We drove this road to Lake Tahoe last summer with our friends who live in Reno. Beautifully scenic but must be a nightmare after a big winter snowfall.

It's from an HTF SoCal meet in 1997(?) organized by Ron Epstein at Warner Bros. Studios. It was a great event and Warner's generously rolled out the red carpet for the HTF attendees.

Still wearing it!

If Mel Gibson casts Peter Dinklage as Pike Bishop it would be worth watching...

Oh gawd... I just finished reading the "The Wild Bunch: Sam Peckinpah, a Revolution in Hollywood, and the Making of a Legendary Film" book, and can't imagine how a remake could possibly be a good idea. The actors Peckinpah picked (both American & Mexican) were the "Wild Bunch". These kind of...

Having read the book this movie was based on, I can say it accurately reflects the book's events and timeline. As far as the "true tale"; since it's told by those who were actually there, yeah I'd say it's true. Unless one prefers to believe the armchair pundits thousands of miles away.

Ditto. Seems to follow the current trend of rewriting history to fit one's agenda http://www.historyvshollywood.com/reelfaces/vice/

I can't believe with all the "shite" out there on bluray and even UHD, this isn't even available on DVD yet :(.

I believe their horses stepped in prairie dog holes as they were charging through a "dogtown".

Watched it last night. Beautifully rendered on a 4K display. Just another reminder why the Coen Bros. are one of a kind.

6th season renewal is great news and highly deserved! Kudos to one of our favorite Amazon shows.

Interesting stuff. No mention of the odd effects used in several scenes in the 2 episodes I watched where a subject's face was in focus but everything else (even close proximity areas like an arm or clothing) was misfocused into an ugly bokeh. Reminded me of effects from the 60's Outer Limits TV...

Watched the first two episodes and I'm done. Bizarre, artsy focus effects, and screen matting quickly became annoying. My wife may stay with it (probably for Julia Roberts) but I found the show pretentious and boring. Switched to the The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel and now I'm hooked.

Will definitely be picking this one up as it's one of my favorites. I saw this at the theater when it first screened in 78' and was shocked to recognize most of the locations were within a mile of my apartment in North Alhambra. Although I've long since moved out of the area, I've driven by them...

Just watched it and was amazed at the restoration quality. Far better then when I saw at the theater in 79'. Coming on the heels of Halloween it was great time for horror fans. And recognizing numerous scenes using nearby locations only added to its appeal for me.
