Decided to introduce a couple of people to Open Range tonight. The Kevin Costner / Robert Duvall masterpiece from 2003 thats my favourite western of the 21st century.
With no disc on hand we watching a streaming version and the film came to a halt because of a poor internet signal not once, not twice but eleven fucking times. Most of which, of course, happened during that brilliant shootout at the end, killing the momentum of the film.
Its a fucking heartbreaker and part of why I'll keep buying physical media until I can't anymore. When you're at the mercy of an internet signal you never know when it's all going to go tits up and when it does it will invariably be at the best part of the film.
Costner had the right idea. Walk up to it and shoot it in the head.
