Get to the first award in a moment but
before I do let's look @ the first nomination for best picture
watched for the week of C. 16 films were viewed so I went on a bit
of a bender compared to last week but surprisingly no hangovers.
Cutting them down to the top 6.
From 1972 Michael Winner's Chato's Land
Chato kills a US marshal in self
defence & the white folks don't take too kindly to that. The
only good Indian is a dead Indian so Captain Quincey Whitmore &
his posse are in pursuit through the barren waste land hunting down
the Apache. Goddamn fools as they are no match for Chato as he is
leading them to their own demise. Who is really hunting who as Chato
must kill to survive.
Time to serve up our first award of A
Life of Influence Under The Influence – The 40
Through the years of endless film
watching there are actors that I have fallen in love w/ & will
watch just about anything they are in. That's a fair sized list but
of those about 6 I would classify as the baddest mother-fuckers of
them all.
Almost @ the top of that list is
Charles Bronson
As a teenager a friend of mine & I
used to scour the video store looking for titles that we wanted to
see & once we played a game called 'try to find a movie w/
Charles Bronson on the cover where he's not holding a gun'. Even
this weeks nomination for best picture Chato's Land he's carrying a
gun on the poster.
To be fair to Bronson it wasn't always
like that & probably came to fruition after Death Wish. After he
started blowing away punks audiences knew what they want to see from
Bronson & he almost always gave them what they want well into his
70s. Personally there is no one I enjoy watching shoot a gun more.
That's probably why I love Death Wish 3 so much..shoot those mother-fuckin creeps!
Bronson more then deserves The 40
because he is so richly loved by me. Whenever I am down all I have
to do is pop in one of his films & my day is full of blood soaked
sunshine. I miss him greatly & often think God is the coldest
mother-fucker of them all if he could take Charles Bronson from us.
More nominations for best picture &
more cracking of the 6 pack to come.
Gonna grab another one to twist the cap
off of.
..Be back after this
