Tarantino’s Bizarre Perfect Date Movie Is A John Wayne Western – My Blog

Quentin Tarantino once cited John Wayne Western classic Rio Bravo as a deciding factor when it came to starting a new romance. Wayne wasn’t a fan of 1952’s High Noon, where a Marshal is left to fend for himself by the townsfolk he’s trying to protect from a returning outlaw. The film was acclaimed upon release and is considered a masterpiece now, but Wayne hated its “Un-American” depiction of a lawman begging for aid, the townspeople in return refusing to help or its subtextual critiques of the Hollywood blacklisting happening during this time.In turn, Wayne later reunited with collaborator Howard Hawks to make Rio Bravo. Wayne – who appeared in 80 Westerns – was cast as Sheriff Chance, who is tasked with guarding a dangerous prisoner while hired guns besiege his town. Rio Bravo is a pointed rebuke to High Noon – with Chance never once asking for help but receiving it anyway – but the 1959 Western is also viewed as a genre great. It also has some auteur fans; it’s one of John Carpenter’s favorites, with the filmmaker having riffed on its themes in Assault On Precinct 13 and Ghosts Of Mars.Another admirer is Tarantino, who has cited it as one of his all-time favorites. One major element his work has pulled from Rio Bravo is its “hang out” vibe. Despite the movie’s simple setup, its runtime is nearly 150 minutes, with many scenes of Wayne just hanging out with Dean Martin’s Dude or Angie Dickinson’s Feathers. This is the same dynamic QT was aiming for with Pulp Fiction or Jackie Brown, where the main characters talk sometimes talk about burgers or music instead of things directly related to the story. While Rio Bravo has a romantic subplot it wouldn’t be anyone’s idea of a date movie, but Tarantino himself has used it as a way to measure the success of a potential romance.Tarantino Claimed He Couldn’t Date Anybody Who Hated Rio Bravo

Tarantino has said of Rio Bravo that “When I’m getting serious about a girl, I show her Rio Bravo and she better ****ing like it!” While no doubt said with tongue in cheek, he’s made no secret of his abiding love for the Wayne – who was nicknamed “Duke” – Western, and he’s watched it so often over the years he has no clue how many times he’s watched it. While introducing Rio Bravo during a screening at the Cannes Film Festival in 2007, he stated at one point in time it was his favorite movie.Getting a little more personal, Tarantino recalled that as he grew up without a father, he took to viewing Hawks’ view of “manhood” in the movie as the rules of conduct men from all walks of life should aspire to. Hawks himself would eventually make two semi-remakes of Rio Bravo with Wayne: 1966’s El Dorado and 1970’s Rio Lobo. Sadly, the latter had the opposite effect on Tarantino, who disliked Hawks’ final movie so much he used it as an example of reasons filmmakers should retire while they’re ahead.

Can you solve this puzzle?

### Puzzle Details:
1. **Frank says:** “I didn’t do it.”
2. **John says:** “Frank is lying.”
3. **Peter says:** “Frank is telling the truth.”

### Analyzing the Statements:
Let’s analyze the implications of their statements:

– If **Frank** is telling the truth (he didn’t do it):
– Then **John** is lying (since he claims Frank is lying).
– If John is lying, that means **Frank** is indeed innocent.
– **Peter** is telling the truth by claiming Frank is honest.

Thus, if Frank is telling the truth:
– Frank = Innocent
– John = Guilty (because he lied)
– Peter = Innocent

– If **Frank** is lying (he did it):
– Then **John** is telling the truth (as he says Frank is lying).
– If John is telling the truth, then Frank is indeed guilty.
– **Peter** is lying (as he claims Frank is telling the truth).

Thus, if Frank is lying:
– Frank = Guilty
– John = Innocent
– Peter = Guilty (because he lied)

### Summary of Scenarios:
1. **Frank is Innocent:** (Frank: Truth, John: Lie, Peter: Truth)
2. **Frank is Guilty:** (Frank: Lie, John: Truth, Peter: Lie)

### Conclusion:
– If Frank is innocent, John’s statement indicates he is guilty, which means Peter must be innocent.
– If Frank is guilty, then John is innocent but Peter must now be guilty.

**In both scenarios, we can determine that John cannot be guilty at the same time as Frank.**

Thus, the only consistent solution appears to be:
– **Frank is guilty.**
– **John is innocent.**
– **Peter is lying.**

Therefore, only one man is guilty, which is **Frank.**

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’.

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.”
