Previous post ..... Think it was actually the Lincoln county war ... not Johnson for Chisum ...  See what exhaustion does for you??

Michelle please be your wonderful self, and set the record straight with facts!!    8)



The Johnson Co. War was in Wyoming...the subject of the very hyped and poorly received movie.... "Heavens Gate"

The Lincoln Co. Wars were in New Mexico...famous for the participation of Billy the Kidd and Pat Garrett.
John Chisum was a real life businessman/cattle baron who was an unwilling participant in the Lincoln Co. Wars.  John Wayne played Chisum in the 1970 movie "Chisum"...which took a lot of liberties with Chisum's actual life.  Chisum joined forces with John Tunstill (mentor of Billy the Kid) and Alex McSween against James Dolan in the Lincoln Co. Wars.  Tunstill was killed by Dolan's followers which set off Billy the Kid on a life of crime, rumor has it.  The Governor of New Mexico at that time, Lew Wallace, helped stop the Lincoln Co. War by giving all participants amnesty.

Ironically, Lew Wallace was the ultimate author of the book "Ben Hur: A Tale of the Christ"  We all know where that went I think (remember Chareton Heston?)

Also ironically...Kristofferson was in one movie version of Billy the Kid ("Pat Garrett and Billy the Kidd")...and as I mentioned earlier...."Heaven's Gate".....both busts at the box office.

Not sure if Kristofferson ever had a commercial movie or one that was received any way well by the critics

He actually won a Golden Globe for A Star Is Born. But his main strength was as a songwriter. He was also a Rhodes Scholar, an Army chopper pilot and a hard drinker. Not necessarily in that order ...  :)

//Braveheart

I think he drove a clown car too....

and he sucked in "A Star is Born"......he could write songs though...and he wasn't bad in "Heaven's Gate"...just the movie was

I dunno if you guys have a Fathom Events movie theater in your area, but RiffTrax, the guys who used to work on Mystery Science Theater 3000, are going to be doing a live riffing of Syfy's dorky masterpiece Sharknado next Thursday and then the following Tuesday.

If you've never been to a live riffing, they are abso-fucking-lutely spectacular.

OK details Ohhhh Purple mistress of knowledge and guidance...  I happened to see something advertising Sharknado at local theater. Figured somehow GASppppp a sequal .... had been committed.
Was hoping they did not have the desperation to bring that to the big screen .... 
Is it going to be like a mystery science showing..... You have the commentary going, while movie plays??

More info please .... Because the shrapnel driven by hundred mile per hour winds, inside the tornado must not harm them.
Pithy commentary MAY be what is needed to do them in .... LOL   :D

MICHELLE YOU ROCK!!  Thanks... thinks hectic right now.. barely time to get online. HUggggg THANKS for being the fountain of trivia and knowledge.

Yeah still find it surprising the governor was writer of Ben hur..   Until recently, had always figured it was much older than that, when written.
Ending up being one great performance, by Charlton Heston!!

TOMBSTONE ... kind of neat finding little tidbits now and then.  Robert Mitchum narrated .. Yet kind of cool. NEVER caught until watching again last night.
Robert's son Christopher... veteran of several John Wayne westerns...  Was the ranch hand.. standing beside Charlton Heston. When they needed to leave Doc Holiday behind.

OH and not to forget..... YOUNG GUNS ... with it's ensemble cast ... also done. With some of the same characters, and events from the Lincoln county war...

OK .. ANYONE seen Malificent yet ??  Feedback ..... please.. Hoping to catch it this weekend maybe.

Movie quote.. VERY famous pair of actors.........  Can you guess the movie..

"You elected?"
"No but I got a very strong nomination." Said holding a bullet shot cigar.



ADD more clue with this line ... Said while driving a hearse.

Extra line ..

"Look at that man, so many scars on his face."
"The man for us, is the one that gave him those scars."

Storm

GOTTA try one more for this.. NO someone knows this ...
YET another famous name, and veteran of many movies....

"Nobody throws me my own gun, and says ride on."  "No one." Said dismounting, to pick up, and strap the gun belt back on.

Yeah, 'tis a live commentary track.

They watch the movie live in a movie theater, usually in Tennessee or Minnesota.  It's Mike Nelson, Kevin Murphy, and Bill Corbett.  Mike was always a writer on the old MST3K but took over as the main human protagonist once Joel Hodgson left the series.  Kevin has always been the voice of robot Tom Servo, as well as bunch of other voices, and Bill Corbett took over as Crow T. Robot's voice after Trace Beaulieu left. 

They run commentary on the movie while it plays, and the view shifts between the movie itself and the commentators on the stage in the theater where they're doing the show, because sometimes they do costume bits and stuff during slow bits.  They almost always have a short or two, and a few comedic bits in the intro.

I've been to the Riffings of Starship Troopers, Plan Nine from Outer Space, Jack the Giant-Killer (1962), Santa Claus Conquers the Martians ... and they've ALL been amazing.  This year they're also doing Godzilla (1998) and Anaconda.

Thanks for the reply ......  Sage wisdom from the purple vixen!!

BTW anyone know about this possible....... Happened to catch Captain America 2 final time, before it leaves theaters. Have a little 2 screener, in nearby small city.
They usually get it, few weeks before run finished, and maybe home video takes over.
Watched teaser, at end, quicksilver and scarlet witch intro....  YET as I was leaving.. heard someone say. There was one more scene yet to go.

Anyone know if this one had a double dip, of extra scenes during or after credits??

You didn't stay until the very end?  Silly man.

After the credits are over - the Quicksilver/Witch intro happens MID-credits - but after they're ENTIRELY over you see the Winter Soldier in civvy clothes going to the Captain America Smithsonian display and looking confused ...

... and then walking into the Bucky Barnes display.
