I'm always curious when folks say something like "IMO it stunk like stagnant canal water" but offer no remarks to explain the opinion. Not that it's required of course.
I was bored too often, it all seemed slow to develop, the plot was plodding. The people ...Clooney , his boss his traveling tramp girl friend were all just a little bit TOO clever and witty and quick to be real.
The entire premise that a huge company that fired people was going to go on line but changed once a person committed suicide was tough to believe as was the entire movie.
Lonesome dove was a masterpiece and Duvall was the best I have ever seen him before and since.
Just out of curiosity, anyone here who really loved Lonesome Dove ever read the book? And if so, did you think it was a masterpiece too? I did. I'm not a big fan of Larry McMurtry books, but that one was a great book.
