direct-to-video recommendation

Seraphim Falls is a thoroughly awesome movie for many, many reasons, not the least of which is this line:

"What's yours will always return to you. What you take will always be taken from you."

I gotta confess, I didn't much care for Pierce Brosnan back in his Remington Steele days and I never could follow a James Bond movie all the way through, but between this movie and Grey Owl, I find myself with a new lease on fandom.

Thanks, brdgt, for recommending! (BTW, I really liked The Proprosition, but between Nick Cave and Guy Pierce, you simply can't miss.)

Proposition is coming on the 'Flix. Shit should be poppin'

Did you hear that we watched 4 westerns in two weeks? _Fistful_, _Few $$$ More_, and _GB&tU_, plus _Two Mules for Sister Sarah_

The hype for Eastwood is well deserved.

I just don't freakin' know how i missed this whole fucking genre.

Jesus, parents! No rock music, no westerns, just Legos and Classical - it's like they wanted me to be smart or something.

In their defense, one of my Dad's favorite movies of ALL TIME is _Romancing the Stone_, which he would constantly try to tape off of the TV, only to have the tape run out before the end; this happened at least three different times.

I also discovered the genre kind of late. One dreary Sunday I was sitting around channel surfing when I happened upon High Plains Drifter ... and life as I knew it had changed forever!

I'm pretty sure that i'm going to regret uttering the phrase "The Outlaw Josey Wales?!? What kind of pussy name is 'Josey Wales, anyway?"

Two of his best lines come from that movie (I think):

"Buzzard gotta eat, same as the worm."

-and-

"Dying is a helluva way to make a living, boy."

I'm so glad you liked it! Have you seen The Matador? It's another recent Pierce Brosnan film (not a western, more of a dark comedy, costarring Greg Keneer) that I was pleasantly surprised by.
