#duck you sucker!

[cansoc]

Watched A Fistful of Dynamite (Aka Duck, you Sucker! Aka Once Upon a Time...in the Revolution Aka Giù la testa) recently and I'm surprised that this site hasn't turned James Coburn as John into a Tumblr Sexyman.

He has all the qualifications:

Tall, Irish and Sad

Involved in a weird homoerotic polyamourus relationship

Blows shit up

sooooooo

wasn't expecting that

"you taught me one thing" "what?" "how to get FUCKED"

Why did Sergio Leone give an Irish character the gimmick of blowing up stuff and being handy with dynamite? Why did he have him explode a cart? Why was the Irish character's death scene him exploding himself??? What was Sergio cooking??????

Nothing like the whole "Machine gun date" in order to strength a blooming relationship.

Love how happy they look, even Niño (in his insides)

If anyone wants to even come close to understanding my brainrot and my love for Sergio Leone westerns I need you to at the very least watch Once Upon a Time in the West.

The Dollars Trilogy (Fistful of Dollars, A Few Dollars More, The Good The Bad & The Ugly) is fantastic but imo best if you can watch them one after the other (not necessarily back-to-back) but you gotta make sure you watch them in order throughout a month or week like you gotta make plans to see how Sergio's style evolves and the themes that are layered and added to each one

Duck, You Sucker! (aka Fistful of Dynamite or Once Upon a Time in the Revolution) arguably imo his best work? Don't even fuckin think about it before watching his previous. Its pure brain rot for me ots good and emotional and his final western and a love letter but also a hateful spit in the face of the Zapata Western genere while ironically being an amazing Zapata western itself.

But OUATIW? Its all those distilled into one movie. It has many of my fav aspects of each and Sergio's little touches (His use of silence scenes, the lowkey tension & horror of the West, Meals as a symbol for character relations, Eyes as the camera)

Its one you can pick up and put down.and walkway from without too bad brain rot (tho i guarantee you'll never hear harmonica in the same way again)

For various reasons I am currently trying to patch together the logistics of a zukka Fistful of Dynamite AU and currently it's held together by the concept of Zuko turning to Sokka with a sly smile and saying "Duck, you sucker!" before he blows something up.

Which is a good concept to start with, I think.

Giù la testa, Sergio Leone, 1971

[almeriamovies]

Torre de los Alumbres

Watch tower near Rodalquilar built in 1509, appears in:

“Morvern Callar” by Lynne Ramsay (2002)

"All the King's Men" by julian Jarrold (1999)

“A Fistful of Dynamite” aka Duck, You Sucker (Giù la testa) by Sergio Leone (1971)

Today we still find traces of Leone's sets to transform the tower into a Mexican church, a false bell tower was built to be dynamited in the film

The happiest of birthdays in the afterlife to Sergio Leone! After my Father and Sam Peckinpah, Leone influences me daily!
