"Gunsmoke" (1955) - Review & Commentary

[Mister Obvious]

S14 E26 - "Exodus 21:22"

This is the season finale.

0:52 I always thought "Reardon" was a strange last name. And isn't putting "murdered" on somebody's tombstone kinda... I dunno, negative?? I feel like it's just uncalled for. Like write their story somewhere else man.

0:58 it's a time reference. The death date on her presumably fresh gravemarker reads 1874. EIGHTEEN SEVENTY FUCKING FOUUUUURRRRR. In a season 9 episode showing a tombstone, it was 1878... https://www.sectual.com/thread-18541-pos...#pid155804

I'ma just say this...

I honest to God can't imagine any reason why they need to be jumping around with the dates like this. Didn't they write down all the dates they ever referenced SOMEWHERE and CONSULT IT when they were gonna make another episode referencing a date/year???????

It's whatever, but I just don't get it. I seriously just don't get it. Even if the TV show was following along with the radio show's scripts sometimes, there is no excuse for being all over the place with the dates.

If you're a creator of ANY type of media... assume that it's gonna last for 100 years, that people are gonna be zooming in on every detail. Just assume it. And do it with serious attention to details like this. Maybe it's a lot harder than I imagine it is. I dunno. But I'm just saying.

2:07 oh man, this guy's getting ready to fuck some people up.

3:45 but in the scene at the grave, it was snowing.

8:50 "It don't blizzard in Kansas summer." Okay so I guess he's saying... the blizzard is what caused them to get stuck wherever they killed that lady. And I guess the husband has been tracking them ever since. So I guess we're to assume that it's now 1875?? So she died in 1874, they've been tracked ever since, and now it's summer 1875. Hopefully they'll verify/explain this.

21:28 I notice a lot of cool flyers, signs, posters, etc. hanging up all around town in this episode.

28:46 so the guy says they've been running for 7 months. That means it's either 1874 or 1875. She may have died at the very beginning of 1874 while it was still winter, and now it may be July or August of 1874. There's no way to know and I'm sure they're not gonna clear it up any more than this.

31:40 "Early blizzard," so I guess that would mean maybe sometime in late 1874. You wouldn't consider a blizzard "early" in north Montana if it was January. I think it's supposed to be 1875.

34:34 but that's the Old Testament bro, so technically like nah, you don't.

39:40 that damn window though... you'd think Doc, the Marshal, etc. would wise the fuck up and get a windowless room for high profile cases. Lmao, just dumb.

42:20 TBH this guy is kind of a dumbass. I don't really care about him.

50:10 how the hell would they even get up to northern Montana from Dodge anyway, lol.

[Mister Obvious]

S15 E1 - "The Devil's Outpost"

James Arness lookin' sexy as fuck on the title graphics for this disc... https://i.imgur.com/ElRkizg.png

0:05 new opening theme song, but seems like the same footage as before. The sounds of the riding and even when he touches his gun are better in this one though.

Very few seasons left. Wouldn't it be fucked up if I just stopped watching right here? Lmfaolololol.

3:38 new music for the second opening theme/credits... I suspect Newly will be added this season.

3:52 yup, there he is, good ol' Buck Taylor... https://i.imgur.com/nyrVrjP.png You gotta admit, he has a great name. As far as I know, he and Roger Ewing are the only main cast members still living today. Ewing is 80, Buck Taylor is 84. Sigh.

4:10 I guess Jonathan Goldsmith is back to play yet another unlikable asshole... lol.

4:20 wow, you know shit's about to get ugly when a dude wastes the rest of a perfectly good bottle of whiskey, lmao.

10:08 Robert Lansing, black hair, blonde eyebrows, and... https://i.imgur.com/3UegbOn.jpg Bond villain?! Lol. Nope, it's him as "Gary Seven" on the original Star Trek.

12:20 "Now there's a man you can write home about!" Oh, I have... *nod* https://imgur.com/a/BQeNIgk

18:55 telegraphs always getting intercepted... lame.

26:35 Newly is the only main character who gets to make out with anybody.

27:46 I'm placing a bet that this is the only guy who's gonna live. He'll either be the first one down or the last one standing.

43:36 Newly looks like a midget in the Marshal's coat, roflroflrofl!!!!!!!

50:15 "You've probably been a'doin' it all your life, just readin' wrong writin' and not even knowin' it!"

50:30 hella '70s closing theme song, but I approve.

[Mister Obvious]

TVLand just happens to be airing the very episodes I've been watching recently...

https://i.imgur.com/sxoZNz9.png

That last one I just reviewed is being shown on the 17th...

[Mister Obvious]

S15 E2 - "Stryker"

2:40 I thought it was pretty cool how they put the episode title in the vertical position.

5:00 "Just like your mother's... fake blonde, but not too offensive."

8:30 oh damn, he was a Marshal... https://i.imgur.com/w3Yp3TA.png

11:55 is this the first verbal reference to Blackjack on the show?? I think it is. They finally have "21" down at the Long Branch apparently. No more of that dumb faro, no more poker or roulette!!!!!!!! BLACKJACK OR DIE!!!!!!!!!!!!

17:32 ol' squinty eyes is fucked in Dodge now.

26:48 damn that's a good looking plate of food... it's like a whole platter.

30:38 that was a pretty shot of the sun through the trees.

30:42 so this headstone gives a death date of 1864, and he was in prison for 15 years, meaning that now it's 1879.

All these screwups with the dates have gotta be on purpose.

33:10 guy better listen to her... for real.

38:56 I can never get over the fact that I've stood only a few feet away from that iconic dress... *heart eyes* I wonder when Amanda Blake stopped getting new dresses for her role. They said it had been "years" since she'd had any new ones by the time she left the show.

39:14 whoa check it out... she's wearing a super thick cross necklace. Looks like maybe garnet.

41:40 I meeeeeeaaaannnnn... that's not what I figured he had planned for her, but okay.

42:10 well, it could have been a lot worse... he went light on her. They're being HELLA dramatic with this.

43:46 "I'm for real, missy." Lol. Honestly, sometimes they say things in this show that are just too new... pretty sure people in the 1960s didn't even say that. Maybe they did though.

[Mister Obvious]

I'm glad they went easy on us with this season 15 premiere and the first few episodes... sometimes they straight nuke that mofo when they could have just set off a sparkler and it'd be all good. Pretty sure we've seen Gunsmoke at its most intense, and I can honestly say I'm grateful for the times when they decide to be gentle.

[Mister Obvious]

Season 14 to 15 felt like a continuation rather than a full on hardcore intense sex attack. I'm sure they've got a few more bouts of intensity up their sleeve yet... I'll try to be ready when it rolls around.

[Mister Obvious]

S15 E3 - "Coreyville"

1:07 damn, it looks like a couple of straight up EVIL women are running this town. Yikes!!! Chick up in the window reminds me of Joan Crawford in "Whatever Happened To Baby Jane?"

3:30 his sister is super pretty... looks like some evil asshole is about to be causing her trouble though.

7:40 I swear James Arness almost cracked up at this guy... I would have too, lmao!

8:00 "I'm declarin' a mistrial." The way he said that was sooooo sexy... my God, his voice is AMAZING. https://i.imgur.com/9k3riz5.png Touch meeeee.

8:22 BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Oh. AGH. My God. This show. The absolute pure and total masculinity is such a blessed reprieve from all the trash in the world.

8:43 why are all the female saloon proprietors redheads though??

10:10 I've got something he can barrel his way through!!!!!!!

11:00 wow, I said she reminded me of Joan Crawford, and she even walks with a limp... Crawford's character was in a wheelchair.

18:12 "Why don't you quit thinking about dying for once and think of your chances for living."

21:40 this saloon lady is charming in her own way... but I can't like her because I know she's gotta be in on it. I think Billy Joe is the one who killed the girl.

23:15 James Arness is the sexiest man who ever lived.

25:00 check out this neato lamp... https://i.imgur.com/DTRarwV.png

31:09 is nobody gonna ask why they'd even have it out for this guy??

32:50 oh so it was him.

33:00 lol, check out this scandalous red lamp... https://i.imgur.com/EgrWFG5.png That's my kinda shit! So fitting for a saloon den of sin! *dreamy sigh*

33:07 the fuck is that supposed to mean, asshole?!

33:15 I'm thinking this guy won't be.

33:40 if that bullet in the door frame went through him, then he must have been shot as he was leaving.

33:43 I'm starting to think maybe she did it. This is turning into a regular who-done-it situation.

34:40 but if he had killed a lady and she knew it, why would she be nice to him at all?

35:20 check it out, it's a standing slot machine... https://i.imgur.com/ZjX7fP8.png

35:26 OMG WTF!?! Is she trolling??

35:39 oh my damn, that was fucked up... this saloon lady must HATE her. Like, HATE hate.

35:48 she can't be too afraid of this Corey lady... no way she would have said that shit if she was.

36:00 lol, there are TWO red lamps!

36:30 oh so SHE did it! Damn, it should have been obvious from the start.

37:11 this guy is WAAAY less likable than Billy Joe. I'd turn him over to the Marshal.

37:40 she really should let him live his own life, the guy's like 40.

This episode is from 1969... the year they landed on the moon. So strange to think about Gunsmoke airing alongside the moon landing, lol. What if it came on right afterward?! Actually, I looked it up and they were on break between March - September. The moon landing was in July. Then again, there were 6 manned missions to the moon, the last one being in 1972. Dunno if they were televised or what was the deal with that though.

40:22 I think that's a dove above the naked(ish) lady in the painting... a reference to the prostitutes AKA "Soiled Doves" of the old west.

41:00 oh wow, plot twist though!

42:18 I know he's a piece of shit, but he's totally gonna die and that makes me sad panda for Flo.

49:27 by far the most '60s-70s music they've ever had on any episode... but it's good, so no points lost.

[Mister Obvious]

I HAVEN'T WATCHED GUNSMOKE IN 10 DAYS AND I MISS FESTUS

[Mister Obvious]

FEEEEEEEESSSTTTUUUUSSSSSSSSSSSSAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAHHUUHHHHUHHHHH

[Mister Obvious]

1:53 fave.

[Mister Obvious]

It stirs the soul.

S15 E4 - "Danny"

0:50 there's no way anybody is sleeping through a ride like that. Maybe if they were exhausted, coupled with the heat... I guess it's possible. But under normal circumstances, no way.

1:18 oh hey man, it's no big deal, just put some Scotch tape on that shit!

1:39 LMAOOOOO.

1:55 oh damn, glasses guy's got some scary cold lookin' eyes! I like his character already.

2:05 he looks kinda familiar, wonder who that is. Frank Marth... https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0551731 Can't say I've ever heard of him, but I definitely dig him.

2:40 took his shoes... damn, that's hardcore!

3:00 I guess this is Danny. Can't say I'm super excited to learn more about his character. I want more involvement from Marth's character.

4:30 Kitty the Humanitarian, on the scene.

5:30 this Heenan's Palace place in the backdrop is a new one on me... must be an addition this season. They've got Blackjack!!!!!!

6:30 I thought he looked familiar... this is Jack Albertson, Grandpa on "Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory" (1971). This episode was 2 years before the movie came out.

8:05 hey, it's just as bitchin' of a place to die as any.

13:17 "It's a new day, gentlemen!" Lol. That's actually a good way to look at things.

13:30 lol, it's always funny when you find out a character's aim is to kill the Marshal. Then it's just a countdown to their demise. It's that kinda party.

13:47 wait... if the Marshal isn't their target, then who is??

16:56 the statue honestly does kinda look like him.

17:48 he really should have just gone with the obelisk.

18:08 holy crap, look at the gorgeous giant playing card decorations on this place... https://i.imgur.com/RIdLlna.png

18:50 why do all Dodge City's town drunks sound exactly the same??

20:26 "Yeah, it sure is. Too bad Scotch tape hasn't been invented yet!?" TBH though, he could have sewn that shit together. There had to be SOME WAY. Maybe I'm missing something regarding money back in the 1800s, but it being ripped in half was no reason not to take it.

20:30 I was jealous of that baller leather bag too bro, but you gotta get over it.

22:40 the music in this scene sounds like change rolling on the ground.

22:50 that's what I figured.

23:10 oh so I guess it's two halves of two different bills.

24:23 BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

28:30 this man is delusional as hell to think they'd go through with any party or funeral after he does that.

33:56 oo, shit, hell yeah, I'd take that!!!

37:48 his little scheme makes sense... he's a great conman, that's for sure. I really like what he's done.

38:07 lmao he's basically saying what I just got done saying. Heenan's in a tough position though... it's not like he can just straight up murder this guy in front of everybody.

38:55 "How about some coffee?" I love the way she said that.

40:20 lmao at the "paid mourners"... I guess crisis actors are a concept that dates way back.

40:40 I love that he's getting to see it all himself before he's even dead, lmao!!!

41:06 shoutout to the hotass cowboy extra with the nice crotch... https://i.imgur.com/0BBi9G2.png

42:10 this is hilarious.

42:50 I guess James Nusser (Louie Pheeters) couldn't be in this episode. I think his appearances really become less from here on out.

[Mister Obvious]

S15 E5 - "Hawk"

0:32 oh Lordy damn, who is THIS hottie?!?! Was that a BADGE??!?!

0:44 oo la la, baby, damn!!!!!!! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brendon_Boone He's sexy as fuck... https://imgur.com/a/ZATQHsM I'm looking forward to this episode.

1:00 not to state the obvious or anything but... there's a dog. And regardless of how cute the scene may seem, it's never a good sign.

1:11 "What kind of uniform is that?" I was wondering the same thing TBH.

1:23 it's really weird he says he comes from the Apache Nation cuz immediately when I saw him, he reminded me of a man I saw one time over in that part of Arizona. Suuuper weird. Good casting... they got this one right on point.

1:40 this Brendon guy is hot asf.

2:00 they look related and it's love at first sight.

3:13 meeeh, I dunno, he's getting low key creepster at this point. Is he a good guy or a bad guy?

4:08 dude... what the fuck is with this guy?? Does he have some kinda telepathic Apache powers or something?? Like what are they even trying to convey here?!?!? What is he doing?!?!?!

4:17 is she supposed to know him, or know of him? Did she do his daddy wrong or something??

5:36 bro, I'm thinking Phoebe's dead.

5:47 oh for sure... there's doom written all over this.

5:55 but... Festus seems to know him. They're casting a ton of misdirection with this one.

6:06 I mean, he IS ultra fine though.

7:50 she DEFINITELY knows him, and owes him a favor or something.

8:36 you can't fool Festus.

9:13 maybe that look he gave her daughter was because he knew who she was. I swear these two know each other.

9:32 YUUUUUUUP. But what's the connection??

9:38 oh SHUTTTT UUUUUUP.

9:43 damn bitch... that's cold. I hope he kills this lady. For real.

9:50 well at least she addressed the elephant in the room though, I was gonna make a joke about it. That places her at 37.

10:13 she DOES NOT have to be such a cunt about this.

10:54 this is soooo dramatic and I'm totally obsessed.

11:16 I mean honestly she is just asking him to kill her in a fit of rage at this point, she needs to have some damn respect. The guy's a sergeant FFS. She's such a douche.

11:26 I get that she's bitter and whatnot, like okay, it makes sense she'd feel that way... but DAMN.

11:36 bro, I don't think you can argue that... I'm gonna have to disagree.

11:44 she's right though. Sorry but he's gotta be out of his mind.

11:53 I mean it really was a dumb thing for him to say.

11:56 Western. Melodrama.

12:02 "That bitch." I swear they're sharing thoughts psychically right now. Tell me they're not. For real. They totally are.

12:07 he knows. She knows. They know. DOOM.

12:14 I swear I half expected there to be another intro. Roflmfaoflaololol.

12:31 damn, is that Ruth!? Ruth lookin' GOOD!

12:41 sexual tension between Kitty and Festus, DETECTED. That prompts a thought I've never had before... I wonder if any of the Gunsmoke cast mains ever went to Bangtown together?!?!

14:38 roflmfao @ his eyes change before he starts telling them the story... good God, Ken Curtis was absolutely incredible.

14:48 "Then she pulled this here lacy thang down over her face," roflmfaololol.

15:19 I love Miss Kitty's rings. She's wearing like 4 of them and none of them really match... I think that's pretty cool.

16:28 dude I wanna fuck Festus so bad.

16:44 uh oh, it's the dog again... doom, impending.

16:58 WTF, can't a bitch look out the window without being accosted??

18:00 lol... God bless this naive little wench.

18:16 lol, some of the faces Louise Latham makes throughout this scene are nothing short of iconic. Blink and you miss it... I recommend watching back that last minute twice.

19:17 good ol' Festus, just testin' and assessin' them waters.

This is already one of my favorite episodes.

20:48 welp... Festus just got all the info he needed.

21:20 yeah, Festus, everything is "JUST FINE." *dancing banana* ... *throws popcorn at screen*

22:09 "Let's get (it) on."

22:27 I swear these kids know... THEY JUST KNOWWWW.

22:33 "Amos, you're an annoying little fuck."

23:40 I think she's about to get slapped.

24:09 oh so she's 38 then. Got it.

24:30 well I mean, you pretty much can't argue with that, let's be real.

24:38 how is this gonna end with somebody dead, that's what I wanna know?!?1

25:18 lmao @ the 60s style 'detective show' drums, a touch too far roflmfao.

25:30 this Brendon guy's voice is mighty sexy.

26:02 THERE IT IS AGAIN!!!!! Lmao, y'all GOTTA stop.

26:40 that's a badass gun belt... both his buckles say "US" on them.

26:50 he probably doesn't care whether he lives or dies anyway after being treated like a turd.

27:45 what do you wanna bet the kid's dog comes barking randomly out of nowhere? Roflmfaolol, I jest, I jest.

27:52 lol, the guitar here kinda reminds me of "Under Pressure"... roflrofl.

28:05 can't stop staring at his crotch... just me?!?

29:32 [dog barking in distance] lmfao, kidding, I'm kidding.

31:12 "Mah! He's a human being, not a dog!" lmao. They had to slip it in somewhere, amirite though. Gunsmoke don't like dogs, man, I dunno what else to tell ya.

It's really weird to me how they use the dog omen, since dogs stand for loyalty etc., right? Is there something I don't know??? lol. https://worldbirds.com/dog-symbolism

31:40 ohhh noooo. Kid knows that shit ain't right. QUICK! Sick the dog on 'em! Roflfmfaoflafkafoafl. Okay okay, I'm done, I'm done.

34:58 God I wish things could be different for this guy... I really do. This shit is just ice cold and I can't even.

35:13 props to that kid, super cool fade effect on that scene too.

God this show is just fucking BEYOND. Beyond beyond. It's beyond.

37:30 the Princess Leia/Luke Skywalker vibes are real.

38:54 don't get the floor wet with that meltin' heart though.

40:55 I mean... I said I was done, but. They just keep bringing the dog into it... what do you want me to do, I don't make the rules okay.

43:00 you know what, I appreciate her for that. Mad props for real though. You know Marshal Dillon's about to ride up in this bitch anyways.

44:06 chicka is just bewildered as fuck, lmao.

Holy shit man, good God. I cannot with this show. One of the greatest episodes, top 10, even if there are 20 episodes in the top 10.

[Mister Obvious]

It's really weird to me how they use the dog omen, since dogs stand for loyalty etc., right? Is there something I don't know??? lol. https://worldbirds.com/dog-symbolism

Ohhhh, man, it just dawned on me... dogs alert to danger. Only took me 494 episodes to make that connection.

[Mister Obvious]

It's episodes like that one that make you wonder how in the hell they're gonna follow that. HOW ARE THEY GONNA FOLLOW THAT. How can anything be THAT GOOD?!!!!! I'm SWEATING.

[Mister Obvious]

Ohhhh, man, it just dawned on me... dogs alert to danger. Only took me 494 episodes to make that connection.

Actually I probably have made the connection before, but I just don't remember... shoutout 1200+ posts.

[Mister Obvious]

S15 E6 - "A Man Called Smith"

0:30 oh shit, it's Jacqueline Scott and Cindy Brady back again as the woman and family that stole Festus's heart... they don't usually do this kinda thing. I expect there to be hot action.

0:59 nice sideburns, asshole. Now WTF do you want?!

1:30 "Will Smith" lmao.

1:44 shit, that ain't a friend of their dad's, I bet that IS their dad. I can't remember how she said he died in the other episode or if they ever knew him though, so maybe he really is just a friend.

2:07 they recast the son role, I think they purposely chose a kid who looks like him.

2:39 man, fuck you guy. You're NOT charming, and you're definitely not as hot as Festus.

3:00 God knows he should be, and he probably will be by the end of this episode?!?!

4:11 she better pay a little visit to the Marshal's office.

5:07 I legitimately hate it when the fair comes to Dodge.

5:30 y'all... that cat looks DRUGGED.

6:17 shit, he grew so much he ain't even the same person anymore!!!

11:58 more like SPERM of the moment!?

13:20 she should just take it to the Marshal and get his ass locked up, but you know she won't.

15:50 the Bull's Head Saloon is definitely the trashiest establishment in Dodge.

17:55 I liked her character a lot, but after they do shit like this, my interest tanks. Anybody who's not smart enough to go to Matt/Festus when there's trouble isn't worth their weight in salt.

19:00 Festus has some nice facial hair though.

21:00 man, them saloon girls down at the Bull's Head be rough!

23:00 yeah, I officially don't care what happens to her at this point.

47:00 I cannot keep a straight face with this scene.

[Mister Obvious]

S15 E7 - "Charlie Noon"

I'm gonna be 100% honest about this episode and the one after it. I kind of sneaked a peak at the synopsis of these two episodes the other day and I was like, "Yeah, those sound like they're basically gonna suck." Lmao. I'm just being real. They sound like pure and total filler episodes by synopsis alone.

Maybe I'm wrong. We'll see. But I've put off watching til now because I just wasn't excited about these upcoming episodes and I gotta remember never to read the synopsis first because it just leads me into pre-judgement of the episodes. Plus, I'm feeling fucking cross this evening. Like the whole bag of douches, for real. Just the entire bag. I'm not gonna excuse even the slightest fuckup out of Gunsmoke tonight.

1:22 oh, I didn't realize James Best was in this episode. That's kinda righteous. I think this is the oldest I've ever seen him.

2:00 I get that they've just murdered some people, but is it really necessary to say that kind of shit about them? Lmao.

2:50 well I think it's pretty obvious he's gonna be in love with her by the end of the episode.

3:55 fuck me, that's Ron Howard!!!!!! I clearly didn't even bother to look at the cast list when I read the synopsis?!

5:00 add that one into the "Marshal Dillon Backhands" file.

5:50 good Lord, I don't remember ever seeing this many shirtless hotass Indian dudes on the show before though.

6:11 those desert acoustics though?! Man, this is more like a movie than it is an episode of Gunsmoke. I shouldn't be surprised at this point.

6:30 I'm sorry but that's just creepy as hell. I guess that's the point but... yikes. What're they, triangulatin' or somethin'?

6:38 "Take Jamie and run." roflmfaolfoalolol. If you know, you know. Gunsmoke diehards know. It's right up there with the dog barking omen.

7:47 and this necessitates care and opens the door for him to fall in love with her. It's all so transparent. I wonder if somebody watching this show for the first time would see it going that way from the get-go as well? I feel like they would... I think sometimes it's all heavily implied through various techniques and it's about telling the story rather than keeping things mysterious.

10:12 uh oh, she just fucked him up super hard.

11:30 this guy is so lame. Like literally.

15:18 he said "Best get mounted, ma'am"... FIX THE FUCKING CAPTIONS NEXT TIME. I could do a better job. Hire someone who GIVES A FUCK.

19:55 I was wondering how the fuck that was supposed to be her son.

21:50 typically I really like Ron Howard, I mean I've always considered him a great actor even since he was a little kid. I was always really impressed with his acting abilities. But I ain't feelin' him in this guest appearance... maybe it's cuz he's so young, like he's not Andy Griffith Show young, but he's not Happy Days 'older' yet. He's in this strange in-between where it's like agh... I just don't even. At least they tagged his character with a good name though.

23:55 I dunno why he's flapping his gums, this lady's not an idiot.

24:24 "Some of 'em needed it, some of 'em didn't." Lol, God bless the old west.

25:30 Matt's mouth looks swollen in this episode. Maybe he had some dental work IRL and had to continue on with filming anyway... wouldn't be surprised. Could also just be the 'dirt' makeup that causes it to look different too... but I think it's swollen.

25:53 "Nothing is sacred to you." Guuuurl. Word though. Like... word.

26:06 TBH, at least he's making himself useful.

28:46 what is with this guy and smelling things???

29:23 well you might as well play the role, buddy... you know you wanna.

30:00 "Look how white our teeth are under this day-to-night filter!"

30:13 well, bravery means being scared but doing it anyway sonny.

30:33 "Man that isn't ever afraid... he's a fool." I knew they were gonna say something to that effect, lol.

34:17 "My old man was a loser." Daaaaaammmmnnnnn.

35:50 well I think we can all see how this is gonna end.

37:06 yeah he's right... that'd just make a mean, bad man outta that kid.

45:50 great scene.

Well... that didn't suck.
