Which?
George Miller's vision has evolved for the modern palate. Sometimes, maybe most of the time, it does not work (ie the last 2 Indiana Jones films). Fury Road worked imo.
I'm not usually a fan of prequels, prefer the story moving forward. This might very well be Miller's last flick (he's 79) so kinda would rather see how it all ends. Does humanity restore itself? Do we die out? I find that more interesting.
The Mad Men scene is on YT. Is Bill Burr's JFK in it for more than one scene? If one scene any idea what part of the movie it's in? I don't want to watch the whole thing.
Crockett took the bait. Perhaps her emotions got the best of her which happens, she's human. This seems to have been building for a while. It made them both look bad where it could've been just mtg making as ass out of herself once again.
+10 but my answer might depend on the crime.
If 10 guilty murderers go free to keep one innocent person out of jail how is that doing the greatest good for society?
If 10 guilty shoplifters go free & 1 innocent person stays out of jail that's a lot more palatable
I guess at the end of the day there is no way an innocent person should have to do time for a crime they did not commit.
I didn't get that it was criticizing prostitution as an institution (maybe I'm an idiot like Goldfadd very mean & unnecessarily called you). It was just a thing that was legal at that time. It was only Little Bill's town ppl weren't allowed to carry as Sheriffs had a lot of authority back then. Stealing a horse was a death sentence. They didn't have time for months of trials & appeals. Civilization, and all it entails, was coming but not fully implemented yet. The laws of the jungle were still in play to a point.
Death for scarring & for stealing a horse seems harsh by today's standards. But you steal a man's horse you're stealing his livelihood or ability to have one so there needed to be strict deterrents. I still think death for scarring even back then was a little OTT but again that was the woman's livelihood, or maybe more accurately the man in charge's livelihood under attack. But he didn't even want that hit carried out.
I love Unforgiven too.
In the Deadwood movie sheriff Bullock had a line "My job ain't to follow the law. My job is to interpret it." I think back then they had considerable powers of discretion. Bullock was no villain in that show he was probably the most honorable character.
I like it!
This has been a slow moving train coming right at us for decades. It's like paying for new paint on a sinking ship. I should add a car metaphor & a plane metaphor too.
Dude's with a billion dollars I don't feel bad for him.
