Thumbs up on the house scenes
Thumbs down on the river scenes
I liked the spot they ended up in at the end. Makes a lot of sense how those people survived


I also liked the house scenes better, but I wouldn’t give the river scenes a thumbs down.

If you like apocalyptic-themed movies - try this one on Netflix: https://www.netflix.com/title/80080491


I actually had to read that book for some class in college years ago. Had no idea they made a movie out of it.

Can you really call cosmology school 'college'.

Pretty funny. I meant to write cosmetology
school, and I wrote cosmology. That's what
I get for doing three things at once.

Sad Hill Unearthed.
The Good , the Bad and the Ugly remains one of my all time favorite movies
Italian Director, American actors, Spanish extras
Its a masterpiece in my opinion.
The music itself is simply fabulous.
The rock band Metallica agrees and have been opening their shows with the cemetery scene and the soundtrack
This is a documentary about the fake cemetery Sergio Leone had built for the film by the Spanish Army
The locals rebuild the cemetery for the films 50th anniversary.
Its pretty good and gives a lot of backstory about filming this movie.

Ennio Morricone is still alive and just turned age 90.

His score to The Good, the Bad and the Ugly is considered one of the most influential soundtracks in history and was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame.

Have you seen this version?

Eastwood's westerns had a huge influence
on my generation. We'd go to the drive-in
and smoke those same brown cigarillos
he smoked and pretend we're as badass as
he was.

Eastwood created the silent tough guy
who solved problems. It's been copied
so many times since. Jason Bourne,
Riddick, Denzel is even doing it now
in his Equalizer movies. Tom Cruise
is doing it in the Reacher films. Keanu
Reeves, as John Wick.

It all started with Clint Eastwood as the
no name drifter. We'd never seen anything
like it, he became a cult hero overnight.
