1883 ain't no Yellowstone!

My bride found a hugely discounted rate to subscribe to paramount+. We decided it might be worth .99 to see a few more episodes of the Yellowstone prequel. While we enjoy the story line and the character development, we both feel like we'll go nuts if we have to listen to another hour of the promiscuous Elsa's dramatic, poetic musings, delivered in that fake southern accent. We're both convinced that Elsa will jump the wagon train near Denver, and make her fortune as the star attraction at Madame Orr's house of ill repute. Now we know, at least, that Beth Dutton came by her nasty nature through pure genetics.😏
Arrivederci gigi

Agree 100%.
I liked both 1883 and Yellowstone. Although, I don’t know if I can take another season of the sister on Yellowstone. Somebody needs to take that gal to the “train station.”
NOBODY'S man enough to take Beth where she don't wanna go! 😉
I watched 1 1/2 episodes of Yellowstone. Call me picky, but I found it silly and unreal. Here is what I learned from watching:
Those, and Costner's character is a Mafia Don in a Carhartt jacket.
Costner should be ashamed.
Barry Corbin should REALLY be ashamed. He was apparently conned into accepting a tiny bit part. At least he didn't have to travel far for it.
So, what you're subtly trying to say is, you WON'T be among those breathlessly waiting for the new season of Yellowstone ??
Basically, it’s Sons of Anarchy….just with horses instead of motorcycles.
And you are right. Everything about the plot is completely ridiculous. Shoot, they kill about 10 people per episode!
yellow stone show to me I kind of like it
however what it says to me , lots of money =lots of power =do what ever you want , pay off Politian's , judges and kill any one in your way and move on
like a tame version of the klintons LOL
1883 I started watching the first couple episode's and have not made it back to see any of the later shows no real thoughts on it now
Never seen either show but that fake southern bell you describe sounds a lot like Mrs. Louise Pendrake from "Little Big Man." Faye Dunaway could get away with about anything back then! She was so hot!
As you can see, I'm not at all up to date with these current shows but still live in that past place I greatly prefer!
Is it fair then, to judge being a real lawman in Texas by watching Walker Texas Ranger?
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
Although I have a cousin playing a small role in it, I won't watch it because most of the actors (like Tim McGraw) are gun hating libs, who don't mind taking money to carry a gun, even if they don't know a trigger from a pitchfork.
The trespassing bikers was great .
"Is it fair then, to judge being a real lawman in Texas by watching Walker Texas Ranger?"
Hardly. No Texas Ranger has a beard or a mustache.
(I used an adjective to describe hair on the face, and the auto-censor turned it to a *.)
I like 1883 so far. Yes you have to endure the modern day politically correct BS where every man of color is capable and good and only white people can be bad. I think all movies are going to be like that for the foreseeable future.
That's not new. Mark Twain rarely, maybe never, portrayed black people as small-minded, selfish, or evil. Those attributes were reserved for whites, and for a reason. Slavery was a real deal, and Twain was opposed to it.
I always laugh at how "The bad guys" are always willing to fight to the death to the last man over anything (Then again this is true for most movies.) Not one says to himself "I didn't sign on for this" and just runs away. The immigrants are not from Europe 1883 but Europe 1983 since they have no clue as to how to do anything. They came on a boat but have a U-haul truck amount of furniture. They had to get a cook to butcher a cow but he can't even take the back strap off a deer. The daughter sleeps with anyone at a time with no birth control when out of wedlock pregnancies were an extreme burden and more than frowned upon and the parents don't seem to care. I guess Tim at least got a horse as payment to pimp his daughter to an Indian. It's more than a little silly but my wife likes it so I'll watch and read a book at the same time.
"Madame Orr's house of ill repute" - Support Your Local Sheriff was the funniest western spoof until Blazing Saddles, came along and captured the title. IMO
I always said that place was a gold mine
great show and its twin support your local gun fighter
1883 summary
hire big name actors . Pay them to use the f word every other sentence .
substitute scenery and action for a plot .
mix in a few decent one liner wisdoms about the general direction downwards of the entire country ; all the while capitalizing on said country’s insatiable appetite for sex, violence , and filthy language .
cash checks from above series and parent series and buy one of the biggest, most respected , ranches in all of Texas .
I’ve seen every episode of every season if both shows ; and am embarrassed to consider myself a Christian and not stuck to my initial decision to turn it off
my sister lives less than one mile from the “Dutton ranch “ and we have ridden our horses in the hills behind there and looked down on it before the show made it famous .
country’s insatiable appetite for sex, violence , and filthy language . ... works every time, always has, always will !

I'm sure their Thank You card is in the mail ... 😆😆😆
I was rooting for the bikers.
