Mike Honcho 4,089 Posted August 3, 2020 Overcast weekend and Brewers series cancelled, so that was the suck. On the bright side, the Brewers didn't lose any games this weekend, so there is that! On this day in 1992 "Unforgiven" directed by Clint Eastwood and starring Clint Eastwood, Gene Hackman and Morgan Freeman premieres in Los Angeles (Academy Awards Best Picture 1993) Everyone stay healthy and have a good week.

Cruzer 1,993 Posted August 4, 2020 GM. Not so sure Gene Hackman isn't my favorite modern day actor of all time - just great in everything.... And yes, Unforgiven was bad ass. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Only westerns I like is Young Guns For a Young Guns guy, I would recommend Silverado, 3:10 to Yuma, both are heavy on the action, not much on the moralizing. The Quick and The Dead is fun, technically a western, but mostly it's 90 minutes of Sam Raimi just wrapping a thin story around all the different ways he can come up with to have crazy visually insane gunfights.

TimmySmith 2,782 Posted August 4, 2020 I have probably seen Unforgiven at least 50 times. Everyone in it is the antagonist. Or maybe they are all the protagonist. Up for debate. Just brilliant. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks Mike. Unforgiven is probably my second favorite western; a close second to Josey Wales. Brilliant movie, and I love @TimmySmith's take on it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cruzer 1,993 Posted August 4, 2020 I loved Unforgiven, Tombstone, etc.. But there's The Good, the Bad and the Ugly - and everyone else. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
