Here’s How Many Times John Wayne Said ‘Pilgrim’ in ‘The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance’ – My Blog

The world didn’t always appreciate iconic actor John Wayne for his acting chops, but he certainly revolutionized the Western film genre. He starred in a wide array of B-movies before making major moves into the Hollywood spotlight. However, Wayne fans still quote his “pilgrim” delivery from The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance in the modern-day. Here’s how many times he says it to his co-star over the course of the movie.

John Wayne plays a local rancher named Tom Doniphon in ‘The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance’
The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance opens on Senator Stoddard (James Stewart) arriving in a small town. However, the press soon discovers that he arrived to attend the funeral of a local rancher named Tom Doniphon (Wayne). The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance takes the story back in time to explore how Liberty Valance (Lee Marvin) terrorized the town, but only these two men had the guts to stand up to him and his crew.
Stoddard proves to be an important man in the bigger picture past Liberty. As a result, he made big political moves. However, The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance highlights the importance of Wayne’s Tom, who frequently saves Stoddard’s life. Tom ultimately doesn’t win over his love interest, Hallie (Vera Miles), but he still does what’s right.

John Wayne says the word ‘pilgrim’ 25 times

Wayne has a signature delivery to his dialogue that audiences find comfort in. The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance is no different in this regard. He frequently calls Stoddard “pilgrim” throughout the movie, which was an insult during these times. However, Stoddard doesn’t call him out for the name.
A YouTube channel uploaded a “pilgrim counter” to see how many times Wayne says the word over the course of The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance. It humorously splices the clips to show just how many times he repeats the line with the same delivery. However, the video doesn’t contain every use of the term.
IMDb correctly identifies that Wayne says “pilgrim” 25 times throughout The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance. This is the same number that Showbiz Cheat Sheet came to after counting over the course of the movie.
‘The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance’ is coming to 4K Blu-ray

The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance remains one of the greatest Western films of all time. It has a place in popular culture, especially through Wayne’s excessive use of the word “pilgrim.” However, that isn’t the only reason why folks still return to this classic. Audiences love the story, its characters, and the world it builds around them.
Collider confirmed that Paramount is bringing Wayne’s The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance to the high-quality format of 4K Blu-ray with HDR on May 17. This upcoming release will include collectible packaging, a foldout image, and additional art in the casing. There will also be a new bonus feature called “Filmmaker Focus,” which follows film historian Leonard Maltin’s discussion around the film.

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.
