MAN MOVIE MONTH

THE GOOD THE BAD THE WEIRD: AWESOME IN KOREAN, AWESOME IN JAPANESE, AND AWESOME IN CHINESE

The Good The Bad The Weird is a well made Multi Lingual Sergio Leone knockoff. I'm sure there was more borrowed from elsewhere and other movies, but this one is as entertaining as any movie I've seen. Violence is not too grisly, there is a good story line, and there are twists and plot shakes you can drink up.

Train robberies, treasure hunts, "ghost" markets, bounty hunting, all kinds of awesome

What kinds of manliness can we learn from this awesome movie?

1. Be a multi-linguist. Learn another language. If you can only communicate with your own people then good luck elsewhere.

2. Don't be such a perfectionist. You will continue to be upset that you are not the best and you will die upset. Learn to cope.

3. Stay away from hot chicks with drugs, unless you are cunning, smart, and good at getting yourself out of sticky situations

 

(last)NIGHT:ANGEL HEART

TONIGHT: NORTH BY NORTHWEST

CONVOY: BEAUTIFUL SOCIALIST SIGHT

Everyone knows the song because Homer sang it when he got Bart the superstar microphone

Well, if you like car/semi chases, greasy diner fights, cars jumping over barns or semis crusing through the southwest american desert then this movie doesn't dissapoint. It's slightly western and there is a helping of all-for-1.

THE GOOD, THE BAD, AND THE UGLY: AWESOME AWESOME AND REALLY AWESOME

While my wife (www.brittanypowell.com) is out of town at an artist residency (www.calderaarts.org) , I'm watching a manly movie every night.

Last night's movie was definitely something awesome.

You better like westerns because they are the best movie medium. Good guys, bad guys, and ugly guys with revolvers, wide brim hats, horses, tobacco products and stunt men.

The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly crosses a couple boundaries and is all together a pretty awesome movie. Blondie (Eastwood) and Tuco have a pretty good hustle going for a while until someone "double crosses*" the other guy. Angel Eyes sees what's going on and tries to stay out of it. Tit-for-tat, Blondie and Tuco learn of a stash of loot after beating each other up, except each holds one half of the location. Laughs are had, bad guys are shot, some awesome lines are said. Blondie and Tuco really have some pretty good stage presence and can really tell some good serious jokes.

*I wouldn't exactly call it double cross.

 

someone explain to me why this image is upside down?

 

What manliness can be learned by watching this movie?

1. When you deal with fugitives, expect the obvious

2.Breast your cards, hold your information til the very end

3. Attention to detail

4.Leave an empty noose
