came on twelve thirty last nite on movies! lowzee! pre-civil war kansas and cam bleeker (fess parker) breaks out of jail because he can't believe his wife is dead. so here's a guy himself with a history of vigilante -ism so the governor tells him his wife was destroyed by one Luke D'arcy who plans to build an empire town by town. D'arcy is a 2nd or 3rd rate captain Quantrill who has his redlegs pillage and loot towns and then he rides in afterwards to become their savior. this is a great guy. so eventually bleeker tells D'arcy why he joined his raiders and D'arcy admits everything and lectures Bleeker that he should blame his wife for being a weak human being rather than him for being a suave womanizer. cam's heart begins to melt and he starts to admire D'arcy. that's when the film becomes a crock. so D'arcy gets a flesh wound in the shoulder and here's his new best buddy kneeling over and tending Luke's wound and you wonder when they're gonna set a date.
the whole thing falls apart for cam when D'arcy's redlegs run over Nicole Maurey's little girl and then Bleeker decides he's gotta finish D'arcy for good. but it doan matter because by then the whole movie is an absolute crock. bleeker knows D'arcy's MO of trashing towns before he rides in to save them but the guy still decides to ride with him? D'arcy telling bleeker he reminded him of his younger brother who got hanged really won over ole cam.
The Jayhawkers is a crock and fess parker ain't no Alan Ladd. we also get to hear this piece of jerome moross music that becomes the theme to Wagon Train.
parker outgrows davy crockett, does this pos movie and then slouches back to the revolutionary war with Daniel Boone. whatta waste because ole fess woulda made good jed clampett.

because tcm sucks because they never really cared about their viewers wants and desires.

last nite I encountered censorship. I decided to watch National lampoon's vacation on demand and it was too unacceptably edited for me. when clark gets out of his wagon queen family truckster and enquires of a local businessman with two babes on each side where he might get back on the expressway the guy says "bleep your mama!"
so I discontinued watching.

You should have heard the Oakland "Ayyys!"
and he always would call out the name of his favorite eatery with the colslaw he loved....
"Kol Shack!"

Well, "dutiful" instead of cheerful, perhaps. And yeah, I forgot about Big Sam, who went off to dig for the army and never really came back, I guess, other than to save Scarlet's life at a most apropos moment.
I woulda told Selznick to late the shanty rabble have her.

I woulda liked to have seen sue-ellen rip the hair what outta scarlett's head.

Yeah, yeah, yeah...and an even WORSE crime was perpetrated about two decades EARLIER and when Jerome Moross' magnificent and stirring The Big Country score lost out to Dimitri Tiomkin's generic and forgettable score for The Old Man and the Sea!
(...so what's your little beef here again, dude?)
I never even noticed that music only spencer tracy getting blistered hands.

actually I am not a big fan of GWTW but it is very popular with women and some of those women are liberals.
so another brilliantly smart move by the left.
"now don't you deny it, mammy.
you really don't like me, do you?"

There are now two threads running on the exact same topic. Jakeem has made the exact same Elmer Fudd post in both of them.
he would.

just saw where HBO has dropped GWTW from it's streaming platform.
"now don't you go and try and spare my feelings.
you really don't like me, mammy."

I'm just saying that his ST-TMP score was so good the academy made a mistake that year giving it to georges delarue.
it is such an outstanding score it should be reprised by some great orchestra like the London symphony or city of prague philharmonic...and especially my favorite track Leaving Drydock.

Goldsmith had already won for "The Omen" three years earlier (and was there ever a spookier score?). I have no problems with the award to the great French composer Georges Delerue, known for his many collaborations with François Truffaut. Who couldn't love his score for "A Little Romance"?
yeah, he won for the omen and he shoulda won again for ST-TMP!
and I had both his omen scores on LP later CDs

not giving Jerry Goldsmith an Oscar for one of the most dynamic and majestic scores ever composed namely his music for Star Trek: The Motion Picture.

I was making a joke about jed clampett.
I always feel that jeff chandler is off kilter when he plays someone not completely good because ole jeff had hero quality in his performances.

get my filthy redlegs away from my town!!!"
