don't forget the car washing scene.

Great movie - thanks for the head's up, Matt.

I'll be watching "Justified" though instead.

Enjoy!

Boiled egg scene is classic.....

matt f 04-02-2013 05:14 PM

I'll catch "Justified" at 1am then be a bear in the morning.
My favorite show of the last 3 years.
Raylon gets some sweet azz!

Baz, no spoilers!

Thanks Matt. Most folks get Strother's quote wrong." What we have is failure to communicate" I believe that is the correct quote.

Please don't show the after photos of her. It will totally ruin the scene tonight. Tia

Most add an "a" before "failure to communicate."
Good catch Mark.
The scene is in the video Baz provided above.

Oh OK. I didn't watch it as I'm taping the movie! A serious classic. I believe LRP named one of the straight aways after Mr. Newman.

And his accent was nigh terrible. I'm not sure who he was trying to imitate, but FL swamp rats was one he missed by a mile.

Thanks Baz, but that doesn't do justice to the entire scene. The Director, Stuart Rosenberg
was a genius.

All I can say is this episode was (for me anyway) one of the best all season. :cool:

Harry Dean Stanton singing "A closer walk"
What a movie!

My opinion? I think the best scenes from CHL appear between the opening credits and the closing credits. This is one of the few movies where every scene is a classic, and everyone on the set totally stepped up and did their job to the best of their abilities... (My humble opinion)

matt f 04-03-2013 01:07 PM

Agree 100%.
Goes from great scene to great scene.
The end of the egg eating contest when Newman is supine on the table, arms 90 degrees to the side like Christ on the cross is fabulous. He even has his one leg flexed.
Hugh nailed it, the director is a genius.
