Quickshots: Eminence Hill
Upon watching Eminence Hill I determined that I need a new metric for a
movie- did the movie put me to sleep?
Let’s take the same Eminence Hill as an example. It started off with a tense, dramatic moment
setting up what promises to be a bloody tale of vengeance. Then it kind of wandered off until some spicy
campfire scenes grabbed my attention, followed by an absurd scene of a pair of
Apaches stealing horses from our main characters by (I kid you not) walking up
to them while they slept five feet from their mounts, shushing a captive, then
riding away. The great horse thieves of
the plains are surely rolling over in their graves. At some point conservatively dressed but thoroughly
dangerous looking lawman walked into a saloon and ordered some tea after an
awkward encounter with…
…and then I woke up.
Mrs. Slap had just come home, we put on some chili, and I don’t think I’ll
ever get back to this one.
The cast, sets, and wardrobe were by turns great or
ridiculous. If I were a more attentive
viewer I would have followed the plot better, but consider this- no one has to
make you follow the plot to Empire Strike Back.
You are in from the first shot, and I certainly wasn’t on this one.

Outland: Beyond the Far West
I was able to catch one scene. Great costumes. Lots of grunting. That's about the best review I can give at the moment.

Madonna: The Cowgirl Years
Embarasing Allure of Cultural Appropriation
On one hand, a decent person would feel like an asshole for enjoying these culturally insensitive pictures of topless women in anachronistic native headdress (aka, hot naked Indian princess, take that search engines!). On the other hand, well, that hand also feels like an asshole. However, as a multi-dimensional being of the multiverse how many hands do I really have? We are bound by our illusions and like seeing what happens when we screw with search engines. Namaste.
