immediately a fan.
Also started her own studio (United Artists) with Douglas Fairbanks, Charlie Chaplin and D.W. Griffith. Smart lady.
Yes, indeed. I am grateful that at least Little House is still available on DVD for future generations.
Ha! That's Judd to a T!
Wholeheartedly agree. The writers and producers did a wonderful job with the realness of Walnut Grove. You could almost taste the candy in Oleson's Mercantile! And I remember being nervous everytime Doc Baker showed up because it meant someone might be in danger. There was a British show called "All Creatures Great and Small" that was set in Yorkshire and had a similar feeling. Genuinely miss shows like these. Wish we had some like them today. Heavens knows it's nice to spend time in a world where most people strive to be be kind to one another.
I've been wanting to explore Neil Breen's ouevre for a while now. Thank you for the post!
Please add any of your favorites to our ever-growing list!

So many credits and I've only seen him in Gladiator--exceptional performance in that one.
You should see the Colosseum, Spaniard. Fifty-thousand Romans...watching every movement of your sword...willing you to make that killer blow. The silence before you strike and the noise afterwards. It rises. It rises up...like a storm. As if you were the thunder god himself.
It's true that most of the Kim family's problems were of their own making. They were a devious bunch for sure.
I assure you...it is not.
Hope you poured out a 40 for Neck Bone.
The world of wonderfully bad movies is as large as the Amazon rain forest...but it's not for the faint of heart.
I see your Strike Commando and raise you a Dinner With An Assassin! (2005)
