I write that in the spirit of fun, my friend. There’s not a place on inhabited Earth that doesn’t have its share of drama. But, geez Louise! Those are some stories!

@thecarpathian , oh my, I hope you didn't interpret my long winded reply as being antagonistic or defensive. As I started typing I just kept thinking of more and more reasons a realistic and believable drama could be set in Montana that would be interesting for the viewer. But I am likely not be a good barometer for what the average viewer wants to watch. A River Runs Through It was supposed to be set in the Missoula. The Horse Whisper was supposed to be set somewhere in Montana. Legends of The Fall was supposed to be set someplace in Montana. None of these are on my personal list of favorite movies, and none of them are as action packed as Yellowstone, but I find all of them way more watchable because they are actually believable. But again: sorry for the long winded reply. I did not intend to type it in an aggressive tone if that is how it came across. |
Ha ha! When I was going off with that litany of reasons that I find Yellowstone to be a total waste, I forgot to mention the completely unbelievable portrayal that Kelly Reilly does of John Dutton's (Kevin Costner') daughter. Oh Em Gee but that is bad! (There actually is a tiny town in Montana named Dutton. Not even one red light in that one. It's a bit north of Great Falls on I 15. I guess the town's namesake had something to do with the rail road way back when; I am kind of surprised that Yellowstone hasn't found a way to credit that to their fictional John Dutton.) |
