movie reco

[monet]

Thanks for the reco Monet. I haven't seen this one and look forward to watching it.

Pretty good quote at the start of the movie when he is letting everyone inspect the cards and he shuffles them up.
He says, I don't know you and you don't know me so let's start out with a nickel game.
One of the players quips... Let's make it a dime!
Those miners were itchin' for Action!!

Rock solid movie. He proved he could shoot at the end after playing possum. I guess by the beginning of the 1900's smoking opium was considered somewhat of a stigma. Those women were bought like slaves ($300 IIRC) to seed the new brothel in that mining town - so much for the civil war. Thanks again.

No worries.
Notice how all the "gunplay" (lol kewlj joke, had to do it) was messy and bushwhacking.
None of this, "meet you in the middle of the street at high noon" bullshit.
Even the hardnosed kid, used deceit and a trick, to kill the kid, who just wanted to buy some socks.
I guess the preacher really hated that sinner lol.
The "Evil Doer" basically owned the entire town and every miner.
I wonder if he was playing "possum" the entire time?
It seemed like he may have not wanted to "expose his hand" to anyone in town or any of those professionals.
I'm unsure about that, maybe he never did kill anyone, but you got to figure back then, you better learn how to shoot if you wanted to survive.
I like how realistic the ending and movie is.
Corporations are basically doing the exact same thing today, to get whatever they want.
Even though he wins, he loses and we all "get it" in the end.
And if you don't die early, you escape through drugs or some other alternative like video games and movies
