I know a lot of people liked this but I think it is for all the wrong reasons. It is a slice of small town, redneck America sold as unique and different because it was shot in B&W. I was surrounded by a lot older people who giggled and tittered at almost everything which did not even a give me a winkle of a smile. There is talk of Bruce Dern but all he did was stagger around and say a few lines every now and then. There was nothing special about the cast except for Keach playing the town blowhard bully. I think the fact it was shot in B&W somehow tricked people into thinking this was more real than not. It was like the Coen's with a terminal hangover.

Sounds like a variation on "The Last Picture Show" style of mood setting. - free.ranger 22:00:28 01/21/14 (1)

Golden wheat fields, blue skies. "Last Picture Show" was Texas, dry area. More fitting for B&W. nt - tinear 07:22:41 01/22/14 (0)

A bunch of stereotypes giving Wilford Brimley impersonations. One was enough… nt - tinear 12:07:13 01/21/14 (1)
