Men Of Violence: Mel Gibson To Direct A Remake Of THE WILD BUNCH
We all know how this one ends.
We all know how this one ends.
It's a Sam Peckinpah shoot out!
Honor this month's Badass Hall of Fame inductee with a screening of THE WILD BUNCH.
An homage to one of the greatest American directors, and the man who changed forever the way movies approach action.
Can’t they just leave Sam Peckinpah alone?
It’s a remakepalooza out there these days. Warner Bros and Will Smith are digging up graves that were maybe better left alone.
If there were to be a patron saint of badasses, it would be Warren Oates. Not because he was particularly tough, although he could - at times - hold his own. Not because he was all that handsome, although he had a certain roguish charm to his smile. What made Warren Oates so badass was the way that he simply didn’t give a shit what people thought. Oates lived his own way - hard and rough, leading to his untimely early death - and worked his own way, staying out of the spotlight. There was a period in the early 70s when Oates - almost always relegated to supporting roles from which he handily stole entire films - was the best actor working in Hollywood.
