This story has the potential to be a great movie. I am looking forward to it opening soon.
Reading about Newt, he seems like my kind of fella.

I believe this was mentioned in the chat box a few weeks ago. Should be a good film.
@Mudwall - Did you see this flick? Thoughts? I just finished it.
I always just figured that was you in your profile pic.
That looks badass. How did I miss this? Did it go to the theaters? Where is it now?

Yes, it was in the theaters, I saw it and i give it 3 stars. Enjoyable, a bit over the top, but that's entertainment!
Looks like you can stream it on Amazon for a few bucks...

Mudz®, what's the book you read on Newt? I'd like to check it out if it's any good.
I watched the movie on DVD from redbox a few weeks back. I thought it was well made & Matthew McConaughey was good in it. Not sure when I started liking his stuff, maybe around True Detective, but he's done some good roles lately.

I've seen the movie several times, have a copy. It ain't bad; I simply like the message. I often wonder if I would have had the balls to stand up for my beliefs against such coercion. Newt seemed to have the cojones, if the history is true. Piss on those cracker-assed treasonous rebels!!
I watched it on Amazon.
Anybody seen "Gold?" McConaughey again. It was interesting.
I must admit, I didn't open up this thread when it was first posted. I thought it was Mudwall talking about Newts. Glad I opened it up.

Probably not. You want to own a bass boat. That is all I needed to know to answer that question.

No. Good?
How about the other monosyllabic movie he was in - Mud?

I need to see it again. I can't remember lots of it.
"The Sea of Trees"
IIRC it moves pretty slow. Kind of like, well, mud.
