These are guys who are in love with movies. So am I, and I recognize movies aren't life, but there's a story that John Milius would take a girl to see THE SEARCHERS on a first date, and if she didn't get it, he ghosted her.

When I was watching the Django DVD, I began counting historical errors. Afterwards, I watched the director's interview where Tarantino bragged about his research, indicating his was one of the most accurately researched movies ever.<br /><br />As Bill Cosby's Noah might say… Riiiiiiiiight.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3119105822589181967.post-74014846682584228992022-07-13T20:37:52.022-04:002022-07-13T20:37:52.022-04:00John : CONVOY is clearly junk, and while OSTERMAN...John : CONVOY is clearly junk, and while OSTERMAN WEEKEND and KILLER ELITE definitely have their moments, they're still lesser material.
