    I'm not down with calling GwtW racist -- or more racist than its time, anyway. Prissy is a bragging but cowardly servant -- she's not black because she's bad she's black because she's a slave at Tara. Mammy, another slave, is the most positive character in the entire movie, white or black.

        Kepler is absolutely right. It should have been handled off the board. I apologize for posting it. Case closed. Back to your regularly scheduled movie talk.

          I'm going to see Avengers: End Game on Tuesday night on the ultra mega super screen at my local theater. ($5.35/ticket or $16.32/ticket? I'll wait...)

          At any rate, what are the chances I can actually make it into the movie 90% spoiler free?

            I'd like to see a more realistic Bond who lives in a van down by the river, but I guess that window has closed.

                Old Man And The Gun:
                Based on the true story of Forrest Tucker and his audacious escape from San Quentin at the age of 70 to an unprecedented string of heists that confounded authorities and enchanted the public.

                Robert Redford (in his final role), Sissy Spacek, Casey Affleck, Tom Waits...some other faces one might know. Great movie. "Based on" is accurate; I guess they wanted to show the story how the real Tucker saw it in his head. Very done, and I dare say it's charming. Also amazing how long the "Over The Hill Gang" lasted at the end. Well worth a watch.
                Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

                    Forewarning: he doesn't really play a major role, Rob/Sissy/Casey take those roles. Waits plays part of Rob's crew. He does have a nice monologue, though.

                      He rarely does. But he can steal the hell out of a scene.

                        He can. And sometimes he can star: See the Buster Scruggs movie (which I think you have). He's great in that.

                          His may well have been my favorite part of that one.

                            Liam's part was great, but man, was THAT one dark. That movie was very very good all around. Hard to pick a fave in that one.

                                That movie really disappointed me.
