High Plains Drifter
Joe Kidd
Two Mules for Sister Sarah

I liked all of them, fav to least fav in the order I listed them too.

I think Joe Kidd deserves more recognition than it gets. i never hear anything about it.

A couple questions about some things i didnt understand about High Plains Drifter

*******SPOILERS********
I wasn't really paying extremely close attention at quite a few parts, but I want some things clarified if possible.
What was this talk the hotel manager had with the woman about mines or something? It seemed like a pretty important plot piece, possibly even a plot twist, but i didn't really catch on. did it have to do something with why the 3 guys were terrorizing the town? the woman mentioned peoples lives were lost over it or something.

second question, what was the significance, if any, of making the town of Lago seem like hell, and Clint taking on this whole devil persona thing at the end? Was it just for effect or was there a deeper meaning to it?

last question:
what was the significance of the midget/sheriff making the grave for that sheriff that never had a grave at the end? Why did Clint say the midget already knew what his name was? Is clint supposed to be some ghostly reincarnation of this guy?

please help clarify this stuff for me so i can better appreciate the film, thanks.

2010.


Wonderful flick. I can see why 2001 fans would hate this and tout it as something which pisses all over the original, but Peter Hyams has done a commendable job handling the intricacies of Kubrick's eccentric visions and giving a plausible explanations to the finer points of the predecessor. It is not genuis filmmaking, nor is it a masterpiece, but its right up there with the finest in sci-fi cinema.

If ever there was an unsung and under-appreciated sci-fi flick in the history of Hollywood, this one is arguably pretty close to being a contender to that title. Highly recommended to all sci-fi lovers out there, who will love watching this with an open mind.

Do it. I watched it after a long while myself, and was impressed by the way it still holds up. The effects might look a bit jaded by today's standards though.

Feast- 8.5/10

Feast 2- 4/10 Way to fuck up what should have been an epic sequel. Good job. Really, i'm truly impressed with your ability to be stupid.
