Jeff Bridges minus his britches.

Nothing really happened for most of the movie (almost slice-of-life-like) until the final 15 minutes. Jeff Bridges played an asshole at his parents' house really well. Charlene Dallas didn't really need to blow Harry Dean Stanton and it didn't feel like a natural progression. Maybe I'm not counterculture enough to sympathize with the leads. Didn't realize Jimmy Buffett looked like that. Fav scene: Slim Pickens getting super excited about identifying a buffalo rifle round.

Terrific individual performances within a handful of powerfully comic yet understated scenes, but the film as a whole is not quite the sum of its parts. Not really sure how well this addresses "old west vs. new west" but the ending seemed a little too neat and tidy for my satisfaction. May need a few more viewings on this one; seems to flirt with greatness, but lacks something I can't put my finger on.

This film is mostly boring. It is unfortunate because it has a lot of talented actors in the cast. There are a few interesting moments and I liked the scene in the bar with the 2 characters playing Pong. Overall this film is disappointing.

can't believe the all-time best video game scene is in a movie from 1975.

A great cast makes this film really shine and some individual scenes work surprisingly well (I love the diner scene with Slim Pickens and of course the "She's so carefree....just like Bambi" scene with H.D.Stanton).
