Last of the Mohicans, Braveheart, No Country for Old Men, Dances with Wolves. Basically any violent Oscar worthy film prominently featuring war, mountains, valleys, and open fields.
This is not the movie the comes to mind first, but its very well done.
Because she makes bad decisions. If she were smart, she'd leave a single trailer out there on the property and bring in a custom home builder to construct a lakefront home with a pier extending into the water. Live in the trailer during construction, keep an eye on things. She could probably get financing from Marty or a local lender. Maybe even subdivide a portion of the land and sell it off to raise money for construction costs or pay for a yacht.
If anything, I think the gay characters in the show are depicted as being sexually deviant, depraved nutcases. The FBI guy obviously had shitload of emotional baggage and used his orientation to lure Langmore into his case. Langmore was a bum willing to commit cold blooded murder, a crappy father, and also gay when it suited him. Not exactly the domesticated gay couple image that you see depicted on other shows.
Yeah, I was trying to throw woman into the mix as a good decision maker. I guess chucking Frank Jr. off the boat, deciding to date Wendy's brother (Ben), getting Ben out of the hospital, trusting and now apparently teaming up with a psychopath, and generally sticking around town when she could probably just leave with the money she's made and get a job somewhere else, are all bad decisions.
Good summary of events. I think the underlying premise here is that there is that the only good decision makers among the main characters are (1) Marty Byrde, and (2) Ruth.
Helen- Dead because she decided to move to the Ozarks, which wasn't really necessary, and chose to bring her bratty daughter with her
Wendy- Rejected Marty's plan to skip town with her and the kids because she wanted to hang out with Helen and be a big shot
Jacob- Married a psycho that kills for sport.
Wyatt- Breaks into homes instead of going to college, shacks up with his grandmother
Frank Sr.- Let's his moronic son and his friends handle cash exchanges, and let's him hang around the casino causing problems
Darlene- Kills her husband, the only somewhat rational figure in her life, and is basically an unhinged murderer
Byrde kids- One wanted to be emancipated, which would require disclosure of the family's activities, and is generally an entitled brat. One wants to play mobster and likes to play with guns (boy, he's lucky that Helen is dead now....).
BTW- With the level of turnover here due to all the murders, this show is going to have to come up with some more characters.
Ben did at least 6 incredibly stupid things to place the Byrde family (and himself) in danger
(1) Storming the gate at Frank's place
(2) Tossing a hissy fit in public during the charity fundraiser where he yells about the Bryde's criminal activity
(3) Confronting Helen
(4) Calling Helen from his cell phone while on the run with Wendy (giving away their position)
(5) Telling the cops at that Walmart that he and his sister were running from the Cartel
(6) Buying another phone at the convenience store and trying to hide it from Wendy.
I'm surprised he survived after #1.
That's really not all that many.
Eggs are full of cholesterol. Unless you make an omlet.
Those were eggs he got from a Hawks nest.
This shit doesn't go over too well in the me too world. Plus the teacher chick is actually not that hot, so wouldn't even be funded today.
Maybe not.
The flys would not be a plot hole because they represent hubris
She then killed her entire MWT 9:00am Modern Europeon History class with a rusty pitchfork and ate their carcasses.
Did not have tenure, so she had to make a lateral move and take a similar position at Santa Clara University.
I'm pretty sure that's not the last we've heard of Mark. Got off a bit easy there, and apparently there was some serious trauma based on that scene 20 years later when they find his picture. What he did that weekend was bad but not lifetime damage type stuff. I bet he tries to get revenge or something.
Maybe he had an oxygen tank or a really long transparent snorkel. That could also be inferred.
Telepathy?
Would you agree to subtitles then?
But there was an Adam and Steve.
Then it should have been said in a voice over.
That's like assuming that there's dry land in waterworld because Kevin Costner was riding around on a sea-doo. How did that thing get there? How did the gills get on Jason Mamula?
The director should have showed the gills in a quick cutaway afterwards.
