The above mention of John Wayne reminded me of one of my favorite Wayne movies, Hondo. Evidently it was from an early story by Louis L'Amour. He helped with the screenplay and then went on to write the book, Hondo, which fellows the movie almost exactly and contains all that great Wayne dialogue.
“You baked this morning.” His voice was matter of fact. “I can smell fresh bread on you. Sometime today you cooked salt pork. I can smell that on you. And I can smell soap all over you. You took a bath. On top of that, you smell all over like a woman. A woman’s got a different smell from a man. Not salty and sharp, but kinda soft and rich and warm. I could find you in the dark, Mrs. Lowe, and I’m only part Indian.” |

Has anyone seen The Sisters Brothers (an adaptation of the book of the same name)? I'm wondering if it's worth renting from Amazon Video. I was a big fan of the book and had no idea whatsoever they'd made it into a movie.
I'm not really interested in whether or not they were "true to the book" (other than it being a quirky western). So regardless of whether you've read it or not, your opinions on the film would be welcomed. The rating on Amazon Video is fairly "meh," but that's pretty meaningless when it comes to things I tend to like. Last edited by DiapDealer; 02-21-2019 at 11:29 AM. |

Has anyone seen They Shall Not Grow Old, the Great War documentary released last year? It was only shown on a few dates in December and January and I could never make it; now that it's in wider release it's no place especially close, although I can make the effort if I must. I'm something of a Great War buff and I want to see it no matter what, but I wondered if anyone here had seen it? |
