Recruiting Forum Football Talk [RIP 9.3.2019]

[Bassmaster_Vol]

I don't get it but the RF isn't bad at all.
Scan through the TV shows threads sometime. It honestly seems to just tick some people off that others enjoy a show that they don't. One of the weirdest things I've seen.

It is weird. Same thing with music. Not sure why having a different taste in music or television means that someone is weird or dumb or whatever. It’s the height of arrogance to make our particular tastes the standard that everyone else should keep.














That being said, if you’re a gator or Bama fan, you’re a weirdo loser!

I don’t complain about it. Quite the contrary, I barely acknowledge it. Somehow I’m putting former Vols out on the street in the process.

Have to add Lonesome Dove to that list.

The first two can switch, depending on which one I'm watching at the time...

Unforgiven or Lonesome Done
The Outlaw Josey Wales
Tombstone
The Good, The Bad and The Ugly

Pale Rider, High Plains Drifter, and Hang Em High are up there, too; along with Open Range and The Assassination of Jesse James By The Coward Robert Ford.

I guess, just give me any western with Clint, really...hard to go wrong.

That's a pretty good list. But what about Once Upon a Time in the West?

 

[SweetasSoda]

I can't believe there is not any recruiting news at all. I'm going to have to learn how to be productive with my time if this keeps up.

 

[gainesvol82]

Django Unchained ftw. Not exactly a Western...more like a Southeastern but a fantastic movie.

 

[Takegame33]

That’s my son

Sounds horrible

 

[SugarCC]

Classic, as well, absolutely. Dang...so many great ones! Then you have some, like Jeremiah Johnson...does that classify as a western? If it does, it definitely has to be up there, too. Also, can't leave out Butch and Sundance.


Speaking of Butch and Sundance...although I love it, who else enjoyed The Sting way more...or, am I the only one? The Sting is one of my all-time favorite movies, period

 

[gainesvol82]

Also No Country For Old Men and A Million Ways To Die in West

 

[amavol2]

Jeremiah Johnson

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

I've always been a fan of Wyatt Earp as well as Tombstone. It is possible to like and enjoy both movies. Wyatt Earp would be more highly thought of if Tombstone wasn't released around the same time. I thought Costner's performance was great and Dennis Quaid's portrayal of Doc Holliday was right up there with Kilmer's. Maybe better.

No, on that I strongly disagree...Kilmers Doc Holliday is one of the all time great performances from any genre. Quaid did a spectacular job, I agree...but no.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Are you in the Witness Protection program?

Lol...I have lived in seven states. My Dad is a pastor that always moved where the spirit lead him. It is like being a army brat.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

No....I'm not.

 

[SweetasSoda]

Sounds horrible

I'm trying to avoid it!

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

She was a comely young woman and not without prospects. Therefore it was heartbreaking to her mother that she would enter into marriage with William Munny, a known thief and murderer, a man of notoriously vicious and intemperate disposition. When she died, it was not at his hands as her mother might have expected but of smallpox. That was 1878.

#4 on my list.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Some of the best Westerns......in no order

Tombstone
Red River
Rooster Cogburn
Unforgiven
Rio Bravo
The Wild Bunch
The Magnificent Seven

You gotta have both True Grit versions in there too. Plus OUTitW and Josey Wales.

It’s a sad reality indeed

All greats in my book! Funny, we had Unforgiven on Saturday night when some friends were over before the game. We got on the conversation of westerns; and I made the comment that the movies I watch regardless is Unforgiven, Lonesome Dove, ans dances with Wolves.
I just got home from work and flipped the TV on and am catching the last gunfight of Open Range! Lol

Speaking of Costner
What do y’all think of Dances with Wolves and did anyone watch Yellowstone last summer? Great show!

Finally an off topic conversation I can support. I got to say though, in thinking about, High Plain's Drifter is the best among many great films. The vision of that Red Town is seared into my memory.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

I'm gonna go ahead and play heretic and say that I liked the new True Grit better than the old one.

Then again, I'm a big Coen Bros. fan, but still....

Me too...because of the performaces are spectacular, and also because it actually looks like the area around Ft Smith Arkansas and the Indian Nations of Oklahoma. It bugs me that the Dukes True Grit looks like Arizona or Utah.

 

[SweetasSoda]

So....anyone want to talk about movies like The Notebook?

 

[peaygolf]

Yes.....no question
Most John Wayne Westerns are up there. When my grandfather passed away, he left me his collection of Wayne movies and memorabilia. All but 6 movies he was in and every tv show he appeared in
