Cool Hand Luke

Right, but it's just all kinds of...

So this is kind of like Cool Hand Luke in space.

How's it going, buddy? He doesn't like you.

I don't like you

Paul Newman is the dude.

What's the favourite movie? Cool Hand Luke.

Yeah.

Yeah.

That's an awesome one.

I love that one.

The cool hand Luke when he's eating the eggs, but also when he's out on the road game, the guy goes, what we got here is a situation.

What we got here, boss, is a situation.

just if you put that into play everything goes out the window

totally so it's it's the wild west and that is what i loved about this movie was that it had all these like stylistic choices that were very like old school western vibes um i'm not like the most educated on those types of movies but um it did remind me a bit of cool hand luke i will say He kind of has, like, a Paul Newman vibe, I think.

Oh, absolutely.

Right? That was a percent,

An over-days-long trek through the mountains Murphy's faced with tempestuous rivers, punishing weather, and betrayal by his fellow prisoners.

After directing the 2022 Paul Newman docuseries The Last Movie Stars, Hawke, age 55, was eager to make his own movie in the vein of Newman's Hud and Cool Hand Luke.

I really wanted to play an old-fashioned manifestation of masculinity at its finest, Hawk says.

My grandfather was a Depression-era kid who knew about everything.

I think it's like having two leading men in a movie.

It's like Cool Hand Luke.

You've got to have a support actor.

You can't have two leading men.

There are two great songs on this album, ones that have resonated through time and still stand out as the best here every time they come on.

The album opener, Civil War, is a classic, with its opening monologue taken from the movie Cool Hand Luke, the moody start to the hard and emotional ride beyond.

It is one of the songs that shows the other side to Guns N' Roses, not just the crass and pissed-off side, the one where the band's lifestyle comes through in the lyrics.

Civil War shows a mature side, a meaningful side to the band's songwriting, and for me, it is one of their best songs as a result.

Axl Rose's performance on the track is fabulous.

The other great song on the album is You Could Be Mine, which found its way into the movie, but not the soundtrack, of Terminator 2 Judgment Day, and it too shows the technical side of the band and its musicians.

It is a heavy, rollicking song that reaches for the pinnacle and tests the limits of any singer's vocal cords.

I can guarantee that from personal experience.
