New Bonnie & Clyde Movie Coming Up

[Wyatt Burp]

I'm rereading the Jeff Guinn B&C book "Going Down Together" and will check this TV move out. but it really seems very stylish and glossy in the previews. Maybe HD modernizes it too much, too. But these two losers who did dress pretty nice, camped out and basically lived in their car. Relatives and their kidnap victims said there was nothing glamorous about them in their constant traveling. If they make Frank Hamer look like an idiot like the 1967 movie did I'll turn it off. but William Hurt looks grizzled enough and appears to have the right attitude in the couple scenes I've seen. There appears to be lots of cool guns of the era in action, too which looks pretty good.

My DVR is already set. Hope the previews aren't the best parts.

 

[sophie]

Thanks for the heads up on this movie. I will check it out.

I like old cars, old guns and watching period shows and movies. I've got my DVR set.

Does Bonnie get nekked in it?

 

[wbraswell]

I'm already disappointed. I noticed them using a Thompson is the ads.

I saw Thompsons and felt the same thing. But there's a couple BARs and if there isn't at least one Remington Model 8 in it I'll shoot my TV....with my Remington Model 81.

I can't click away from the trailers fast enough. Just dreadful and as annoying as heck...

Hope nobody posts up spoilers!

The one with Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway was always one of my favorites. I've always realized it was far from being true to the facts though.

From the pictures I've seen of Bonnie, she was not too attractive. The movies all make her out to be a fox.
In the '67 movie they appeared to be carrying 1917 S&W revolvers. That sounds close to correct, although I have read when they searched the car they kilt them in they had a few 1911 Colts and a .32 ACP pistol, as well as a BAR and a few shotguns.

I got to see the car about 40 years ago. Dang there were a lot of bullet holes in it!

What it boils down to is a movie about two stylish homeless thugs that rob banks and kill people, rather than having sex.

Should make millions.

Well, yeah. Who wants to watch ugly women on the tube?

Are you trying to tell me the ship sinks? Oh, man...now I'm not even going to watch it. Why let me know? Next you'll tell me it's old news...

 

[PA Reb]

From what I've seen advertised, it looks like another attempt by Hollywood to glamorize a group of murderous thugs by using handsome actors, beautiful women and sex as bait. I'll probably end up watching it but you know what they say about first impressions!

 

[S. Hammer]

Well, yeah. Who wants to watch ugly women on the tube?

Then how do you explain Oprah and Rosie O'Donnel?

I'm wondering why it is scheduled to air on the History Channel, A&E, and Lifetime simultaneously? I'll check it out, but the vibes I get tell me I probably will not watch it through. For those of you wondering it is scheduled as two parts. Part 1 Sunday 9:00 to 11:00 PM (EST) and Part 2 during the same time frame on Monday, on those three networks. Following each showing is a repeat showing. When I was a kid there were only three networks.

You just had to go there, didn't you. And how many males do you think watch them?
And, notice that they don't have prime time shows.

ABC, NBC, and CBS. Oh, and a boring PBS. And opposed to the three million channels I have now, I always found stuff to watch back then.
When I was around eleven years old me and my friends saw Bonnie and Clyde at the show about four times. I thought it was great, especially the ending.
