Utah Bob #35998 Posted May 28, 2022 Posted May 28, 2022 Scrolling the channels after the ballgame was rained out and…. Refilled my glass and settled down in the recliner!
Dirty Dan Dawkins Posted May 28, 2022 Posted May 28, 2022 Is he smoking a joint? Was this one of those Reefer Madness sort of movies, only aimed at new recruits?

Mezcal Charlie Posted May 28, 2022 Posted May 28, 2022 On the Gregory Peck theme: The Gunfighter. Slow and building with great supporting cast. Makes me stop what I’m doing!

Watching Casablanca last night, one thing I really noticed: the HEAVY tobacco smoking. This was how it was in that time period, and why so many of them died from cancer.

Trailrider #896 Posted May 28, 2022 Posted May 28, 2022 4 hours ago, Dirty Dan Dawkins said: I have not. If you are into classic WWII flying stories, especially about 8th AF, you must watch this one! Another, absolute MUST, is "Strategic Air Command" with Jimmy Stewart. Beautiful photography! (B-36 and B-47) And June Allyson ain't bad either. If you are into Strategic Air Command stuff, "A Gathering of Eagles", starring Rock Hudson (yeah, is about a B-52 outfit that flunks its Operational Readiness Inspection (ORI) and has a new commander take over and kick butts! This thing is almost straight out of SAC Manual 35-99! I wasn't in bombers, but I do know about ORI's! Those things used to cause more deaths among wing CO's than enemy action! (Col. John Carrol, CO, 341 Strategic Missile Wing, Malmstrom AFB, MT,, 1966. RIP after his third heart attack! )

Okie Sawbones, SASS #77381 Posted May 29, 2022 Posted May 29, 2022 Yep, he is smoking a roach. After all, the title is Twelve O'Clock High.
Rye Miles #13621 Posted May 29, 2022 Posted May 29, 2022 Tombstone is another one, I have the dvd but if it comes on I'll watch it!

I think the point of of his not carrying is that the world of the Wild West/gunfighters is passing and Ringo is an anachronism. His way is dying, foreshadowing his own end.

I don’t buy it, the age of the gunfighter ending never stopped sheriffs, Marshals, Rangers and police from not carrying a gun. Pure Hollywood nonsense! How about the smart aleck that came after Ringo or the three guys after him. The Sheriff gives his deputy a shotgun to go protect Ringo but he didn’t carry! Crazy!

He assumed he was bullet proof.
Alpo Posted May 29, 2022 Posted May 29, 2022 Why is everyone saying that he was unarmed? Uncle Charlie might not have been wearing a belt gun, but who's to say there's not a shoulder holster under that frock coat? Jimmy wore one.

LawMan Mark, SASS #57095L Posted May 31, 2022 Posted May 31, 2022 Watched it again last night. Also like the 2004 remake, but prefer the original.
