  McQ 1974

  Watched 11 Jan 2025

  I love how slow this is. Most scenes are the Duke walking into a room to sit down and talk to someone, sometimes eat. Characters complain about the cost of living, Women’s Lib, politics. There are 3 assassinations (plus 1 attempt) in the opening and my heart rate never got above 60 bpm.

  John Wayne sports Charlie Rich hair. Good to see Diana Muldar from Star Trek.

  George & Tammy 2022

  Pretty bold to have Walton Goggins in a George Jones show not playing George Jones. It’s like making a Bobby Darin biopic and casting Miles Teller as Wayne Newton!

  Speedway 1968

  Watched 13 Feb 2022

  Elvis’ Stroker Ace except there’s a musical number in an IRS office. Also Nancy Sinatra sings a Lee Hazelwood song at Jack Rabbit Slim’s. Also Elvis inexplicably takes in five hotdog-stealing children.
