Entirely allegorical and i thought it was fantastic.

Nobody is stupid enough to think this is literally an alien invasion film where they can be defeated by cups of water. The entire thing is symbols. ...or signs.

It has a great message of destiny and purpose. The aliens are like that gnawing doubt and disbelief that lodges itself in your soul.

Fucking Water!? To this day… just, what the fuck??

It's a pretty schticky joke, I would not be surprised if some version of it predates the film. A lot of the jokes in the film are also exaggerations of historical rumours, jokes, stereotypes, truths etc. It's not like every scene or bit is a new idea created from whole cloth.

i guess you can see the heist in City on Fire, but i haven't watched the movie in years so i forgot if it's there or not

Yellowstone is not a movie. r/television is right here.

Yeah The Good, the Bad and the Ugly era was literally the 1960s.

Yes, I agree. This is often the case with these types of films, sadly. The ending usually disappoints either simply because the mystery is gone, or because the resolution is executed poorly.

There may be a little Mandela Effect on this, but the movie was the first time I remember seeing it though it feels like it may have been a joke before. The idea that Moses adjusted on the fly fits, especially since one of the named commandments was though shalt not murder and it was the first thing he ordered after he came down from the mountain the first time.

It proved that Hollywood shouldn’t be afraid of making R rated movies

The fun part is him already haggling down how much he needs to watch to become a "certified fan"

I may have found a business idea... /j

I just watched that video. Never heard of that guy before. He is way smarter than I am. I did not enjoy his thoughts. Even if he is completely correct, his point of view was like medicine or vitamins. Good stuff, but not fun. I just want to enjoy a good movie, man.

It's awesome until the end which is ridiculous and so anti climatic

For proper certification please pay the necessary annual certification fees. I will get in touch with you for my bank data so you can be processed and we can send you a fan certificate "Akira Kurosawa, 2023". Please note certificates expire annually and must be renewed.

Don't claim to be a fan without proper certification to prove validity!

Your friendly fan certification service.

edit: Just realized, please provide proof you watched 24 of his movies and 4 repeat viewings each following year.

I love Yellowstone. Whole family does. And I actually dislike Kevin Costner quite a bit. He isn't what makes that show for me. It's everyone else and everything else around him to me. Now that being said. The writing has become abysmal starting at season 4 and especially this past season. 5.1. It's season 5. And the un filmed year later episodes season 6. This cut in half season stuff some shows do is ridiculous now. Major plot holes, characters not knowing things they showed us they did know, being ignorant of things it's simply not possible they're ignorant of. Etc. It's like episodes started being written with writers not knowing the continuity of the story thus far. It's weird, and very bad. And yes, Beth is a love her or hate her character. She doesn't grow but dammit is her and her nasty over the top outbursts fun to see.

But there's something almost hypnotic about the culture shown. The cowboy stuff. The stuff that people complain about oddly enough. The 'nothing happening' stuff. They could have a whole show about just the bunkhouse cowboys and their shenanigans and it would be great imho. It's not hokey old timey stuff like Gunsmoke and Bonanza. It's weird but it's like this culture, these landscapes have never been shown in our modern HD visuals outside of nature shows until now. Then these beautiful landscapes and cowboy life is mixed with the mafioso style foul mouthed violent story.

The country music on the show. I mean it's there. For reasons that are essentially that all the local rock radio stations here either shut down or changed content to modern whatever passes as rock is rock. And my old fashioned ass still listens to the radio in the car. It was a choice of moving to the country stations, ear bleeding inducing political AM talk radio, or nothing in the car. Well I landed on country. I can't believe it. I was never a fan. And god help me I kinda like it. But, it isn't the music I hear on Yellowstone. The radio stuff is definitely more pop influenced where the Yellowstone stuff is more what I always recognized as country sounding. But I'm no expert on that subject.

People like the show. If you don’t like it, you don’t have to watch it.

I tried to get through the first one and gave up with about 15 minutes left. Even after the hour + investment, I just didn’t care how it ended. Are the sequels supposed to be any better?

They like bad dialogue?

lol, John Wick was great action because it was solely thought up by stunt coordinators.

The world building of it is laughable and only barely there to keep churning out sequels. It was never the point.

What's next? Fast & Furious revolutionized character drama?

Yes, fans may accept the cast or crew. It is a personal choice.

I tried so hard to like yellowstone, love kevin costner in some other things. But after getting mid way through season 2 i dont think i can do it anymore. Feels like nothing happens and i find most of the characters annoying. Especially beth dutton.

Yes, gone are the days of The Good, the Bad and the Ugly era. It seems fresh to fans.

Because it's cowboys. Cowboys are pretty cool. I personally find the show 'not great' but AFAIK we really haven't had a western cowboy drama since forever, so it's new
