Well just read that Hollywood is going to make a remake of…Sacrilege:

The Wild Bunch

The director Mel Gibson

Yes, we know:

You know with any other director I’d roll my eyes, but with what Gibson showed us when he directed Hacksaw Ridge I think a Wild Bunch remake could be pretty alright.

I love Hacksaw Ridge, have it on blu-ray. If you haven’t, you should check out the HBO series The Pacific.

Just noticed now, these not easy to follow the news and to keep things on track.

Actually I like Gibson as a director, there are some parellelism with Clint Eastwood, Apocalypto is a very good movie, even Get the Gringo than he only write the script was pretty much OK.

But the Wild Bunch

Was there ever such a thing as spaghetti/euro western TV shows back in the original 60s/70s era?

None that I know of, but the American series, ‘The Men From Shiloh’, did have a great theme tune from Ennio Morricone, with a credit sequence that really has a SW style … but then the balloon bursts when the pompous Stewart Granger appears :crazy_face:

Simply his manner, just as the word is defined.

Inspired by the fact that Sebastian found me on Facebook and the fact that I’m not much of a regular on forums these days I decided to post a link to my FB page here (beacause I go by a fake name there). So if anyone wants to contact me there or just add me - feel free to do so here .

Cheers everyone :slight_smile:

or via forum private message, why let zuckerberg in on all the dirty talk

Well, I sent friend request to Sebastian many times with no response.
