This 2015 Kurt Russell Movie Is A Stealth John Wayne Remake (Before Turning Into A Horror Movie) – My Blog

SUMMARY

 Kurt Russell’s Bone Tomahawk plays like a stealth remake of John Wayne’s The Searchers. Russell previously starred in TV Western The Quest, itself an unofficial Searchers riff. Bone Tomahawk shows the violence that was impossible to depict in Wayne’s The Searchers.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY


A Kurt Russell Western from 2015 is a secret remake of John Wayne’s The Searchers. While the genre itself was largely out of fashion during his movie star heyday, Kurt Russell has still become a Western icon of sorts. This is largely thanks to playing Wyatt Earp in 1993’s Tombstone, which has become a classic over the years. In 2015, he returned to the genre once again with The Hateful Eight, which was Quentin Tarantino’s dark Western about a group of violent strangers trapped together in a snowy cabin.
Even the likes of Russell’s sci-fi actioner Soldier is a Western in disguise, with the story being a thinly veiled riff on Shane. In short, Kurt Russell Westerns are always a great time, and it’s a pity there aren’t more to go around. His return to the genre post-Tombstone was actually Bone Tomahawk, which is two parts a Western and one part a graphic horror movie.

Bone Tomahawk Plays Like A Remake Of John Wayne’s The SearchersThe 2015 movie shares much in common with the John Wayne classicJohn Wayne’s The Searchers is regarded by everyone from George Lucas to Martin Scorsese as one of the best Westerns ever. This 1956 adventure sees Wayne’s bitter, racist Civil War vet Ethan pairing with his nephew on a years-long odyssey to find his kidnapped niece. The movie is a good deal darker than most Westerns from the era and features arguably Wayne’s greatest work as a performer. The Searchers and Bone Tomahawk share the same basic story, where a kidnapping sets off a rescue attempt that only leads to more violence.
Bone Tomahawk is available to stream on Hulu.
In Bone Tomahawk, a doctor’s assistant named Samantha (Lili Simmons) is snatched by a clan of cannibals, so Russell’s sheriff and Samantha’s husband Arthur (Patrick Wilson) head out to find her. The film lacks the scope and grandeur of The Searchers but likewise finds a mismatched group of men forced to work together against a threat they don’t fully understand. While Russell’s Hunt is the main character, he’s not a straight port of Wayne’s character. Instead, Ethan’s prejudices are handed over to Matthew Fox’s gunfighter Brooder, who is the kind of man who humblebrags about how many Native Americans he’s killed.
Bone Tomahawk Shows The Violence That Was Impossible In Wayne’s FilmThis Kurt Russell Western has harrowing scenes of bloodshed

Bone Tomahawk almost uses its Searchers template to lull audiences into a false sense of security. The journey is filled with dangers, but it also takes time to hang out with its main characters, so when it moves into horror in the final act, it hits much harder. There’s one gruesome sequence in Bone Tomahawk that’s especially infamous and with good reason. In a sense, the film can show the kinds of violence The Searchers had to refrain from.The John Ford/John Wayne Western might lack overt gore or depictions of violence, but it’s still unremittingly dark. The discovery of Ethan’s destroyed family farm and vague descriptions of the corpses left behind are disturbing in their own right, while Ethan later shoots out the eyes of a Comanche corpse. Ethan claims that without eyes, the man’s soul is doomed to wander the desert alone. If this scene was in Bone Tomahawk, there’s no doubt director S. Craig Zahler wouldn’t have shown the eyes exploding in gory detail.
Back in 1956, restrictions on screen violence made it impossible for The Searchers to show the events that instead happen offscreen. More than likely, Wayne himself – who had a noted distaste for bloodshed in movies – wouldn’t have allowed them to be shown anyway. In 2015, the only real limit to what can be depicted is a filmmaker’s imagination. Bone Tomahawk isn’t a gorefest or loaded with violent scenes, but when they arrive, they’re unflinching.
Kurt Russell ALREADY Starred In A Stealth Searchers RemakeHis 1970s Western show wore its influences on its sleeves

Funnily enough, Bone Tomahawk isn’t Kurt Russell’s first unofficial Searchers remake. In 1976, he and Tim Matheson co-starred as brothers in The Quest, a Western show where their characters set out to rescue their kidnapped sister. Russell’s Morgan was also held by the Cheyenne for years and has an insight into Native American culture. Each week, the brothers would get into misadventures, but the show itself arrived at a time when the genre was waning, so it only lasted one season.
The fact The Quest was up against Charlie’s Angels in the ratings didn’t help its chances. Like Bone Tomahawk, The Quest wore its influences on its sleeves, with Matheson himself once telling TV Insider “We basically took John Wayne’s movie The Searchers and remade it as a TV show.” Sadly, the show ended before the brothers found their lost sibling, though since both stars are still working, who’s to save a belated sequel couldn’t happen?

Woman Attempting To Sleep With One Person From Every Country Shares The Worst Nationality In Bed

A woman has opened up about her sexual escapades and which country had the best (and worst) lovers

An adult entertainer who has slept with men from all over the world has spilled the tea on her worst and best lovers (so far).

Adult entertainer Coco Bae has slept with men from over 40 countries and counting.

Some of these include America, Canada, the UK, Israel, Australia, Haiti, and Coco wants to eventually cover all 195 countries.

As her mission continues, the adult star has been ‘collecting flags’ from each nationality she’s slept with to keep track of her sexual escapades.

“My rules are to count the country on his passport, not where the dude happens to be living at the time of our encounter,” she said.

Listing off the countries she’s ‘visited’ (if you get me), Coco went on to tell PerthNow:

“I’ve had men from America, Canada, the UK, Israel, Australia, Haiti, El Salvador, Holland, Norway, Greece, France, Belgium, Germany, Denmark, Ireland, Belize, Djibouti, Nicaragua, Italy, Guatemala, Switzerland and Argentina.”

“And then Honduras, Costa Rica, Thailand, Russia, Columbia? I’m not sure. Albania, Brazil. India, Spain, Peru, Lebanon, Algeria, Croatia, Serbia. Armenia, Scotland, Ukraine and New Zealand.” Impressive.

Coco also answered the question on everyone’s minds: which countries have so far been the best and worst in bed?

According to the adult star, Latinos are the most ‘intense’ in bed.

“My lovers from Brazil were the most enjoyable to be with,” she said.

“They were just up for having fun, whichever way it happens.”

Coco also revealed that men from more conservative countries are quite experimental when it comes to sex.

“Many of the conservative cultures enjoy the most ‘out there’ acts. For example, I have come across many Arab and Indian dudes who really like booty action in various forms,” said Coco.

As for the worst country in bed, apparently her most boring partners have been from Germany.

While they weren’t the best, Coco did praise German men being eager to please and how they apparently ask for feedback.

She also chatted to Australian radio hosts Kyle and Jackie O, where she shared what her experiences with Aussie men has been like.

“Australian men need to step it up a little bit,” she shared.

“You’re just not putting in any effort. And you need to wash your hands.”

Speaking of how much she loves a tradesman – a popular vocation in Australia – Coco encouraged guys to make sure they ‘scrub behind their fingernails’.

A fair point, if you ask me.

Kanye West Shares Provocative Video Of Wife Bianca In Bed And Fans Can’t Stop Pointing Out How Big It Is

It’s pretty common for Kanye West to post photos of his wife, Bianca Censori, and for fans to go wild over them.

The ‘Golddigger’ rapper has shared a lot of pictures and videos of his Australian wife.

These range from her daring, barely-there outfits to her strange, all-in-one body stockings.

Kanye is also known for making bold comments to get attention, like speaking out against critics.

Recently, the couple has stirred up even more buzz with a new social media post.

They shared a video from their bedroom, and there’s one detail that fans just can’t stop talking about.

On Instagram, Kanye posted a video showing Bianca lying on a bed surrounded by pillows.

She was dressed in all white, including white heels and a tight-fitting outfit.

It looked like she was on her phone, not paying much attention to Kanye, who was breathing heavily behind the camera.

The fans overlooked Bianca’s outfit and focused on the enormous size of the bed she was on.

It looked twice the size of a Super King bed, with enough room for more than five pillows.

One fan commented, “Bed can fit 5 [families] with 6 individuals.”

Another added, “It’s gotta be a nightmare trying to find a fitted sheet for that!”

A third fan mentioned that the huge bed resembled the one from Kanye’s 2016 music video for ‘Famous’.

Kanye soon deleted the video without giving any reason.

Even though the video is no longer available, Kanye is no stranger to sharing provocative content featuring his wife, whether in revealing outfits or suggestive poses.

Bianca seems to be on board with her husband’s posts.

However, not everyone is thrilled, especially her father, who has previously voiced his concerns about the content.

According to a source speaking to DailyMail.com, Bianca’s father, Leo, has asked Kanye to meet with him to talk about the explicit content being shared.

The source said, “Kanye has been invited to go to Australia, and Bianca is hesitant to allow this to happen because she knows how her father will react.”

“Her dad still plans to have a sit-down with Kanye, and Leo will not be intimidated by Kanye’s power or control. No one is expecting this to be all rainbows and family portraits.”

Despite this, Bianca is reportedly more than happy to go along with her husband’s ideas.

An insider told PageSix, “People are confusing Bianca’s creativity. She is a phenomenal personality, a phenomenal actor, who can entertain the public.”

“She’s a performance artist. Bianca is as much a performer as Ye is.”

Bianca and Kanye have been married since 2022, following Kanye’s high-profile split and divorce from his ex-wife, Kim Kardashian. Kanye has four children with Kim: North, Saint, Chicago, and Psalm.

Singer turns 58, people barely recognize Samantha Fox

If you are someone who was attuned to the celebrity scene in the 1980s, then you might remember Samantha Fox. She started out as a model, and by the end, her career had led to her becoming a musician.

While she was incredibly famous at one point, she is not in the mainstream these days. She was at one point the most photographed woman in the UK.

Keep reading to learn more about it.

From days when she was a staple on page 3 to then becoming a globally recognized music star, Samantha Fox is still loved by millions around the world. She was born in North London on April 15, 1966. She was born to parents were Carole Fox and Patrick Fox. She had a younger sister named Vanessa, who sadly passed away in 2023.

Her mother, Carole Ann was an actress, and father, John Patrick was a carpenter. They were married from 1965 to 1988. Her mother passed away 2013, while her father passed in 2000.

Samantha Fox began her career when she entered a modeling competition when she was 16 years old. Her mother entered her in the Sunday People’s ‘Face and Shape of 1983’ competition. She ended up being one of the finalists, and the photographer was impressed by her ‘unusual’ proportions and natural beauty.

He said, “face of a child and the body of a woman”, and told her to do some topless shots. She agreed, and that lead to her becoming a regular Page 3 girl in The Sun newspaper from 1983 to 1986.

In the 1980s, she was one of the most photographed people in the UK, and in 1986, she began her music career.

She debuted with her single Touch Me (I Want Your Body) which helped her shoot to fame. She then released more songs like Naughty Girls and more all of which only increased her celebrity. In her personal life, she had her fair share of problems, including a legal battle with her father over mismanagement of her earnings.

Despite all of the issues in her personal life, she wanted to make sure she still released music throughout it. She was always a big advocate for the LGBTQIA+, having married Linda Olsen in 2022. Now at 58 years old, she is still busy in her career.

Over the years she has had several transformations. Her talent has helped her persevere and reinvent herself. Samantha Fox initially started out as a model with a provocative image.

She remained active in the 1980s and 1990s. Apart from her music, she has made appearances in films and TV shows. She also participated in reality TV over the years.

Her father oversaw her career until she found out that he had taken more than £1 million from her income. She decided to pursue legal action against him in 1991. She won the lawsuit in 1995 and received a settlement of £363,000. The two of them never reconciled and he passed away in 2000.

In 1988, she received a nomination for Best British Female Artist at the Brit Awards. She collaborated with other artists which include the legends Freddie Mercury. She is even working on music now, releasing her latest album in 2023 produced by Ian Masterson.

She married her Norwegian wife, Linda Olsen in 2022 in a ceremony in Essex. The couple had been engaged since February 2020. They met at a concert and Olsen was a fan of the singer. They now live together in East London with Olsen’s son Adam and their two pet cats.

Before marrying Olsen, the singer had dated many people which included men and women. She dated the infamous Peter Foster in the 1980s but did not accept his proposal. She publicly came out as gay in 2003. At the time she made her relationship with then-manager Myra Stratton public. The couple were together for 16 years until Stratton passed due to cancer in 2015.

Samantha Fox later revealed she knew she was gay but did not want to admit it because of the stigma surrounding it.

Fox has said that she knew she was gay before meeting Stratton, but she was afraid to admit it because of the stigma and the pressure from the media.

She described herself as a “very happy woman” who is “very much in love” with Olsen.

It is wonderful to see how Samatha Fox is doing these days. Share this with other fans of the singer so they can see what she has been up to.
