Why I don't like John Wayne

"Just Strap it Up, Tight" John waynes character says to the medic strapping up his boot after he sprains his ankle in his jump.- The longest day.

 

And what in the name of sam hill are you trying to say with this post?

I was prepared to come down hard on you but figured i'd give you the benefit of the doubt.

 

I think War, has now been declared! :headbonk:

 

....and what's wrong with Clint?LOL

 

Hi Col, some of these new postees, know not what they say as they don'r know the truth. I've posted many many times, the links to the two best sites on the net that are about John Wayne, and I don't know how many here have actually given either site a chance. Untill they do, and untill they decide to LEARN the truth about Duke, as far as im concerned; they are speaking with forked tongues.

The two BEST sites on the internet that are about John Wayne, and honorable about John Ford are: John Wayne (an excellent site owned by Wayne Enterprises and one of Duke's Sons-Ethan Wayne) and excellently moderated by Michael (Dakota Surfer) the second excellent site about Duke is: JWMB - The Original John Wayne Message Board! which is owned and operated by a Gent with the first name of Kevin, and moderated by many great folks i.e. Jim/Sue, Keith from England and several others.

Now if anyone wants to know the complete TRUTH about Duke and how he felt about many things-Women, politics etc, then you should take a few minutes of your time and go check into those sites. The people are very helpful and friendly-and if you decide to say something derogatory about Duke, Ford or any others, they will not hold it personally against you and will be more than willing to help you learn the truth.

I could now with things that I have learned (thanks to being a member of those sites for years DW.com and for several months JW.com) easily and truthfully, rip apart the false derogatory things said about Duke. If you don't like him-so what? no big deal. However, if you make a STUPID comment and falsity towards Duke and never even seen any of his movies-then you don't know a fragging thing what the heck your talking about and should keep your mouth closed on such a topic. This is akin to one who never votes in elections but, bitches about the wrong candidate being elected anyway.

Also, there is A~B~S~O~L~U~T~E~L~Y no reason to bash either John Ford or Duke. Also, many of the not so nifty comments and statements as fact, made by several posters (most of whom are no longer visiting or posting here) and they all are speaking about things they do not know jack crap about.

Col, this post aint aimed at you but to those (and without saying so) they know who they are.

By the way, Duke NEVER said that derogatory line-about what women should be doing. That's leftist garbage! >:-((

PS, if this lying garbage keeps going on here, I think I might enlist the aid of several from DukeWayne and a few from JohnWayne sites, to come here, register here and set the record straight. No, not a one of them will start any trouble or misbehave in any way, shape, or form. They all are adults who know how to act corectly.

Cheers, C.

 

Chuikov, I don't know whether or not to like ya, or to dislike ya. Some things you say, such as above as a prime example; stink more than all the rotten cheese in Denmark.

Doing some quick thinking while waiting for this to post, I think I now fully understand why YOU hate Duke so much? it's because Duke hated Communism and all the bad things about it.

 

I LIKE JOHN WAYNE!!!!

ok, I'm done, I just wanted to shout that!

 

Hi Scott, thanks for the support :-D

 

I know John Ford was friends with the Duke even though he was politically opposed to John Wayne's views. Early on he was a good director, although not in my top 5. Ford was a well known Leftist and Wayne a conservative. Although perhaps not as Left as Kazan and Miller. I am familiar with their backgrounds and like their movies.

Hehe...I had your avatar for along time on one of Lee's or his son's sites Warfare today

 

Hey Carl!

I don't care what the Duke haters say! He made great movies! My father and I used to sit and watch them when I was young, it's a good memory for me! In fact, I think I'll go buy a JW movie today and watch it him this weekend!

So thank you Carl!!

 

The hell he was!

 

Hi Col, heh heh, it was a miracle that Duke and Ford got along so well. Some say it was because of when they first met-what Duke did in a situation that Ford created. It's been said that Ford told Duke to do something and Duke refused so Ford either punched or kicked Duke and Duke turned around and knocked Ford on his Bass. Ford got up angry as hell and was going to fire Duke from whatever picture he was making but saw that Duke was much taller than he was and probably could knock the ship out of him if he wanted to. I think this had happened during the filming of the movie he was in as an "extra" who was going to be shown playing Football. Because Duke stood up to him (Ford) Ford had much respect for Duke for doing so, and they became fast friends. As they say, and the rest was history.

 

Thank you Scott, Gordon, im glad to see more Duke fans here.

Scott, if serious on wanting to buy a movie w/ Duke in it, go to WalMart as they have (at least at the Wms in my area) they have several of his movies always for sale. Most of what they have sell in the range of $5 bucks up to about $14 bucks. I picked up the 2 disc special they sold of: Rio Bravo. I think they currently have McLintock for $5 bucks, The Quiet Man for about $14 bucks, and Big Jake for either $5-to-$10 bucks. Anyway, these were some of the titles I saw being sold at WM just yesterday. ;-))

Hi Gordon, your quite right. Apparently Doc Raider never saw him in Sands of Iwo Jima, Stagecoach, Hondo, Allegheny Uprising, Rio Bravo, El Dorado, The Comancheros, The Longest Day, McLintock, The Alamo, Big Jake, Rio Lobo, Fort Apache, Rio Grande, The Quiet Man, The Sons of Katie Elder, In Harms Way, The Shootist, The Cowboys and most especially: "The Searchers."

Duke one his academy award for his role in: True Grit.

 

Anyone who kicks John Wayne I promise you this......

I will kick your ass in to the space shuttle cargo bay and dump you in to deep space.

 

This is somewhat offtopic but since the Duke worked with John Ford...

Where can I get a decent copy (DVD) of Ford's "Rising of the Moon"?

I got a lousy TV recording I found in ebay, but it's awfully bad, I can't understand anything people say!

The film is in three episodes, the second one is Rolling on the Floor quality

 

May I ask why?

 

Thanks Carl!!
I'll go check it out! I talked with my Father this morning and he wants to have a "Duke" movie night! So I'm pretty excited about that! It will be just like when i was a kid! I'm sure it will be fun!! I'll have to get to WM soon, to keep the movie night going!

 

Yes you may.

 

Hi Scott, sure thing and, hope the two of you relive some great memories from the past. ;-))

Also, another great source-with many many more titles offered and sometimes cheaper is @ DeepDiscount.com - DVDs, Blu-ray, HD DVD, CDs, Books, Video Games and more Im placing another order tomorrow-sicne that's when Merrill's Marauders is being released ;-D
