Re: Questions about Yellowstone
Other than Billy Bob Thornton (he's pretty good in it), if you can find something memorable or original in this show please feel free to let me know.

Re: Questions about Yellowstone
oh, i don't know, i would be curious how many people knew there was an area of Fort Worth known as Hells Half Acre that was famous for its lawlessness. I have read stories about it over the years, but I have never once seen it mentioned in any kind of movie or tv show until last night. Or the fact that the character played by Billy Bob Thornton was based on an actual sheriff in Fort Worth that was famous for being a really bad guy. again, never heard of him before this show.Reservoir Dog wrote: ↑Mon Dec 20, 2021 4:33 pmOther than Billy Bob Thornton (he's pretty good in it), if you can find something memorable or original in this show please feel free to let me know.
but, its a fictional tv show, so its not like fact checking an episode of Leave it to Beaver.

I'm not talking about fact-checking or historical accuracy, dude. I'm talking about the entertainment value of the show.Animal wrote: ↑Mon Dec 20, 2021 4:55 pmoh, i don't know, i would be curious how many people knew there was an area of Fort Worth known as Hells Half Acre that was famous for its lawlessness.

Other than Billy Bob Thornton (who single-handedly saves the second episode) there's not much to be seen here.
Well, maybe there's this guy. He's a good character and a bit of a hoot.

Re: Questions about Yellowstone
Like I said above, it"s impossible for anyone to say just from watching E1 whether the series is going to be good. I'm assuming you would agree the same can be said from just watching E2.Reservoir Dog wrote: ↑Mon Dec 20, 2021 4:33 pmOther than Billy Bob Thornton (he's pretty good in it), if you can find something memorable or original in this show please feel free to let me know.

Re: Questions about Yellowstone
Episode #3
Better than the first 2. Mostly because 90% of the episode focuses on Sam Elliott. But still waiting for something interesting to happen.
I'll give it one more episode.

Be sure to let Taylor Sheridan know of your decision. I'm sure he's waiting with tingling anticipationReservoir Dog wrote: ↑Mon Dec 27, 2021 9:36 pm Episode #3

I did get ep 2 recorded. Looks like only the first 3 will be on the streaming platforms.nerd_alert wrote: ↑Mon Dec 20, 2021 5:54 amI have a subscription to Philo and it looks like ep 2 is scheduled to record next week. Will let you know if it happens.
I started watching Britannia (semi accurate historical drama of the Roman conquest of England in the 1st century) on Prime. I was surprised to see Beth in it. Even more surprised to see that according to IMDB, she is actually a British actress!

Re: Questions about Yellowstone
fyi, if you have Amazon Prime, you can add 2 months of Paramont+ for $0.99/month right now. That should cover 1883. There are other channels available like Acorn, Showtime, etc. Enjoy

Re: Questions about Yellowstone
Okay, I gave 1883 five episodes but I'm not seeing anything here that makes me want to watch the sixth. I'm bailing.
That said, I will give them kudos for one thing.
Whenever you see a running gunfight on horses in a western the two groups are always 50-75 yards apart and they're shooting at each other with revolvers... on running horses. It's ridiculous.
But the running gunfight on horses in EP 5 is up close and personal with everyone shooting at each other from 15-20 feet away. And they're still missing 90% of the time. It's much more realistic.
But even that gunfight suffers from the two classic Western blunders...
"Endless ammunition syndrome" and "They shoot at each other 50 times but no one ever hits a horse syndrome".

i'm not sure that RD understands the difficulty of asking a horse to pretend they were shot in a pretend gunfight. good horse actors are not easy to find.rule34 wrote: ↑Tue Jan 18, 2022 11:20 pmIt would be different if alec baldwin was involved.Reservoir Dog wrote: ↑Tue Jan 18, 2022 5:20 pm Okay, I gave 1883 five episodes but I'm not seeing anything here that makes me want to watch the sixth.

Yeah, there's no way you could get a trained stunt horse to fall over.

Re: Questions about Yellowstone
I wonder how they train a rattlesnake to spring out of an opened cooler and bites the guy on his face so he dies in less than a minute. You know, this being all real and stuff.

Re: Questions about Yellowstone
I'm sorry but you're going to have to refresh my memory as to when a rattlesnake sprung out of a cooler in 1883. I must have missed that scene.CentralTexasCrude wrote: ↑Tue Jan 18, 2022 11:42 pm I wonder how they train a rattlesnake to spring out of an opened cooler and bites the guy on his face so he dies in less than a minute.
