My favorite John Ford film. My favorite John Wayne performance. My favorite Jimmy Stewart performance. On any given day this is one of my ten favorite films, sometimes even rising into the top 5 depending on my mood. Well done.
At least we aren't discussing the finer points of communism and why antifa flags should be allowed at matches here
For the new stadium...can we copy that bar that Nationwide has where it's accessible off the street and into the arena? General public during the day with regular bar prices. Premium seat holders only during the match with stadium prices. Close it in the 75th minute or whatever, but as soon as the final whistle blows, re-open it to the general public with bar prices. Fenway Park has a similar patio bar that closes at the regular time during games, but as soon as the final out is made, it re-opens and stays open late.
You posted an article about journalists asking soft questions and not standing up to owners in the stadium thread. The stadium aspects were minimized and were covering what everyone here was aware of. So, please post in the "journalists have no guts" thread.
In a low voice so it stays under the radar. I was addressing Hangs' "it's about the stadium so there was no problem with posting the link here while I then turn around and discuss the lack of courage of local journalists to ask tough questions". I just came back after a very long absence and am slowly getting on the "annoyed by Hangs trolling and perpetual negativity" wagon.
Funny, it seems like posting a link to a story about delays in the new stadium and they media's lack of coverage of that is a lot more relevant than the interminable Swensons discussions that pop up in multiple threads.
Still whispering, I realize, but some stupid modface seemed to think my final retort to that very quoted post needed removing, but not that quoted post, even though it wasn't more unique than the previous ones and again trying to make me the fool for avoiding the issue that I wasn't discussing. Ok, good talk. Crap there's a mod. I gotta go. See ya.
Summer soccer and music festival(s). Maybe 3 or 4 times during the summer. Season ticket get's free admission to the event. Event ticket gets you free admission to the game(s). Crew U23 team plays Friday night, Cleveland Crew II plays Saturday and The Crew plays Sunday. Concerts before and/or after around the Arena district.
1) If I am thinking of the same post about where you should post, then laugh. That post was backwards a day or two ago, and I was growing too tired to point it out. 2) While we are having a complimentary circle jerk in here, @Draghignazzo, I understood and agreed with your repeated (due to not understanding, not be you) points throughout the last few pages. 1) I like the Cleveland name. 2) Not a fan of Sunday games.
Stagecoach is better. And The Searchers can't be topped. For just The Duke, I'm pretty much alone in loving Sons of Katie Elder(it may partly be the fun of watching Dean Martin swan through the movie obviously not giving a crap but still charming your socks off) but The Shootist is utterly perfect. And True Grit is wildly underrated, mostly because of the cloying Kim Darby, but there's no better line that sums up Wayne than "Fill your hands you son of a bitch"
Each great in their own right. And if we are talking Ford, while not a Western, How Green Was My Valley needs some recognition here as well. If we are talking The Duke, while not Ford, how many times have I enjoyed the hell out of Rio Bravo, upwards of 20 at least.
I would disagree on both. Stagecoach is certainly fantastic but I think its camera movement/placement comes across as clunky now. The Searchers is fantastic in every way, but, in all honesty, She Wore a Yellow Ribbon is my favorite of Ford's films. Wayne's portrayal of an aging cavalry officer, world-weary and nearing retirement, is to me his best performance. TMWSLV suffers from the production limits of being shot on a soundstage, but in a way that channels the focus to the perennial Ford theme of the bittersweet results of the West being civilized. It really pares away everything extraneous and concentrates on that theme with great effect.
The only strike anyone could have against Rio Bravo is that it allegedly is one of Quentin Tarantino's biggest influences.
Well, that and it features Ricky Nelson, who couldn't act to save his life but they were trying to draw some younger fans who just wanted him to sing Travelin Man. Ugh.
