Film went on to make a profit of $450,000 with a reported budget of $1.2 million – My Blog

Movie star John Wayne deeply enjoyed playing games, such as bridge and dominoes. He wasn’t ever against having a strong drink and sharing good company with his close friends. Wayne was very close friends with filmmaker John Ford and fellow actor Ward Bond, but they had a particular dynamic that informed how the games went.

Three Godfathers tells the story of thieves named Robert Hightower (Wayne), Pete Fuerte (Pedro Armendáriz), and Abilene Kid (Harry Carey Jr.). They rob an Arizonian bank before Sheriff Buck Sweet (Bond) pursues them across the desert. Along the way, the trio comes across a woman (Mildred Natwick), who is dying during childbirth, as they promise to bring her child to society.
According to Carolyn McGivern’s book, John Wayne: A Giant Shadow, the cast and crew had an awful time filming Three Godfathers. They had to film through desert storms, resulting in the sand completely covering them from head to toe. Additionally, they had to work long days from morning until night, as the harsh sun and sand did a number on them.
Wayne and the rest of the cast and crew found solace in the evenings, where they enjoyed cooler weather and games, such as dominoes. It became a running joke on the set, which allowed the actors to poke fun at one another.

Every game of dominoes started with Wayne asking, “What’s worse than going to Hell?” The rest of the group would respond in unison, “Playing dominoes with Pedro Armendáriz as your partner!”
The teams split into Wayne and Bond against Ford and Armendáriz, which always was a source of amusement for the group.
Ford regularly tried to cheat, while Armendáriz would lose his cool with Bond, who was the absolute worst at any game they would dare play together.
“Thank God, fellas … the heat’s off! Ward’s done it again,” Wayne said with a laugh any time he lost with Bond on his team. However, the actor knew it was best to lose against Ford because he was a sore loser who would make life difficult the following day if he didn’t win.
Despite playing dominoes, Wayne and crew knew when it was time to get serious. They were able to complete the film, which was the introductory role for Carey Jr., even though he previously had a handful of other roles on the silver screen.
Wayne and Ford worked together several times over the course of their careers, including The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, The Quiet Man, and Stagecoach. Three Godfathers is far from their most successful or popular, but it certainly did quite well on its own terms with critics and audiences.
Three Godfathers did quite well with the critics, who gave the film generally positive reviews. At the time of writing, the Ford movie is sitting at an 85% “Fresh” rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Additionally, the film went on to make a profit of $450,000 with a reported budget of $1.2 million.

Sydney Sweeney hits back at horrific body shaming comments on viral pictures with incredible response

Sydney Sweeney has posted an Instagram video which included body shaming comments

Sydney Sweeney has hit back at horrific body shaming comments she’s received online with an incredible response.

For famous faces, social media can be an extremely toxic place, and it’s why we’ve seen some celebrities reduce their online presence as a result.

Euphoria star Sydney Sweeney has become the subject of body shaming comments in recent times, and she responded to these on Instagram in the best possible way.

The actor posted a shot clip that began with screenshots of a bunch of body shaming comments she’s received online, including some calling her ‘quite frumpy’, ‘very chunky’ and ‘tubby’.

Sydney Sweeney and Glen Powell discuss chemistry
After many screenshots of horrible comments were shown on screen, the video cut to Sweeney in her training gear at the gym.

The video cut to a sign that said ‘hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard’ as Sweeney worked hard with a trainer, struck a punching bag and even flipped a large tire in what looked like an extremely intense workout.

Many have flocked to the comments section of the Instagram video to praise Sweeney for her response to the trolls.

“I will never understand the hate in people‘s hearts when it comes to leaving comments like this,” one person commented.

A second added: “Ngl why do people feel entitled to talk about someone’s body specially someone you don’t personally know,” while a third remarked: “No one has the right or reason to make comments on anyones body, ever.”

Meanwhile, Lili Reinhart penned: “It’s always wild to see people publicly out themselves as pieces of shit with comments like that. You look incredible and your dedication to your project is very inspiring.”

The video actually concluded with the name ‘Christy Martin’ being shown on the screen, which is a nod to Sweeney’s upcoming biopic where she plays a famed female boxer.

Boxing fans will likely know Martin is a is a former professional boxer who earned herself the WBC female super welterweight title in 2009.

Sweeney has spoken previously about her process of getting into her movie character, telling The Los Angeles Times in March that she’s a ‘very hands-on collaborator’.

“I like being able to give ideas, be a part of it, help come up with solutions. It just changes the whole process,” she said.

Sweeney continued: “It’s so hard for me now to be on a set and not be able to help in any type of way and be able to take action. And being able to actually have a voice and have a valued opinion—it means so much.”

‘Australia’s most sexually active woman’ reveals outrageous bedroom goal for 2025

A woman who has been dubbed the “most sexually active woman” in Australia has set her sights on a big goal for 2025.

You’ve probably heard of Bonnie Blue and Lily Phillips attempting to break outrageous records in the bedroom – and Annie Knight has now thrown her hat into the ring too.

“When I watched that clip of Lily crying and everyone was saying, ‘Oh my god, this poor girl,’ I just thought, well, she’s been getting railed all day by 100 different guys… imagine putting your body through that,” Knight told Metro.

“Yes, it’s emotionally taxing, but isn’t that like any job?” she added. “Everyone has moments where they’re like, ‘I don’t know if I can do this anymore.’ You do get really stressed. She’d be exhausted; her body would be exhausted. When you’re tired, your emotions are high.”

Knight also noted that some of the men involved in Phillips’ session were reportedly rude to her, emphasizing that dealing with negativity can be challenging in any profession.
