The first season is still on the streaming list, if you have Netflix. At least, I think it still is.
Are they trying to make me an insomniac?

Nope, never watched it. I just looked it up on IMDB though, and it seems interesting. I like Quaid and Chiklis. Have you seen justified? I was hooked on that for a few seasons, need to get caught up one day.

Like you said, not the proudest moment in American history. Westerns are on all the time here but all I see is shooting, pans across the beautiful landscape then more shooting and some tight shots on an actor's face then back to a wide angle and more shooting.
I like movies, I work for a film studio, just can't get into westerns. I feel sick.
I fucking love Dances with Wolves though...
I can't stand to see all those natives killed as a general rule, though my tribe is south american; they didn't get quite so much ofthe publicity of atrocities committed against them and the seizure of their land.

Dances with Wolves is one I never watched. Kevin Costner's acting is atrocious. Robin Hood with no accent? Really? lol

It's kind of an iconic movie all the same. I didnt really care about his accent, I was in it for the cinematography and soundtrack lol
But seriously, Dances with Wolves is one that everyone should watch... Avatar was definitely influenced by it, along with Princess Mononoke, but clearly the original was the true story of Pocohontas. The New World with Q'Orianka Kilcher is the best live action adaption I've seen so far.

Very true to all what you said. I'm of Native American decent, although not much, a little goes along way in my eyes. What was done to the American natives was almost along the lines of what the nazis did to the Jews. A lot of movies, mainly pre-1970s, were pretty ignorant with their depectation of the Indians but were entertaining non-the-less. The shoot em up movies are perfect if that's what your into and some cases they hit it right on the money, i.e. Tombstone (for the most part factual). I'd say most westerns aren't for you if you aren't into a litlle violence with the exception of some. I think I lost my point now, just a litlle drunk and stoned rambling on.

Princess Mononoke... there's one I haven't seen in years. I loved it as a kid, it's actually what got me into anime. I may have to give it a chance after all.

Kuroi, my daughter is 28. People use to hate to go to movies with me because I talk about lighting, angles, directing, and continuity. I taught my daughter the same thing since she was 3. She was in film studies at college, but is now disabled due to an automobile accident.
Her friends use to hate going to movies with her for the same reasons mine did LOL. Send me the books and I'll rip through them for you.
BTW I like Last of the Dogmen...thought some of the acting was a bit weak.
Chumani tatanka oh wa chi

Come on man! Open Range, water world, postman, hatfield and mccoys? He's made his fair share of bad movies though. I believe some actors just need to know there role. A lot of people say Kevin Costner acts the same way in all his movies, which I do agree with, but so does jack Nicholson, sameual l Jackson, Tommy lee jones, Robert Duvall and bunch of others I can't think of right now. I think a lot of people just don't like Kevin Costner, not my favorite but he's alright.

I'll have to look into Justified, looks good unfortunately FX is apparently a luxury channel according to dish because it's not included in on my $50 package. Maybe Netflix?

Waterworld is full of terrible acting, but for some reason, it just works. ha ha Your point is valid though. There have been other actors in the past that I have disliked, who turned out to be surprisingly good when I saw some of their other work.

Yeah bad acting for sure. I'd say it's a really really good B movie with a good story line Postman isn't far off from that at all but they make interesting theories on post appocolyptic scenarios with Kevin Costner saving us all.

That's shitty. FX used to be on basic cable, when I had it. I'm not entirely surprised though, they like to push limits (For, at the time, a basic cable network.) on that station. If they could get into the HBO realm of programming, their writers would be happier than pigs in shit.

Agreed. Sister and bro in law get it. The show archer is good.

I do love me a Bruce Campbell movie. I haven't found a lot of sympathizers. Most people just don't appreciate a good B movie. In light of all this, perhaps I should give Costner a second shot.

Archer is amazing! It's one of those shows that makes me laugh so hard sober, I almost can't watch it high; I damn near hurt myself laughing.

Back on westerns, you ever watch Once upon a time in the west?

It rings a bell. Courtesy of TNT, back when it existed, I watched a lot of westerns during their marathons. They need something like that again.

B movies are great.
Did you here SyFy channel makers of stone cold clasics such as mega shark vs giant octopus have bought th rights to waterworld? Either gonna remake the movie the way it should have been (whole concept was sooo B moviesque) or they might just make a dodgy series out of it.
Either way interesting development in th crazy world of B movies.
