Welcome to Our Hoosier Board!

Most of the posters here have been around for nearly a decade now. You'll find their knowledge and insight to be second to none. We have a really strong community and value everyone's opinions.

Feel free to jump into any thread and voice your opinion with conviction. We love heated debates and even some fanbase ribbing from time to time. We pride ourselves on the lack of moderation needed to make this board successful.

Please remember that we have been around many years and have an astute ability to tell the difference between an immature, childish, trash-talking troll and a passionate fan voicing his or her opinion. It is at the discretion of Jazen and myself whether any moderating actions should be taken at any given time. It's a very, very rare thing. In other words, no worries....you'll be fine!

Cheers,
sirbrianwilson

And Will Ferrell/Steve Carrell together are non-stop laughter.

I actually think the whole cast of Anchorman is great. Paul Rudd is underappreciated, and I can't remember the guy's name that played Champ, but he is good too. I loved him as the gun lobbyist in "Thank You For Smoking"

Definitely one of the funnier movies of the past 5 years or whenever it came out. It is just chalk full of one-liners that are absolutely perfect to use when out in public.
“He’s always been a guy — maybe to a fault — he would always try to do what I said. That seems like something simple in coaching, but those are the guys I hang my hat on. We’ve had some guys in our program, we had a couple guys that felt I had a bias towards E’Twaun Moore. And they were right — I do have a bias towards E’Twaun Moore. I like guys that go to class, that are academic All-Americans, that come early, that stay late, that love the game of basketball. I am biased towards those guys. And I’m biased towards Rob Hummel. But I’m also biased towards their habits, their work ethic, and how they carry themselves."

You guys that like Westerns, have any of you seen Open Range with Duvall, Costner, and Bening?

In the movie lies a scene more hardcore, chilling than Eastwoods ending in Unforgiven.

I've seen it. Very good movie. Not a shoot em up, gunfight every 5 minutes type of western, but still very good.

The movie actually manages to make Kevin Costner look like a badass. The beggining of the big gunfight scene where he walks up, asks the dude if he is the one that killed his friend, then casually shoots him in the head. Awesome.

Thats exactly the scene I'm talking about. It's hard to put in words, the feeling I got the first time I saw it. It just comes out of nowhere.

Still thinking about my Top 10 movies, but if I had to vote for best Cowboy movie, 3:10 To Yuma would have to be tops.  Anyone else see this one?

...just saw it about a month ago and i agree...definitely one of the best westerns i've ever seen... :cheers:

The Good the Bad and the Ugly will always be the best in my book with perhaps the best climax of any movie. The rest of the spaghetti westerns and also High Plains Drifter. 3:10 to Yuma though is one of the best, if not the best current western I've seen and I would definitely put it high on the list. Did you ever see The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada (2005) I think you would like it.

I'd put Hoosiers in my top ten list, but since I was in it, that would be bragging. :P

One of my favorites is Tombstone. Val Kilmer was excellent as Doc Holiday. I also like Field of Dreams and Eight Men Out because they have baseball as the theme. I will have to put some thought into an actual top 10, and maybe a Steven Segal movie may be on it, but I am not sure. Good choices that everyone has though.

Thats exactly the scene I'm talking about. It's hard to put in words, the feeling I got the first time I saw it. It just comes out of nowhere.

I know exactly what you mean, you would expect since the bad guy is supposed to be some badass hired gun that there would be a protrated gunfight that would end with a showdown between hom and Costner. But no, there is no crap talking, no stare down, no duel; just a question, then a shot to the head. The movie is worth watching to the see that scene I think.

Kind of like the boom-boom-boom end of The Departed. Some people didn't care for it, but to me the sequencing was important because the first shooting was an incredible surprise. Before you're over the shock of it, Damon's partner and Damon are dead.

I think Flame mentioned The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford; props to him for mentioning it. Casey Affleck is excellent as the man who wants to be Jesse James and ultimately ends up killing him.

I don't know if anyone has mentioned The Salton Sea, but it's another great flick. Val Kilmer plays a man who becomes a meth addict in order to go underground to find the dealers that murdered his wife. Vincent D'Onfronio plays a sadistic dealer who has snorted away his own nose.

Great scene here when Kilmer first meets D'Onfronio:

Another scene where Kujo tells of his plans to make some money to buy more meth. Make sure to watch all the way through.

...the salton sea has always been on my list of movies to watch but just, somehow, kept getting pushed back...you just moved it back to the front...it will be viewed on my laptop this memorial day weekend as i sit bored as hell and trying to avoid my inlaws as we stay with them...

...thanks brum!!!... :cheers:
