    Battle doomscrolling by posting five small pleasures: 1. Finding Edward G Ulmer’s Detour, 1945, on Criterion 2. Running fast as you can when shuffle gives you The Outlaws’ Green Grass and High Tides 3. Remembering how much my older sister liked the movie Arthur when we were very little No more room!

    I think in the streaming age a good approach is to do what the BBC did with The Outlaws, i.e. film 2 seasons back-to-back. That way you have time to gauge the public response, you can build anticipation for the 2nd series, and there's less risk of the 3rd season being delayed by scheduling issues.

    @screendrafts.bsky.social Next year THE ROUNDUP will become a 5 film franchise. It will be weird if it will be called THE ROUNDUP 5, as THE ROUNDUP is the sequel to THE OUTLAWS, and the third film is called THE ROUNDUP: NO WAY OUT, followed by THE ROUNDUP: PUNISHMENT.

    With that, the Outlaws Remaster has been beaten~! It's very good, feels just like playing an old-school Western movie. It surprisingly has a lot of story for a boomer shooter. The amount of damage you take feels rather inconsistent, but that didn't stop me from being hooked!

    1929. I had to go with Haiducii, or The Outlaws, (Horia Igirosanu). I confess it hadn't even crossed my mind that there might have been a film industry during the Romanian Interbellum. A young girl disguises herself as a man and joins a band of outlaws to rescue her sister from from the local boyar.
