I thought the hues of Stella and Shirley’s hair coloring looked unnatural in this film. Shirley’s hair looked gray in some lighting.
Her request to have a little bit of breathing room at the outset of their marriage (i.e., time apart from Eddie) is concerning on its face but might have just been acceptable if she meant during a honeymoon of a week or two. But she was requesting a period of MONTHS. Then comes the kicker: TO START. Obviously she has in mind sending him away to boarding school or the like.
Tom should have seen if Rita would have agreed to send her little dog away, too.
I was thinking the same thing. He looks terrible in ”Looking for Japanese Subs” (S.18.E14).
Looks good with a beard.
He’s a non-racist who engages in race baiting for constructive reasons or for good-natured ribbing? Naw, Occam’s razor says he’s racist.
Thanks.
I thought she was plenty attractive in LIS. Many of her spacesuits were form-fitting.
Thanks. Was it mainly a budgetary consideration?
Reminded me of the Roy Batty character (played by Rutger Hauer) from “Blade Runner” — both in appearance and psychologically..
Bill reminds me of Sen. Teddy Kennedy who liked to party a lot with women on boats away from prying eyes.
TSMDM had already jumped the shark, anyway. Gil might have helped the studio extend the series’ run by a season or two but they wouldn’t have produced quality episodes. It would have been like Ashton Kutcher taking over for Charlie Sheen late in the run of Two and a Half Men.
Perhaps the races lived in separate domed cities or the war that ended the earlier civilization was a race war won by the whites or the computer(s) that managed society eventually became genocidal. The computers killed people once they turned thirty to manage the population, maybe their programming led to other perverse outcomes like only raising babies with certain characteristics.
The real explanation likely is that the crowd shots in the movie were apparently filmed in Dallas which had a population that appears to have been between 75-80% white in the 1970s.
Does anyone ever expect someone to behave in a brazenly amoral fashion like Hester? She was not only a gold digger but she seemed willing to carry on simultaneous affairs with the brothers and maybe even “Dad”.
That she was.
Past time. It’s been all downhill since ‘Empire Strikes Back’ and the recent installments have been unwatchable bilge.
Yes — definitely entertaining. Ingrid is luminous and Susan deliciously wicked.
Thanks, I’m glad I’m not alone in finding Morse’s action out of character.
Yes — in drag. Can’t unsee that, now.
Cherry dies in the book but his fate is left unresolved in the movie. However, elsewhere in a different moviechat discussion thread, someone claims to have heard John Ireland, the actor who played Cherry, say that there was an unused scene filmed in which Cherry was shown in a bar with his arm in a sling, indicating he had survived the duel and there were no hard feelings.
Matt admits at one point, though, that if not for Thomas having driven the cowhands so hard, they wouldn’t have made it even to Abilene. I wonder if, in retrospect (i.e., paid and happy), the cowhands were inclined to forgive Thomas and consider following him on any more cattle drives.
