"I can hear John Pavlich and Zarban yelling, 'Oh my God, please talk about the classic film you're watching!'" -Teague

Yeah, well, somebody has to keep you crazy kids in line! I swear, your show would be a complete mess without us!

This movie isn't broken because it's not a genre film. This is a drama—the conflict is internal and the heroes are their own worst enemies, hence no need to make the superposse into real characters. That's what makes it a genre-buster. The only problem is that the first act is a bit long and the second act is a bit repetitive, but the charm of the leads gets us over that for the most part.

1:01:00 Damn you, Trey. You just just explained that.

Howabout that?

I think there's a lot to be said for the grandfathered in thing. I watched this probably ten years ago and remember it didn't do much for me then, so I skipped rewatching it this time, went strait to you guys. The movie doesn't really start until 45 minutes inn and then kinda goes nowhere. It seems to hinge on everything but itself as a movie, the charm of the two leads, that you have an interest in the history or in the subversion of the western genre, as with Unforgiven which also didn't do much for me personally. The indian tracker is a cool element though, with his almost supernatural abilities.

Feels like a perfect incidental matiné on a lazy sunday kind of movie, except for the downer ending.

Speaking of native americans with supernatural abilities, The Missing, a movie I get the impression that one should not like, but I remember liking it quite a bit, maybe a candidate for some closer scrutiny? It's got Cate Blanchett in it, just sayin.

Road to Perdition is one of my favourites. I bought the soundtrack first after listening to it on a whim, and it is a phenomenal score with its gorgeous lyrical piano, brooding drones, motoric pizzicatos and hesitant strings. Subsequently I bought the movie, one of my first DVDs, maybe my first, together with Seven. A good start I would say, and together they probably cemented my love for commentary tracks.
