No freaking "Women are so wonderful, no really they are" documentaries? No female-directed films? No obscure foreign film by a transgender black Hatian refugee? Not the fifteen-thousandth airing of The Women, with the all-female cast, even the dogs? No films airing only because of their title, such as The Gay Falcon?
A Clint Eastwood film? With guns and....VIOLENCE??
I saw that listing this evening, but I have it on BluRay, and my TCM signal is S.D. not H.D.
Is Ben having a tingly sensation over this film?

Didn’t watch last night. It’s among my all-time favorite Westerns and I have seen it many times. This morning I got to wondering though, did TCM discuss the film with a Mankiewicz intro? I would have liked to have heard that.

I only have it on VHS and I dug it out a few nights ago to watch. For some reason the tape would start and then stop so I ejected it and in pulling it out the tape broke, man was I pissed! In looking at the tape I could see that it broke right at the beginning of the tape so I took the case apart, removed the broken section of tape and reattached the main portion. It worked fine and all I lost was the introductory previews. The full movie feature was intact, so I was able to enjoy my movie afterall. I was a little leery of the rewind so I cozied it up to the beginning. I don't trust it though, so I'll be getting it in DVD shortly. It's a great movie!

Around here, we got something known as a Missouri boat ride.
This is one of my all time favorite movies and books.
When I was in AFG, one of the guys from my detachment bought a Clint Eastwood CD box set. So one night after a long day of missions we watched The Outlaw Josey Wales and the next night we watched The Rookie.
Over 3/4 of the guys (there were 12 of us) were young and had not seen either movie.
Lets just say they were sold on the Josey Wales at the end of the night.

ggile, please don't be offended, but have you been freeze dried or doing hard time? VHS and DVD are ancient tech, I haven't patched a videotape or 8- track in decades. The next time you buy this flick get the BD or wait for the 4kBD. The resolution and the uncompressed audio make for the best this movie has ever looked and sounded. Just sayin, no offense man.

It's a great movie!
