Jeff Bridges- The Old Man

444 Magnum · Jun 18, 2022

Did anyone catch the first two episodes? It seems to be well written, directed, and acted. It is leading and provocative. I am intrigued.
At 72, Jeff Bridges is appropriate for the role and does his usual fine job of acting.
I won't say much about the plot for those of you who have yet to see it.
One observation however, all I hear him say to his canine's is a one word command..."dog"...is this reminiscent of John Wayne in Hondo and Big Jake or is it my imagination?

I have the first two episodes on the DVR (no spoilers please) but looking forward to watching it. He was very good in Hell or High Water. Another old man movie.

To the point of dog commands. As a K9 handler I had my dog Heineken trained to attack with a simple knee to his shoulder. Surprised a lot a “tough” guys when a dog sitting quietly by my side suddenly when bad ***. Of course he was on leash, but the element of surprise was alway great. When they freaked out I just said “ I guess he doesn’t like your attitude”.

I have not seen it yet. I consider Jeff an "actor's actor".

He's got range for days.

I also have it recorded, but haven't watched yet. Maybe in the next day or two. But just what I've seen in the commercials had me go ahead and set the DVR to record it weekly. Looks good.

It is excellent.

We watched it on the FX channel. We're looking forward to the next episode.

Watched the first episode last night. Enjoyed much more than I anticipated.

Saw the first two episodes and they were great. Can't wait for the remainder.

Thanks for the information. I will record the first 2, and see how I like it.

Never much cared for Him. Always seemed like He was trying to upstage John Wayne. Guess I'll watch some and see if I change My mind.

I don't see it. Nor do I see the Duke playing Lebowski.

Of course, that's just like my opinion, man.

Jeff made a movie in the mid 1970's in Livingston MT and fell in love with a local girl. TO the best of my knowledge they are still married. There may be more to him than movies suggest.

Even stayed up late to watch it on FX.

Just finished episode 2. Excellent.

Watched the 1st episode last night. Hope I can find the 2nd episode before the 3rd one shows. It has promise and hope it continues.

For quite some time I've had "issues" with long drawn out fight scenes. Being in the same age bracket as Mr. Bridges, stamina becomes a big factor. He did do right well in depicting how one would feel the next day. Otherwise, it's being recorded.

When my Shepard proceeds me across the rainbow bridge, I just might get a Rotweiller.

I think it's a most entertaining show!

I like his 2 puppies.

Lithgow is no slouch either.

Grayfox · Jun 20, 2022

I got around to watching the first 2 episodes today. They included a couple minutes of previews of coming episodes. Oh yeah, I'm hooked.
