Yeah, but its kind of the standard biased version. Lots of evidence that the Earps weren't really the good guys in the whole thing.

I like that Ike didn’t die in the movie. It’s kind of fitting with how big of a coward he is. He was so pathetic that his death isn’t a part of the story.

With all due respect, you can take that evidence and shove it up ya bum. No offense.

Now you know what Sansa meant when she said "the worst ones always live." Ike is a perfect example of the kind of sniveling piece of shite who always survives a world war, disaster, etc.


True

Holy shite, it just now clicked to me that Ike was played by Stephen Lang.


I just realized Yondu/Mearl was McMasters. Never realized.

Me too, for all the shite he pulled, he throws his sash on the ground and they just let him ride away. Im sure he was still an a-hole after... which is why someone else killed him.

Also, Jason Priestly's character was unnecessary



Speaking of, was Curly Bill gay in the movie?

Always wondered that because when Jason Priestly’s Billy character walked into the Bird Cage theater, dudes were grabbing at his arse and calling him either “sissy boy” or “sister boy”

Curly Bill immediately came to his rescue and told everyone to leave him alone. He then called him over to sit next to him and he proceeded to put his arm around him throughout the show.

He even publicly declared that given the chance he would “drill the devil in the arse”

Yes I knew that . I just thought it was loosely based with some made up characters.

Sure, but not usually to the extent of killing someone that doesn't actually die, when you are for the most part retelling an actual story.


People on here complain all the time about how Deadwood ended and I have to remind them, it couldn't have ended any other way since Hearst was a real person and didn't die in Deadwood.

That’s one of the best movie quotes in history.

I can’t find supporting evidence at this time but I have heard claims it was true.

As far as Jason Priestly’s character, that was probably an intentional character assassination of Billy Breckenridge. Breckenridge, who was Sheriff Behan’s deputy, had written a book about Tombstone that was unflattering about Wyatt, which Wyatt and his wife protested until their deaths in the 1920s.

Me, too. Here are other things in movies that bothered me:

The Spartans losing the battle of Thermopylae at the end of 300. It would have been much better, had they won.

Michael Oher should have decided to go to a different school at the end of The Blindside.

The guy having to cut his own arm off in 127, was a little too much for my taste.

Did they really have to make Sean Penn's character gay in Milk?




Actually...I guess that was more sardonic than sarcastic...but it's hard to find a sardonic gif.


ETA...dagnabbit...just realized that was my 10,000th post and I wasted it on this crap.

It was last weekend before I realized the bitch-slapped dragged-out-by-the-ear poker player liked French-fried tators and mustard.

Mmmmm-hmmmm.

I bet you’re the kind of guy that thinks Shakespeare didn’t really write all of his plays either.
