About the Show Comanche Moon
Val Kilmer, Steve Zahn, Rachel Griffiths, Karl Urban, Linda Cardellini, Elizabeth Banks and Wes Studi star in COMANCHE MOON, a new six-hour mini-series based on the book by Larry McMurtry, and the final chapter in the "Lonesome Dove" saga to be made into a movie, will air Sunday, January 13, Tuesday, January 15 and Wednesday, January 16 at 9pm et/pt. Academy Award and Golden Globe Award winners Larry McMurtry and Diana Ossana are the executive producers and writers.
COMANCHE MOON, the prequel to McMurtry's bestselling and Pulitzer Prize-winning book, "Lonesome Dove," which was the basis for the multiple Emmy Award-winning mini-series "Lonesome Dove," follows Texas Rangers Augustus "Gus" McCrae (Zahn) and Woodrow F. Call (Urban), now in their middle years, as they continue to deal with the ever-increasing tensions of adult life--Gus with his great love, Clara Forsythe (Cardellini), and Call with Maggie Tilton (Banks), the young prostitute who loves him and bears him his son, Newt (Joseph Castanon). Kilmer plays Captain Inish Scull, a Yankee aristocrat and hero of the recently concluded Mexican War. Griffiths plays Inez Scull, the Captain's sexy wife who doesn't hesitate to fill her time with other men when he's away from home. Wes Studi plays Comanche Chief Buffalo Hump.
Two proud but very different men, McCrae and Call enlist with a Ranger troop in pursuit of three outlaws: Buffalo Hump, the great Comanche war chief; Kicking Wolf (Jonathon Joss), the celebrated Comanche horse thief; and Ahumado (Sal Lopez), a deadly Mexican bandit king with a penchant for torture. Assisting the Rangers in their wild chase is the renowned Kickapoo tracker Famous Shoes (David Midthunder). They are joined by their comrades-in-arms, Deets (Keith Robinson), Jake Spoon (Ryan Merriman) and Pea Eye Parker (Troy Baker), in the bitter struggle to protect an advancing western frontier against the defiant Comanches who are determined to defend their territory and their way of life. The Rangers also encounter Buffalo Hump's violent outcast son, Blue Duck (Adam Beach).

"That was one angry parrot. This show is like a train wreck. Horrifying but I just can't look away."
I know what you mean elkoholic. It is one strange movie. A parrot knocks a ruthless bandit off a cliff and he falls to his death? Are you kidding me? In real life that guy would have had fried parrot for lunch.
The guy who is doing the Robert Duvall part obviously spent 40 hours watching and re watching Lonesome Dove, he is expertly mimicking Duvall's speech patterns and his gestures.
Interesting but not necessarily good acting.
The whole deal with Val Kilmer in the pit was strange, rattlers crawling around, but they wouldn't bite him.
The fat lady is one minute urging the bandit to kill Kilmer, the next minute she is bringing him food and water. No comprendo.
An interesting historical fact, in the next scene she was killed by a jaguar. Pursuant to reading a thread on jaguars on this forum a while back, I googled up jaguars and northern Mexico, where this supposedly happened, is in the range of the jaguar, certainly would have been 170 years ago.
Anyway, five hours down, guess I will have to watch the last two.0 -
I wanted more violence... How about a gatling gun to shoot up them engines...[:D] 0 -
