Tombstone (1 Viewer)

[Otis]

One of the greatest flicks ever. It's one of those movies that when you plop down on the couch on a rainy Saturday afternoon you are just giddy to scroll past.

GB this.

 

[Raider Nation]

Recorded this from HBO2 overnight. Looking forward to it.

I love all of Eastwood's westerns so I assume this one will be in the same ballpark.

I couldn't get past Kurt Russels stupid fake mustache

OMG you're going to love it! Eastwood was so underrated in this one. So subtle he really blends in to the background, almost like he's not even there.

 

[General Malaise]

Burt Reynolds was excellent in this.

 

[STEADYMOBBIN 22]

How did that even happen? Pre Golden Oats years?

 

[Moe.]

GB the movie that gave us

Well...

Bye.

I missed the part where I said Eastwood was in this.

I missed the part where Eastwood's westerns have anything do with the price of tea in China as it relates to Tombstone.

Allow me to clarify, since this is obviously so fascniating....

The ONLY westerns I have EVER sat through had Eastwood in them. Hoping this one is in the same ballpark, EVEN THOUGH EASTWOOD ISN'T IN IT.

 

[Tony Jabroni]

Top 5. EASY.

If you have never seen Tombstone, just sit back and enjoy.

You want a great western? Watch Lonesome Dove. All of it. Now THAT'S an epic.

 

[Raider Nation]

I'm already pumped up just knowing this guy is in it. Big fan.

 

[eurotrashman]

It's not that good.

He owns it, too.

Throw something in your crock pot, and enjoy this masterpiece.

i'd go so far as to call it one of the most over rated movies of all time

Gonna start it now. Be back with a review in a couple of hours. Hopefully Eastwood kills.

 

[grateful zed]

i love the tim conway cameo.

Val Kilmer as Doc Holliday makes it worth the watch.

 

[Tony Jabroni]

"You smell that, Bill?"

"Smells like someone died..."

"Jesus, Johnny"

 

[Raider Nation]

Ten minutes in and Sam Elliott has the only believable mustache.

This could be said about any motion picture he's been in.

I'm sold. Kurt b-slapping Billy Bob was

"I said throw down boy!"

 

[Raider Nation]

Uh oh... can this movie survive the Bill Paxton/Billy Zane/Jason Priestley trifecta?

 

[Christo]

Top 5. EASY.

Top 5 what?

 

[NutterButter]

Val Kilmer as Doc Holliday makes it worth the watch.

What the hell after happened to that guy

What the hell after happened to that guy

He was such a jerk to work with he killed his career. I think he was one of the best actors of our time. If he wasn't such a diva with anger issues, we would still be seeing him today.

Also... I have not yet begun to defile myself.

I'm surprised there are people that haven't seen this movie.

Great film. Open range, no country, in forgiven and tombstone are the best westerns of the last 30 years.

Agree here. All great flicks.

Tombstone in retrospect is annoying because of Kurt Russel, but Kilmer is good enough in it to make the movie.

I have a student named Wyatt.

I always say to him "Wyatt, you are an oak".

You're just not going to let that one go. It ain't a "Western". It took place in the 80's!

eta: For me, Tombstone was mediocre at best as a Western. It doesn't compare to any of the old Eastwood Westerns. Except for Kilmer, it was only good back when I was in highschool.

"Western" indicates a certain era?

Wyatt Earp is good, too.

Yes, for the most part.

So it's impossible for a filmmaker to shoot a "western" tomorrow?

No, it's not. If it isn't set in the 1800's, it would be, though. By most accounts, that's what a Western is about. I know what you're getting at, though. We have had this conversation before, somewhere on here. The characters themselves and the plot can't just make it a "Western". The time period and setting are the main factors that put it in that genre, at least that's how I think most people see it, including myself.

eta: I'll leave that argument alone. It's been had before on here. I don't get it.

3 hours long and it has bad ratings? I'm not sure I could get myself to sit through something that long if it drags much. But I thought No Country sucked, so what do I know.

 

[Abraham]

Westerns are defined by the story and the struggle of the characters. They include a sense of morality that ties in to the ultimate victory or success of the protaganist. No country is a western. Deal with it.

It's an ok movie, not great. It came out about the same time as Tombstone and wasn't as good so it got panned somewhat.

I refuse to accept that.
