On lioness, I liked season 1.
Season 2 tough to get into. Watched two episodes, may not make three

I honestly don't know how you could actually portray the more gruesome and barbaric accounts of the Comanche in that book. i.e. stringing up a 10-11 month old baby to the back of a horse and running it back and forth through a briar patch as the Comanche hoot and hollar and the captive mother looks on in horror.Vince Blake said:aTmAg said:Is this a real thing?

He acquired the rights earlier this year. I have no issue with him taking his time with it. Such a great book.

I am rare in that I love both Sicario movies, almost equally. Maybe with the slight lead going to Sicario 1...the cinematography is damn near perfection. I watch each one probably at least 3-4 times a year. Although, not the biggest fan of trying to turn this kid into a hardened cholo/banger. At least give him a Marbach Mop Top aka "Edgar" haircut lol.Max Power said:I rewatched the first one this weekend, it just doesn't get old to me. The border crossing/shootout scene is an all-timer to me, it's incredible.TequilaMockingbird said:
Sicario 3, please.
Sicario 2 reminded me too much of Sheridan's other work when he starts out on a high point and then there's diminishing returns. Though if he writes another I'd still go see it on opening weekend. When he sticks with original material it's hard for him to be beaten IMO. Sicario, Wind River, Hell or High Water are all great. Those Who Wish Me Dead was fine for a straight to streaming movie during the pandemic. Without Remorse is the only one I didn't care for but it's also not original material for him, it's from Tom Clancy.
And torturing captives, including a 6 year old in full (distant) view of their families.William Foster said:I honestly don't know how you could actually portray the more gruesome and barbaric accounts of the Comanche in that book. i.e. stringing up a 10-11 month old baby to the back of a horse and running it back and forth through a briar patch as the Comanche hoot and hollar and the captive mother looks on in horror.Vince Blake said:aTmAg said:Is this a real thing?

I'm not sure a normal human being could watch an entire movie of the truth about the Comanches - would have to have a sadist streak to watch that kind of thing. Reading is one thing, watching is another.aTmAg said:
I wonder if any studio would even allow the truth about the Comanches to be broadcast. That's outside the allowable content by the PC police.
Would this be a movie or a series? God I hope it would be a series. That's just to much stuff to cover for a single movie. You got the Spanish, Fort Parker massacre, Coffee "Jack" Hays and the Texas Rangers, Sully rescuing Cynthia Ann Parker, then the Civil War years, the rise of Quanah Parker, then Mackenzie and the US Army, and the fall of the Comanche, and then Quanah's death.jwoodmd said:I'm not sure a normal human being could watch an entire movie of the truth about the Comanches - would have to have a sadist streak to watch that kind of thing.

Interesting bit from that story which I think shows how out-of-touch the coastal elites are with the rest of the country:jenn96 said:
Great write-up from Trung Phan about Sheridan and his writing process and motivations.

Having finally found critical and commercial success in film, Sheridan's next project would be his biggest yet. In fact, it would be one of the biggest TV shows in recent memory: Yellowstone.
Sheridan had started working on the project in 2013. His original vision was for a film pitched as "The Godfather in Montana". HBO passed on the idea with one exec remarking that it felt "too Middle America" (after Yellowstone went nuclear, the exec that passed on the show tried to pitch Sheridan a different project but Sheridan told him to kick rocks).

Wishful thinking probably. But would love to see him do a mini series or a movie on the Alamo. Previous attempts left a lot to be desired.
I didn't realize James Dean was at the Alamo.bonfarr said:T for Texas said:

You mean Alec Baldwin portraying a Texas revolutionary hero didn't do it for you?

Sheridan looks jacked for his age in that first episode of Lioness season 2.
