I liked the first two episodes. However, the illegal alien hysterics are hysterical. The show acts like we live in a country that enforces immigration laws.Assassin said:

Did you catch Barry Corbin's cameo role in Yellowstone as the old timer on the 6666 Ranch that gave Jimmy some sage advice? Barry Corbin is one of the best ever..He's been around for awhile, and even now continues to bring colorful charcters to life..Ross comes from "good stock!"Assassin said:
If you are watching '1883', basically how the Duttons came to their slice of heaven, watch out for Mikel. Thats Jordan Walker Ross who also plays James the Lesser on 'Chosen'. His grandpa is Barry Corbin
He comes in as the fellow in the wagon with the jeans at about 3 minutes.... 'I dont speak no English'
Barry has the same agent I used to have, Linda McAlister as does Jordan. We were talking about Barry's spot in Yellowstone yesterday afternoon.Bexar Pitts said:Did you catch Barry Corbin's cameo role in Yellowstone as the old timer on the 6666 Ranch that gave Jimmy some sage advice?

Funny thing. I had kinda lost my Texas accent over the years, working all over the world. Within a couple of minutes I had a Barry Corbin accent!Bexar Pitts said:
What a GREAT interview! So appreciate you putting that up..Great insight into his life...I remember the charecters that were brought up..loved them all..especially Uncle Bob in "Urban Cowboy"..and the famous line from "War Games." ..Thank you, Sir!
I'll bet you're looking forward to that! BTW, his one scene as Ellis in 'No Country For Old Men" was just great..He basically laid out the story in that one scene, and the Coen bros really got it right with Mr. Corbin.. Another one of his "perfectly" casted roles...Assassin said:
btw - thanks, first part of the interview I did in 2003 with Jordans help. We were in one of those old email groups before the internet developed as it did. The second part was in 2021.
Barry lost his voice this week but within the next couple of weeks, we are gonna do a podcast.
Strange how many girls (and guys) spend tons of money on looking prettier thinking thats what it takes to make it on TV and Movies but the real way to keep working is to be a great character. You saw what happened to Jennifer Grey when she got her nose fixed after Dirty Dancing and Beuhler's Day Off, everyone wanted her the way she was. Barry was a handsome guy back in his day but by the time he made it, he was middle aged and had Alopecia (lost all his hair, has to have eyebrows, wig and everything else added each time he works)Bexar Pitts said:I'll bet you're looking forward to that!

Roger that.."Character" actors have always been some of my favorites..From the old westerns ,I really enjoyed the roles of Edgar Buchanan and Arthur Hunnicutt..Great artists..I recall an interview with Ben Johnson, who kinda dissed his being among the "great" actors of the time..but said he was certainly the best around to play "him." So true..Buscemi was awesome in "Fargo" and certainly in "The Sopranos"..Strother Martin was another favorite character actor of mine..Assassin said:Strange how many girls (and guys) spend tons of money on looking prettier thinking thats what it takes to make it on TV and Movies but the real way to keep working is to be a great character.

Another thought is Steve Buscemi. Great character actor but lousy lead (Boardwalk Empire). That was great show but I never bought him as the lead.
I second that list. "What we've got here is failure to communicate", possibly one of the greatest lines in cinema history, came from Strother in 'Cool Hand Luke'. Oh to have been the writer that wrote that line and it found its way to Martin who had the perfect deliveryBexar Pitts said:Roger that.."Character" actors have always been some of my favorites..From the old westerns ,I really enjoyed the roles of Edgar Buchanan and Arthur Hunnicutt..Great artists..I recall an interview with Ben Johnson, who kinda dissed his being among the "great" actors of the time..but said he was certainly the best around to play "him."

Happens a lot of the pay channelsAliceinbubbleland said:
When I started "1883" I didn't realize I could only access the first three episodes. I got hooked so tonight I took the free trial of Paramont+ even thought that network offers nothing else of interest. I'll catch up tonight but really disappointed this is the only outlet.
Tonight at about 3am all seven episodes of Ozark drop on Netflix. How unusual is that to have an entire season at once?
thought the same thing. plus the supreme beings that opened the rings would have shut them all down, not just that one (IMO)TechDawgMc said:
Finished "The Expanse" this week. It was a really good series, but kind of went out quietly. I wouldn't say the last season was bad, but it was a bit odd. They left some things hanging and they wrapped the story rather quickly.
It'll be interesting to see if they come back in a few years with a sequel to address the last 3-4 books. They laid the seeds for it, but just left things hanging.
The fella that wrote the books, Lee Childs, is Exec Producer. He and Ritchson are turning into good budsKeyser Soze said:
Like the first episode - somewhat mindless fun
It's a pretty good version of the Reacher novels. Guess it makes sense if Child is helping produce. I haven't decided how much I like Ritchson. He plays the part a tad goofy at times, but he certainly fits the role better than Cruise did.Assassin said:
The new Reacher series isnt bad. John Ritchson played 'Hawk' in the Titans series. 6'3 and cut. Very different from Tom Cruise 5' nuttin. Closer to the novels apparently. More 'in your face'
Kinda strange but yes, I am watching. 14 books in one heck of a lot of TV episodesTechDawgMc said:
Anyone who read the books watching Wheel of Time?
I'm wondering what they are going to do with a 14 book series. Are they following something like what a lot of series do and doing one book per season? I don't see any way they are going to do that many seasons.
I wonder how much of a plan they have to get finished.
wife liked it, she jumped to vampire diaries next.. not really my thingAssassin said:
Discovery of Witches is about to wrap. Final episode, final season. While fairly predictable, its a fun time waster
