Return to Lonesome Dove and the short lived tv series Lonesome Dove: the series (AKA known as Lonesome Dove The outlaw years) were pretty bad. McMurtry had no involvement. They were written by the tv studio. Avoid both of these.
Streets of Laredo was good as long as you treat it as a standalone novel and Miniseries. Continuity errors and the goofy Lorena Pea Eye pairing make it hard to swallow for fans of the original. But taken on its own, it is pretty good. It is much darker than the original.
Dead Mans Walk was a good book and I enjoyed it. The miniseries was just ok. Some parts were miscast, especially the young Gus. But it is still enjoyable. The ending was silly though.
Comanche Moon is an abortion. Avoid it at all costs.

You are a traitor. Stop sucking indian dick.
Will AI help curb the Hb1 visa fiasco?
Posted by Linoge on 2/27/26 at 12:32 pm
Or at least slow it down alot? Much of what is being imported from india is programmers. Companies use the visa to avoid paying American citizens. Both Trump and Musk praise and use the visa for cheap workers. They will never slow it down and have said so publicly. No republican or democrat will. That is the cold hard truth.
The only thing that will is something cheaper. And that would be our boogeyman AI.
Who might just turn out to be our dear friend in the long run.
A silver lining in all this uncertainty would be less importation of workers. While cheaper, they still cost alot of money.
And because it is all about money, companies will gleefully end their visa abuse as long as AI can do the job more cheaply.

Hard to believe this theme was approved when Pixar only makes media for kids and their parent company owns Disney+
Makes me think that the tablet ends up becoming an ally of the toys against something or someone else
Yeah I am wondering about this too. Kids addicted to phones and tablets is one of the top worries of parents so this topic is timely.
Im guessing at the end after some fighting, Woody gives a speech about "balance time between the toys and the tablet" and they are all friends again.
I doubt Disney has the balls to show the parents throwing the ipad out the window. Would be truly awesome though if they did.

And yes, Trump fully supports it and always talks about what a wonderful program it is. So does Musk.

All the points I said still stand regardless if this particular rumor is true or not.
Are you going to deny that the studios are doing this race and gender swapping across all their films and television productions and not just this one?
How does everyone feel about the black Anne Boleyn? Or the female Silver Surfer? Or the black Severus Snape and Hermione Granger? Or Snow White turning Colombian? Or the little mermaid? Or any of the other endless DEI changes made to every single piece of entertainment produced today.
At least be honest that you approve of this happening. It is your ideology so you might as well own it.

This board used to be the most peaceful board on this site. Shame what's happened to it
The conflict is here for a reason.
Half on this board are all in on the replacement of legacy film/book/tv characters with someone other than straight white males. Because white people are the root of all evil you see. They cheer it on and gaslight those who oppose by saying "its just a movie why do you care?"
The other half push back against the studios constantly doing this. This isn't about this film in particular, it is an ongoing fight against the erasure of a culture.
Also, why don't the studios do more films set in sub-Saharan Africa and explore its history and myths? Wy must they take legends and myths from largely European history and alter it? This does a disservice to both groups and the truth overall.

Your argument is the most popular American league/sport should be even MORE popular?
Yes. Absolutely. You must be young. You aren't getting that the NFL was such an unreal cultural force back in the day. It dominated everything.
That is no longer the case. Two things can be true at once: 1) they have gotten wealthier and remain the most popular sport. and 2) they aren't the cultural force the entire country wraps itself in anymore.

But they keep making more money and getting more viewers...
Making more money yes. More viewers is debatable. Given the massive population increase in the USA over the last 40 years, the sport's popularity should be MUCH higher than they are now.
Kids are not as interested in sports these days. And immigrants (who represent most of the population increase) like soccer not "American football".
The NFL is popular and always will be regardless of its politics. But it is nothing like it was years ago when the whole culture seemed to orbit it. It does not have the same cultural impact it once did. IF they aren't careful they could move into niche territory like other sports have recently.

The rest of us just aren’t that upset about it because it’s a fictional story and want an entertaining movie. I guess sorry for not being this upset about an unconfirmed casting in a mythology?
The rest of you aren't upset about it because you agree with the goal the studios are pushing. Which is to rewrite history to make it more favorable to "minorities" (which is ridiculous considering white people are the worlds real minority by far).
Almost every single tv show and movie are doing this and have been for the last 15-20 years. Every year they get more aggressive with it. Constantly swapping out white characters for POC, male characters change to female, straight to gay, etc.
What is extra disappointing in this case is we thought Nolan was above such nonsense. That he would put the integrity of his story first. Clearly he has changed his mind on that subject or had it changed for him by the studio.

IT will be Newsome. The corporate money will line up behind him and the idiot white women will vote for him.
Of course he will have to pick a POC for a running mate. Jasmine Crockett probably.
What people are missing is this has become a war. ICE wasnt trained to be soldiers, they are trained to catch and deport illegals.
But these commie activists are well funded and organized. They are trained to provoke and scare ICA agents into firing back. They threaten to harm their families. They are protected by the democrat local and state law enforcement.
When ICE goes into a blue area, they are in a losing battle. They have no support and are under constant threat. hell, they cant eat at restaurants for fear of food being poisoned.
My take is that we should focus on the red and purple states. Clean those states up with the help of local and state law enforcement. This will also help in the coming elections. If we lock down the right and the middle, we can win.
If we keep fighting this losing battle on their blue turf in places like MN and CA, the middle/moderates will side with the left due to the negative coverage. And then we lose nationwide.
Be smart and we can still save teh country. If the country turns against ICE, then the democrats will disband them when they get power back. WE cant allow that.

ITs about times we cut ties forever with these shithole countries. NO more immigration from these places, legal or otherwise.
In fact, no more immigration from anywhere. Except for those white south africans who are being persecuted. They are welcome.

There are 136 FBS college football programs and all 136 would drop ever dime they have available to get Curt Cignetti to become their next head coach. Does he actually stay at Indiana and turn them into a CFP power house or is it a matter of time before one of the bigger college football programs drops a big sack of cash on his desk?
I mean, is "bigger" still important? Indiana just obliterated Bama and also beat Ohio State in the conference championship. Why leave for a bigger program when you are already kicking the bigger programs asses?
I am not sure the old rules still apply when it comes to coaches always chasing the bigger job. He has proven he can win at Indiana and they just gave him a huge extension. He should stay and have his name put up on the stadium.

This is my take too. Why are we waiting political capital and resources on that shite state? Focus efforts on red states and getting crime down there and deporting immigrants.
Let the blue states crumble.
I dont think you will see many tears from them. Everyone knew this season was over after the Texas game, even if they pretended otherwise at the time.
And to be honest, it was really that USC game that exposed them.
I still think Elko is a good coach. He is building a stout defense.
But that QB is total arse. IF A&M wants a chance at 10 wins next year they better get a top quality QB int he portal.

So Elko is going to leave a playoff team he built for a dumpster fire that has players decommitting left and right? He would have to be a straight up retard to do something like that.
Washington State is good people. They are hiring Lurch despite his ghoul heritage.
