“I don’t tolerate fake accents”

Me neither. I grew up in Boston and some of the Boston accents I’ve heard are so bad it’s hard to believe. I’ve turned off shows because of it.

I think it’s amazingly compelling, from acting to sense of place. Surprised it’s so good. The writers have some southern soul.

I think the FR crowd gets weirder and weirder every year.

You're definitely right about that. Sad, isn't it?

*sigh*

Pawn Stars. The old man is a hoot, but I love Chumley (sounds like the name of shark bait). He’s the “Baby Huey” of the pawn shops.

Barry Weiss. That’s who I watch for on “Storage Wars”. He’s extremely funny and you never know what he is going to dress up in or drive in.

“Of all the storage units I’ve ever been in, this is one of them”.

If you remember what he said to the wife of the auctioneer, you’ll understand how sharp he is (about diving into ### for cover).

Jerrold’s wife is a hoot. She’s really very funny in a subtle kind of way, and cute as a June bug.

Dave Hester: You kinda of hope that a big box will fall on him when he’s being extremely nasty.

Well, it certainly holding our interest. I am surprised Mrs. Pharmboy likes it so much.

I took the personality test and yep, I’m a McCoy.

So far, so good. Costner is really doing a great job. Think I have more respect for him as an actor.

A very good movie and surprising that it is sticking so close to the real history. That was a rough part of the country. It still is. The folks there will tolerate a visitor for a day or so, but beyond that, you are not “from” there, and thus the subject of suspicion. Great place to go see the history though.

I have family called Chumley LOL

In real life I think he is a partial owner of the store.

Gotta love Chum for his fearlessness and good heart.

I like the entire crew.

Most rural areas, you have to prove yourself. Now in my old area (North Michigan), you won't be driven out, but you got to make it through a couple of winters to really be "one of us".

Hatfield family. Devil Anse is second from left behind the kids. See how close the costuming in the movie is to the real thing? Those were people you didn't poke.

As usual, the posters on Free Republic make me roll my eyes. I think the FR crowd gets weirder and weirder every year.

Heckfire, I've been that way all my life.

1. Grown adults saying they can't handle all that violence on TV

That does not apply to me.

2. I'd rather read a history book than watch a movie

That does apply to me.

3. I don't have cable (or don't have a TV.)

That does apply to me.

Don't even mind the fact that they're posting on a thread that apparently has no interest to them.

I went down to the river because the bait camp has cable and I thought they might be watching it but they were watching something else instead. So I came home and got back on FR hoping for some commentary but all I got was inane posts such as yours.

See y'all tomorrow.

Yes, it really was not that long ago. Time really goes by so fast.

Devil Anse & Randle McCoy. Kevin Kostner really does look like Devil anse, but the guy playing Randle does not look like him.

This is an interesting movie about a time in our history were the folks actually had to take care of their problems on their own.

I totally agree. But for some reason, whenever there is a post about a TV show or a movie, the "I haven't seen a movie or television since 1973" crowd on Free Republic always wants to chime in.
