I am waiting for Monk and Psych to come on, so I am watching one called Hard Target, which is just sooo stupid it hurts. The hero person whoever, just put a sleeping rattlesnake in a tree as a trap, and it jumped down on some bad dude and bit him. Oh, hurry up Monk and come on!!! Please.

What bugs me the worst are those movies that put out all kinds of publicity about the pains they went to for historical accuracy and are anything but.

BONNIE AND CLYDE

That film did indeed set up some things realistically but the Barrow’s favorite BARs and sawed-off auto-loading shotguns were absent. The real crime was what they did to Frank Hamer.

Hamer killed dozens of criminals in real life and was a dedicated and clever tracker. Clyde never took him prisoner and Hamer’s posse were all old-style lawmen who knew what they were doing firing Winchester lever guns, Remington cal35 semis, a BAR, and two shotguns.

Clyde was more interesting in real life and had a way with tough guy words as witnessed by his letters.
