60 of 233 · most liked firstI recommend the old movie, "High Noon." I can't help but remember parts of it lately. Like a cowardly town of people who refused to help the good guy fight against the bad guy. Anyone else remember that movie?
positive · AI labelView post →It's a good film, but it ain't an ALIEN copycat. It's a HIGH NOON. copycat. How can a film writer not know that??
neutral · AI labelView post →I love this clunky old thing. It's born of two inspirations: 1952's High Noon and the gritty aesthetic of Ridley Scott's Alien. It's not the best movie you've ever seen but bless it's heart is doing its best.

A character named “Spota” (wife’s maiden name) 2. The company name “Con Amalgamate” (usually crooked or evil) #TonightsFilmSelection
neutral · AI labelView post →Part of what I like so much about A Hidden Life is how everyone in it tries to convince him to in some way attempt to placate the authorities-his wife, the Catholic clergy, the Nazi mayor. It reminds me of another relevant movie, High Noon, where the town is shamed by the Sheriff's refusal to cower.

That god-forsaken town feels like this country today. Last scene, Cooper takes off his Star badge and throws it to the ground.

neutral · AI labelView post →God, did I love this when I first heard Station to Station as a youngster. Loved it even more when, as an adult, I discovered it was written by Dimitri Tiomkin and Ned Washington (of The Ballad of High Noon fame—“Do Not Forsake Me, Oh My Darlin’”) for the 1957 film of the same name. Still love it.
neutral · AI labelView post →High Noon. Best western ever made. Great film about courage, or lack there of. A sheriff defending a town too cowardly to defend itself. Or- a good man in an old west maga town.
positive · AI labelView post →I haven't seen this movie in forever, and I realize it's basically High Noon in Space with head explosions, but I remember it looked enough like ALIEN that as a kid I was satisfied.

Day #114 "Outland" (Peter Hyams/1981) Hyams remake of High Noon set on one of Jupiter's moons is an absolute belter. Sean Connery is as badass as ever.

positive · AI labelView post →Elmore Leonard, who wrote the short story 3:10 to Yuma was based on, later wrote the made for TV sequel to High Noon, called High Noon Part II: The Return of Will Kane. No one has made a movie critiquing High Noon Part II, as most everyone agrees that it is a perfect film.

But Tiomkin knew that the title tune he had written with Washington was a damn fine song! So, he purchased the song rights and released a single, with Frankie Laine. 11/15 #filmsky #musicsky

positive · AI labelView post →For @bwdr.bsky.social’s “What Is to be Done?” issue, I wrote about HIGH NOON—a film whose political voltage still hums in our own time. The film is a parable of civic abandonment, the fragility of conscience, and what happens when good people wait for someone else to act.

positive · AI labelView post →This one didn't last long - and @rph13.bsky.social was first in with HIGH NOON (1952) by composer Dimitri Tiomkin, who was born on this day in 1894 (d. 1979). Tiomkin won the Oscar for Best Score AND Best Song! Yes, it was easy this week. I try to mix things up, what can I say. #filmsky #moviesky
