I'll go you one better and say I thought Quaid was a better Doc than Kilmer.

It's been awhile since I've seen it, I remember liking it too. One thing that bugged me was how tacked-on the love story seemed, at least in comparison to Wyatt Earp or Tombstone. So all things considered they're all kind of equal with me.

I love the story about the pot dealers who are taken to this drug lord's house by taxi. They just got off the plane and the first ride they hitch takes them all the way there.

I'm with you there. I'm more worried about the network. This kind of show seems more like something FX, or even HBO (to who they originally pitched this too).

De Niro swerving into the next lane towards the end of Heat. Watch that and Unforgiven back to back and you'll see quite a few similarities. Can't help but wonder if Eastwood and Hackman played the criminal and cop in that one.

Wow. Is that online somewhere?

I actually prefer Wyatt Earp to Tombstone, which is good enough on it's own. But both pale in comparison to Unforgiven. Though I would like to see the "director's cut" of Tombstone Kurt Russell has spoken about a few times.

I'd just prefer to think his career really ended with Royal Tenenbaums. Oddly enough, the same with Sean Connery and Finding Forrester too.

It's a close 2nd to Once Upon a Time in the West for me. That's much more of an epic and almost mythic story. But where Unforgiven scores high with me is that it feels like this is what it was really like then. It's far from documentary, but it eschews myth completely and feels very realistic in it's approach.

You're ALL forgiven!

U-Turn and Very Bad Things.

It's easy to google them. Just "Yes band" or "Asia band" works.

And Her was no less stunning either.

And Road To Perdition definitely earned it, despite being by that point a posthumous award.

Thomas Newman's music, too. Mendes has been wise to use him ever since.

I did too but I really haven't seen it since around that time, so maybe a re-watch is due. I thought it was a nice dose of realism about middle/upper class America when real triteness like American Pie was coming out.

That's something I wish Mann had been doing on HBO instead of killing horses.

He's clearly just keeping one of those guns warm for Matt.

I was just quoting the article.
