Is This Something?

Kevin Costner's two part (at least!) would-be epic western opens today:

Part one opens today, part two in August. And they're already filming part three in Utah. Costner intends to make it a four parter.

Assuming any of these make money.

Then again, he's largely funding this with his own Mad Stacks of money. Maybe he's willing to do part four even if the first three parts wind up losing him money.

Is it any good? This British reviewer says it is.


Good news! Remember the film everyone keeps begging Hollywood to make? The one that returns to old-fashioned values of layered storytelling and real-world spectacle? Created by a seasoned, impassioned artist rather than a soulless business model?
That goes out of its way to cater to the older audiences typically not that well-served outside of awards season? And in which voguish political agendas are nowhere to be found? That film? Well, someone has finally made it. And the industry is convinced it's going to flop.

Kevin Costner's uber-traditional western epic Horizon: An American Saga canters into cinemas this Friday, following a much-memed premiere last month at Cannes. (It received a seven-minute standing ovation, during which the stoic face of its director and star grew streaked with manly tears.) The film is its director-star's first foray behind the camera in 21 years -- and by all accounts, he was prompted by the success of the contemporary western streaming series Yellowstone, in which he starred until recently, and which in the United States draws more than 12 million regular viewers.

Unfortunately, though, that audience doesn't yet appear to have bought many tickets. According to the latest figures, Horizon is likely to take around $10 million at the US box office on its opening weekend: around a fifth of Bad Boys: Ride or Die's opening a few weeks ago, and two thirds of the gen-Z love triangle tennis drama Challengers. Here in Britain, where westerns are relatively niche, that suggests it is likely to open on the wrong side of the talismanic 1m [pounds] mark.

...

Studios are less willing than ever to underwrite big swings, as Costner found to his literal cost. He sunk $38 million of his own money into Horizon, and scared up the rest of its $100 million-plus budget from private investors. That means if it bombs, a lot of spreadsheety types will look back at Hollywood's recent creatively conservative swerve and think to themselves: phew, smart move.

Here's something: While the Indian characters are written with depth and humanity, the film does not resort to liberal virtue signalling about it:

...

Horizon's ambling pace and classical perspective were both sticking points at Cannes -- especially when an Apache raid on Frances's township is portrayed as a straightforwardly savage attack, without any of the anti-colonial karmic rib-prodding you might expect in 2024. The film's Native American characters are written and played with as much depth as its white ones, but its lack of overt moral signposting here did feel like an intentional bucking by Costner and his co-writer Jon Baird of current Hollywood mores.

These sorts of choices should intrigue us. But for a younger generation of critics and cinema-goers, who are used to having films' messages spelled out for them, and drawn from an approved list, they can be reason enough to write them off.

...

Hollywood take note. On the surface, Costner's film might be a misty-eyed throwback, but it's just the sort of thing that drives cinema forward.

I'm debating whether or not to see it. I like Costner's westerns. I am a big fan of Wyatt Earp, which is an epic about not just Earp and the OK Corral but of all the old west and its various heroes. I think people got hung up on the fact that Costner tried to play Earp as a sixteen year old, and yeah, he was way too old for that, but what are you going to do? He was telling Earp's life story, not just the bit about the Clantons and Cowboys, so he could either cast another actor who looked little like him, or play the young Earp himself.

Did everyone believe the actor with the completely different facial structure playing Clark Kent at 16 suddenly turned in Christopher Reeve playing Clark Kent at 21? No, no one did.

It's a movie. You need a little suspension of disbelief, yeah?

Open Range was good, too.

On the other hand, it's three hours long, and I don't mean part one is 90 minutes and part two is 90 minutes. I mean part one is 181 minutes long.

TJM just linked this: Mark Wahlberg in Flight Risk. Directed by Mel Gibson. I do like a plane thriller. Ooh, Mark Wahlberg is the villain. Plot twist. And he seems to be having a lot of fun with it.

Robert Zmeckis directed another special-effects-heavy drama, again with Tom Hanks. It uses de-aging technology to show the progress of time, with Tom Hanks going from Bosom Buddies age to Joe Biden age.

Eh. I mean, it's a cute gimmick, but what do I care?

How about this one? Is this something?

On one hand, Hugh Grant is really leaning in to what he calls the "Scoundrel Phase" of his career, and he's great at it. I like the girls, I like how they figure out they're in danger (he says there's a pie in the oven, but one girl notices all he's done is lit a blueberry pie scent candle). And the premise is interesting.

But can you trust Hollywood not to make a movie that winds up asking the question, "Sure, this guy is a vicious murderous psychopath, but who's the real lunatic here? The psychopathic killer, or the Christians who believe in God? Hmmm? Hmmmm?!"

I don't really trust it. I don't think that Huge Grant would sign up for a movie like that, but then, I also didn't think that my former favorite Doctor would become a mad proponent of child mutilation, and tell one of the only black women in Parliament to "shut up" because she's sounding notes of caution on experimental trans surgeries.

Here he is accepting an award from the (checks notes) "British LGBT" organization, for the (checks notes) "Best Ally" award.

More of pro-child-mutilation zealot David Tennant here.


WTF is wrong with Scotland? And Ireland? And the UK?

They've always been more leftwing and "progressive" than the US, and they've prided (pun intended) themselves on that. So now they see the US going absolutely insane, and they all think, "Wow, if we want to keep virtue signalling as sicker than the US, we've really got to up our game!"

On August 30, Reagan premieres. Dennis Quaid says he supports Trump so maybe this won't be a hatchet job.

Yeah, Open Range is fine, but everything else is way too long and way too uneventful for what actually happens.

He thinks he's John Ford. He's much closer to Michael Cimino.

The cognitive dissonance of this sort of thing is hilarious.

If a group of native born white Americans showed up at a "refugee" facility and brutally murdered a bunch of crimigrants I'm pretty sure the FNM would not cover it as a dry exercise in "anti-colonialism"

It's standard, and it's a stupid game people play about how beloved a film is.

"Oh, only a 5 minute standing ovation? They didn't like it very much."

"Oh, he got 11 minutes? When he was here 30 years ago, he got 15 minutes."

They do standing ovations for every film outside of things that just piss everyone off (like The Brown Bunny).

WTF is wrong with Scotland? And Ireland? And the UK?"

My feeling about Scotland and the UK is that they got used to being the center of a Great Empire, the center of the World, really, and suddenly it was all gone - all lost - and overnight they turned into Canada with Castles. Where did it all go? Psychologically, this was huge - they were on the winning side in the World Wars, how come it felt like they lost? So they have frantically searching for meaning and that old feeling of importance ever since, and since they all decided to ditch Christianity they bought into the new feel good religion of radical wokism and leftism. It's all going to collapse in tears and fire, but til then they can all feel virtuous and pride themselves on how Wonderful they all are.

Now all I will say about the Irish is that they've always been fucked in the head, the Scots and the English always knew that, and Oliver Cromwell dealt with them better than anyone since.

59 Tennant was viewed favorably as the doctor only because Eccleston was so bad at the role, and the show only survived due to goodwill from 40 years of episodes. Matt Smith was probably the closest doctor to what the original series tried to be, and had the best writing in decades.

After Smith left, the show was over. Nothing that came after even tried to follow the canon.

89 WTF is wrong with Scotland? And Ireland? And the UK?"

My feeling about Scotland and the UK is that they got used to being the center of a Great Empire, the center of the World, really, and suddenly it was all gone - all lost - and overnight they turned into Canada with Castles. Where did it all go? Psychologically, this was huge - they were on the winning side in the World Wars, how come it felt like they lost? So they have frantically searching for meaning and that old feeling of importance ever since, and since they all decided to ditch Christianity they bought into the new feel good religion of radical wokism and leftism. It's all going to collapse in tears and fire, but til then they can all feel virtuous and pride themselves on how Wonderful they all are.

Now all I will say about the Irish is that they've always been fucked in the head, the Scots and the English always knew that, and Oliver Cromwell dealt with them better than anyone since.

I was watching part of the post-game on CNN, and they were doing a "debunking" segment. And while Trump *may* have made some inaccurate claims, it's not like the lies that Biden told invoking long dead and debunked *slanders* about Trump.

he was only there a brief time

though in ep 2 of the first New Who season, they took a line from one of his scripts of an unmade series, which Douglas adams had already stolen for the Hitchhiker's Guide, Restaurant at the End of the Universe.

Rose: Will there be people here?
Doctor: Of course. Wait, when you say people, do you mean...?
Rose: I mean people. When *you* say people, what do *you* mean?
Doctor: Aliens.

the similar joke in Restaurant goes:
Arthur: The people... the *things*...
Ford: The things are also people.
Arthur: The people... the... *other* people...

That episode also involved an exclusive resort for watching the end of something. In Restaurant, they watched the actual end of the universe, in doctor who, they watched the end of the earth. Both involved the resort/restaurant being in a time bubble that was always at the moment of the death of the universe/the earth.

Ass-raped. He ass-raped a 13 year old. And he was a notorious pervert long before that. G-d only knows how many girls that malignant little goblin violated over the years.

It's a damn shame he was out of town when the Manson Family came around with their knives. It would have been nice if *something* good could have come out of all that.

175 Huh? You mean the great horse culture that only began when the Spanish brought horses to North America only a couple hundred years before? That horse culture?

Before the Spanish, there probably weren't any Injuns on the Great Plains. Were the tribes following the buffalo herds on foot? Yeah, no.

I hate Injun propaganda.

Posted by: Sharkman


I am constantly pointing this out to people. Indians east of the Mississippi were on foot. The Souix were in Minnesota. There were probably a few bands in the Rockies.

The Pueblo revolt in 1580 something is when it all changed, when the Pueblos got tired of being slave squires for the Spanish, killed them, and then sold the horses and taught the indians who would become the plains indians how to ride.

177 I've come to appreciate Year of Living Dangerously more and more over the years; not just because it's a great movie, but because it's the *only* film I know of that acknowledges one of the great tragedies of recent history, one that has been airbrushed out of our history completely - the great Indonesian Massacre, which is the backdrop of the film. It's believed that the Indonesian military executed between 300,000 to 500,000 civilians in a two week period, sparked by a very murky coup attempt. And it's widely believed that the CIA set the whole thing up, and gave a wink and a nod to the Indonesian Military carrying out the massacres.

Just for comparison - the world is whining about 30,000 civilians killed in Gaza in 6 months (and that number is way high). But everyone has agreed to forget about 500,000 civilians executed by machine gun squads in one two week period.

201 "I hate Injun propaganda."

"Dances With Wolves" is "Gone With the Wind" for the Indians: long on romance, and rather thin on fact. I did appreciate the attempt to use Lakota language in the film, and I liked the romance between the Costner character and Stands With a Fist. Also, I wish I could have seen it projected in 70mm, in which it was shot: the Alberta scenery would have been absolutely amazing.

Also, I must disagree with Mr Madison: "Beowulf" was Robert Zemeckis's worst movie, not "Pinocchio". Granted, this is splitting hairs: they're both dreadful.

There was a tweet early this morning that was very insightful as to what happened, from a big dem donor on Long Island, He wrote that Obama and Ron Klain were headed to a private meeting with Biden to discuss the continuted viability of his campaign; but the Jill Biden was already saying Hell No, he won't drop out, and Kamala was pitching a fit at the suggestion that she not be the automatic nominee if Biden does drop out.

About 4 hours later came Obama's announcement of support for Biden. It seems to me a good guess that since Joe is a vegetable, Jill is making all the decisions, and if Jill says he isn't dropping out, he isn't. Also, if they've got to run Kamala in the lead role since she won't drop out, then they might as well suck it up and run Joe, same chances. That's how I think it played out.

Yup, I remember being extremely impressed by young Pirkis’ performance in Rome - Season One, and was extremely disappointed when he was not Octavian in Season Two,

Season Two seemed so rushed, still great mostly, but rushed so they could fit the rest of the story in. I really wish they’d taken more time, kept Pirkis around and made three seasons.

It would have been ten times better if they had stretched the show out a few more years.
