The Hatfields and McCoys

[Brando19]

Anyone watching this mini series on History? Very cool. If you haven't seen it, you should give it a chance. Kevin Costner's best role, in my opinion.

Bunch of inbred Whiteys? Could be about all you MFers.

I will have to check it out but dammit Costner better not have gills or be a postman.

It's a good one. Bill Paxton is a great actor. I don't like "Gillman" either, but he does a great job in this pretty close to true mini-series.

ditto it is good, lots of interesting characters

[Tony Oday]

Good way to spend 6 hours for sure. Costner was better as a fish, err post, err body, err Robin, err...yeah this is one of his best.

I saw it advertised... was thinking of checking it out; but skeptical of historical accuracy.

Will research the real story a bit, then watch... hollywood usually takes too many liberties. It does look pretty good though.

Costner sucks. If he's finally decided to suck moderately less than normal, then this has a chance.

LOL...the only movie of his I've ever really enjoyed was the baseball one....Bull Durham?

[Brando19]

I agree...Kevin Costner sucks. But this is his second movie he hasn't sucked in...the first being Open Range.

Bull Durham was pretty damn good as I remember it. Don't know if it has held up over time.

I did like Costner in "Avatar with Indians and Bison". Shit, I really can't remember the name of that movie.......

[Freak Out]

Wait....Dances with Wolves was lame. Tin Cup was ok though.

I was thinking the same but it could be an empty vessel with not a lot of totally accurate information available. They were hillbillies after all.

Wist, I'll tell ya, when you find the "true" story, be sure to let everybody know. So much of the story of this and other feuds has been surpressed and altered. These people were engaged in criminal activity. Some of the participants lived until the 1950's. They were guilty of capital offenses and there is no statute of limitation on murder, then and now. What the real deal was never came out in a lot of situations.

That said, it is a hell of a show.

And I'm the resident cynic??

A couple of editing misques aside, my favorite Costner movie has to be "Mr. Brooks".

My hat goes off to the serial killer who knows he has a problem, and attends a 12 step program to try and deal with it... but alas, addictions can be tough to overcome

As the leader of the Hatfield clan, Kevin Costner doesn't 'SUCK' in this 3 part mini series. I enjoyed the first episode immensely.The complaint I have is why delay it over 15 days instead of three nights? It's almost as long as the feud.

Bill Paxton as the leader of the McCoy's is always good. The characterization is excellent and the way the feud is developed is fascinating.
