That’s “outside” and “wedlock.”
Did the original theatrical show them on the island full of zombies?
I remember the director’s cut had extra footage of that.
I see what you did there.
They weren’t interested in random opinions, except for reviews.
It was never a discussion board, but more like a Wikipedia for movies.
The man loved his guns.
Preppin’ for the day he could really use ‘em on folk.
He never really liked that security guard thing.
Never out of their holster.
Isn’t that the one where the tabby cat did it?
Conssidering that Scorsese has denied that the ending is Travis's fever dream, it would make sense that … ending is Travis's fever dream?
I see.
The web is full of those who prefer their private delusions to reality, as did Travis.
Sometimes a banana is just a banana.
Why are you yelling?
It has.
$1.85 in 1976 dollars would be $10.23 in 2024.
More actually, because today’s inflation gauge does not include all the consumer items it did back then.
Peter *Boyle*.
Do you have IMDb?
Google?
No edits, but to avoid an “X” rating for violence the color in the climactic shootout was toned down to a muted brown, making the blood less provocative.
I’ve wondered if Scorsese had ever thought of putting out an unrated edition with the original color since presumably this wasn’t his preference.
You also should take into account that he had just learned that his best friend — maybe inly friend — had died, a (late) casualty of the same war Rambo had fought in (“he died in Vietnam and didn’t even know it.”) Pretty tough to take that and have to Teasle’s illegal order to stay put of his town. Had he said something about that Teasle would likely have had to back off, but if we know one thing about John Rambo it’s that he ain’t a talker.
Not fair or even informed.
Movie shoots are almost always a stressful gauntlet: 16-hour days of doing the exact scene over again, even if it’s eating cold mashed potatoes for ice cream under hot lights. Nothing’s working, they’re losing the light, the meter is running at thousands per hour, a star is refusing to see it the director’s way, holding up everything. Here they had explosions — human and otherwise — and actors have to prepare physically to make themselves believe their life is in constant danger. It’s not glamorous and yes, takes a toll.
Take a listen to Sly Stallone’s brutally honest commentary on “First Blood” if you want to know how much fun that millionaire had freezing to death half-naked running around for weeks in the Canadian winter.
What are examples of “things” it succeeded in?
I had the same question about the movie.
That’s Downton Abbey, you illiterate.
>> Maybe some experienced card players can chime in.
One already did.
Let’s try and stick to the film rather than changing the subject to me, kay?
Your lack of any refutation of my points is noted.
Yep — I’ve watched those all, too and you’re right: all in India.
Not only do audiences prefer an American bad guy, in bad US offices, connected all the way up to a possible bad president, but it’s not okay now to have Indian bad guys when we might be snout to elect an Indian woman president.
Sorry, I meant Black.
