YES!!tragabigzanda wrote:I was a HUGE fan of Young Guns as a kid. Probably the single movie I watched more than any others from about 1989-1993. So I was very tickled by the ending of the finale, watching her stumble out of the chest like that. I’ve thought many times how poorly that would play out in real life.

Re: The Righteous Gemstones (HBO)
I wonder what the budget is for these episodes. One of the things I'm loving about the show is how cinematic every episode feels in everything from cinematography to production design (some of these sets are insane) and even action scenes

Re: The Righteous Gemstones (HBO)
Have they announced if they are doing another season?
I hate ranking, but got to thinking about all of the characters I have ranked above McBride's character:
Judy Gemstone
Eli Gemstone
BJ
Keefe
Baby Billy
Jesse Gemstone
Tiffany
Kelvin Gemstone
Amber Gemstone

Re: The Righteous Gemstones (HBO)
I finished season 2 today. That's the fastest I've gone through a show in a long while. Really loved it.
Also, I enjoyed the finale but was disappointed with one thing
