Title: 24 hours of SW's on Encore Westerns, Thanksgiving
Post by: Poggle on November 15, 2006, 08:51:20 PM: 8)

I was watching A Man Called Sledge and, shortly before I turned it off for being completely uninteresting, it was advertised on the bottom of the screen.

Post by: boardwalk_angel on November 15, 2006, 09:22:59 PM: Thanks for the head up..Poggle...this is the schedule:

Thursday, Nov. 23 12:00AM ET 100 Rifles
2:00AM ET My Name Is Nobody
4:00AM ET The Relentless Four
5:40AM ET Roy Colt And Winchester Jack
7:15AM ET The Longest Hunt
8:50AM ET Vengeance
10:40AM ET A Minute To Pray, A Second To Die
12:30PM ET Death Rides A Horse
2:35PM ET 100 Rifles
4:35PM ET The Big Gundown
6:15PM ET A Man Called Sledge
8:00PM ET My Name Is Nobody
10:00PM ET Death Rides A Horse

The last time they showed Roy Colt And Winchester Jack, it was letterboxed , in Italian w/English subs.

Death Rides A Horse, & The Big Gundown have always been shown panned & scanned.

My Name Is Nobody should be widescreen.

The others are probably panned & scanned...that's Encore's usual M.O.

Ah well doesn't much matter any how. "Seen Roy colt and winchester Jack" and HATE IT. In fact I never finished it.

The only thing on that schedule I haven't seen, and I hear is excellent, is the "Relentless Four" (or am I thinking of the "Ruthless Four" that is the supposed "excellent" one?).

"100 rifles" isn't even a spaghetti western so I don't know why that is even on there.

EDIT: HOLY CRAP! I missed the "Longest Hunt" (shoot gringo shoot) when reading the schedule.

I have been dying to see that!

It was directed by Bruno Corbucci (sergio's brother) and is supposed to be really good!

CJ, ANGEL POGGLE...you must catch that. Tape it if possible!!!!!!

ah you have seen it eh...

Did you review it? I don't recall you doing so.

Post by: boardwalk_angel on November 16, 2006, 01:57:34 AM: Yeah..it is pretty good..."Spara..Gringo..Spara."

"The Relentless Four"...not to be confused..in any way, shape, or form, with "The Ruthless Four", which is quite good........is an utterly dreadful Primo Zeglio vehicle starring Batman (Adam West). My review--> pungently yucky.
Title: Thanksgiving Day Spaghetti Festival
Post by: Cusser on November 20, 2006, 11:56:42 AM: Thanksgiving Day Spaghetti Festival, all day on U.S. Encore Westerns cable. Most likely not letterboxed, includes Big Gundown, Death Rides a Horse, A Minute to Pray, A second to Die...others..

Post by: The Firecracker on November 30, 2006, 02:26:02 PM: anybody enjoy any of these?

Post by: The Peacemaker on November 30, 2006, 02:46:56 PM: As I've said before, I taped The Longest Hunt for Firecracker and watched it.

I thought it was horrible.

But I did enjoy the first 15 minutes of Vengeance immensely.
