It was weird how it affected some more than others (albeit thats a fairly standard part of life I guess). Charlie Utter, Bullock and Sol all looked at least 20 years older, but the rest scrubbed up pretty well relatively speaking. Joanie Stubbs still looks mint for her age.

Another interesting aside which was either my memory letting me down, or a change for the movie version, was the several references for Jane becoming "Calamity Jane" (which we always knew she was anyway).

Then there was obviously the age changes to contend with (which were surprisingly stark in some, yet not as pronounced in others).

Anyhoo, what started as a trepidation filled view fairly quickly slipped right back into the zone of yesteryear(s) as soon as you heard those glorious references to "Swedgin" and "F***ing Woo". By the time the film was over it seemed a well told story that added closure to the series and for most of the characters.

It's likely prompted me to find time to start the series again from S1E1, such was the great quality of cast, story and dialogue. If you were a fan of the series then it's definitely worth a look, and for others I'd suggest smashing out the HBO weekly stuff before watching this flick.

@Jimmy_041 have you seen this mate, and if so what'd ya think?


Never seen it. I dont have Stan
I dont mind a good western and I like Ian McShane movies

My bad, I though I recalled you were a Deadwood fan .. Maybe it was the Wire or something? Worth a look if it ever becomes available on one of the networks you can access - Ian McShane's best ever role imho.

I can't remember loving the start of a film more than I did watching the start of 1917 with the soldiers in the trenches, the way it was shot was just so immersive and gave you no time to look away or zone out of what was happening on screen. The second half of the film is a bit messy but as whole it is a great film mainly because of the way it's shot. It really gives you a sense of how horrible trench warfare was.


Seen this last Sunday. Agree the start is brilliant.
It makes you wonder why this type of filmography hasn't been done before.

saw this the other night... Loved it

You should watch Midway too, I watched it during the week and loved it. Very good representation of the conflict between the US and Japan in the Pacific theatre during WW2. I probably enjoyed it more than 1917.


I watched Midway tonight. That was somewhere between Australia (where a Jap plane drops a torpedo on Darwin harbour and blows it up) and Pearl Harbour (another $hit war film)
Watch the original Midway. You won’t regret it DK. Real ships and planes :shock:

Have had this on my watchlist for so long. Even having daily emails from our new accounts lady named Trixie hasn't prompted me to watch it. I think I'm worried that it won't live up to what forever changed viewing for myself and many others.

I didn't love the movie but wow he was fantastic in it IMO

I didn't love the movie, but Phoenix was exceptional, drew me in. Thought the movie was a bit slow as it played out the story but when it finished I appreciated the build up and how it all came together.

Went from 0-100 real quick at the end.

Enjoyed it in the end, but didn't love it.

Tend to agree with above comments here.

It does feel an abrupt end at times, but I reckon there’s no avoiding that trying to wrap up in 90 mins or so. Totally understand your reservations, I was a bit the same, with a look though I reckon mate.

What did you think? I didn't like it was more like a marvel movie, the guy just needed a cape.

Only a few decades behind here, but I watched (I think for the first time*) Blues Brothers on Netflix.

Well worth the couple of hours.

*I have seen the car chases before, but not the entire movie start to finish.

Not on purpose, but I think because I've seen so many snippets, I've never been bothered watching the middle bits.

Turns out, I don't think I've seen all the car chases, nor music scenes - EVER!
