STOP SAYING 'SHANE'!




Of course the film is called "Shane" but the name is said far too many times, within the film, to the point of it being an annoyance!

"Shane" is mostly said by the irritating kid, who is an all-round annoyance...

You and the op are annoying.

Was that comment a reaction of frustation to the fact that someone made a negative comment about your favorite film?

Your generation really scares me.

What is about us that makes you so paranoid?

I just watched the film and loved it. Having had much experience with little boys, I found young Brandon DeWilde adorable. Boys do idolize their heroes!

reply

I just watched it on TCM, and I agree, the actor did a great job of showing his affection and idolization of Shane.

reply

I don't understand the OP's statement. What were the characters supposed to say? "Hey, Melvin," "Stop him, Phil," "Come back, Jamal!"

"May I bone your kipper, Mademoiselle?"

reply

No there's just no need to say his name at the start and/or at the end of every sentence. It's very contrived and annoying.


It's so horrible to see your own confusion and understand it.

The kids father should have been his hero. Not some drifter riding through town. Shane and the kid were BOTH annoying as all hell. This film is incredibly OVERRATED!!!

They weren't complaining about the movie, itself. Just commenting and pointing out a small part of the film that annoyed them.

Not a big deal.

I just counted, by doing a search on the subtitles file and... they say SHANE 87 times!!

Eighty-seven times!!! That is waayyy to much! :p

Thanks. i knew it was dozens and dozens — mostly by Joey. It’s way overused, I agree.
