The Ballad of Buster Scraggs

Post by Petingo »

Netflix started showing thus filum this week.

I think it is brilliant.

It is a sefies of vignettes from the Old West.....some comic, some tragic.
Alex Young, Howard Kendall, Andy King, Timmy Cahill, Dixie Dean and Mike Parry.....we'll never see the likes of them again.

It won't be for all Pet, but if one likes the Coen brothers films, you will love it. The stories stay with you, long after the film has finished don't they? And Tom Waits was born to play a grizzled, old gold prospector :)

It's the best thing the Coen's have done for a long time.

The Tom Waites bit was excellent, but the scenery was better.

I've heard some very mixed reviews. Originally it was going to be a 6 part TV series but that got shelved for some reason.

Indeed, Darky.

I have loved the Coens since I first discovered their work in Fargo.

Can't arsed with the TV much to be honest. I put the damn thing on most days and then find I'm takiing no notice at all so turn the sound off and go on the internet. I prefer radio now as I can do both.

Iplayer and the other catchups will do me. Anything I really want to watch I usually find some place or other even if it's piratebay.

Besides if I watched the TV much you'd get less of me on here :D

Absolutely brilliant film, I loved the stories and espciall the first one which I found had a very twist in its tale.

A huge steaming dog turd of a film - that's 2 hours of your life you'll never get back

Basically a collection of scenes that go nowhere with no real ending to any of them, you spend your time assuming that they'll all tie in at the end, but they don't

Fucking rubbish.
