Resurrecting the Movies thread...
shortfiction:
The Missouri Breaks is by far the most unconventional, unpredictable "Western" I have ever seen. Just watched it today, via Netflix delivery. And hey, it's got Nicholson and Brando and Harry Dean Stanton!

Anybody have a report on 3:30 to Yuma? It's on at my local theater this weekend, and I've seen a couple of decent reviews. Shoot 'Em Up is there, too, but I haven't seen a thing about that -- except an interview with Clive Owen on TV yesterday. It's not my usual type of movie, I don't think, but you never know. So if anybody has recommendations on either of these, yay or nay, I'm all ears.
Meryl:
I saw a good review of 3:10 to Yuma on CBS Sunday Morning. I'm looking forward to it, especially because I like Russell Crowe. Looks like a good old-fashioned Western with some very good performances.

I'm gonna see that one tomorrow. Russell Crowe is one of those guys I like as an actor, but not so much as a person. That's OK - I'm never gonna meet him, most likely, let alone marry him. ;)

Me too. It takes a lot for me to dislike a talented actor onscreen, regardless of his offscreen persona. For example, I like Tom Cruise onscreen -- and he's not even all that talented! :laugh: I like John Travolta, too.
Exceptions include Mel Gibson -- I'll never feel the same way about him again. Tony Curtis, Ernest Borgnine and that guy from Grey's Anatomy are also off my list (not that they were really on it in the first place). I have a hard time watching Michael Richards on Seinfeld now. And Sarah Jessica Parker is on thin ice, though I've always found her kind of annoying anyway.
I just read on another thread about Jerry Lewis using the F-word (not the four-letter one) in the Telethon, so my opinion of him has dropped, but it couldn't get much lower in the first place.
