    Always a pleasure to see my boy Max Zhang move on screen! Here in THE OLD WAY / 命悬一枪 (Fan Xiang, 2025) on iQIYI. Crazy that his last great (mainstream) film was Yuen's MASTER Z in 2018. Man needs to make a big comeback as a leading action star.

    THE OLD WAY: A screenplay is a blueprint for a production. THE NEW WAY: The screenplay promises what the movie can be. My goal for a spec script is to evoke the emotional experience of seeing the film on screen. That's how I get the reader excited about the possibilities. #scriptsky

    My only relevant hot take here is that the John Wayne True Grit is inferior to the Jeff Bridges True Grit Also, The Old Way is both a fascinating western and a great Nic Cage movie ... look I just agree with this an also wanted an excuse to talk about Westerns cus it's a genre stuck in Purity Hell

    Rewatched A CIASCUNO IL SUO (1967) aka We Still Kill the Old Way. The closest thing to a Gian Maria Volonté comfort film I have. It’s just a great thriller from Elio Petri. Less satirical than his later films. And I love Irene Papas. I wish she and Volonté had made 10 films together.

    Watched #TheOldWay 🎬 Nicolas Cage's first Western, if you can believe it, with Ryan Kiera Armstrong (Skeleton Crew) playing his daughter. There's nothing exactly remarkable, apart from some John Wick parallels and Clint Howard playing your typical Clint Howard character. Just okay. #filmsky

    Great film. Elio Petri is totally under-appreciated and influential. ‘Investigation of a Citizen Under Suspicion’, ‘The Working Class Goes to Heaven’, ‘Property is No Longer A Theft’, ‘The 10th Victim’, ‘Todo Modo’, ‘We Still Kill The Old Way’. Great films.

    @malickfan.bsky.social I ended up watching We Still Kill the Old Way last night. Brilliant film. Very close to a masterpiece. A really wry dark comedy, but quite nasty serious crime film. Not seen many other Italian films like it. Felt more like a Claude Chabrol film than anything else.

    Tonight's Nicolas Cage movie is The Old Way which is a drastic improvement as far as Cage westerns over Butcher's Crossing. Kind of wish Cage would do a couple more westerns now.

    My aunt and I have completed the Old Way of the #GreatWhoPilgrimage. The movie wasn't great but it was nowhere near as bad as I remembered it. Next is the True Great Pause. In it rests "The Curse of Fatal Death" and "The Sirens Of Time", and possibly the other 49 free audios. And then, "Rose".

    23. The Old Way This movie wasn't TERRIBLE but it was predictable. THAT DOESN'T MAKE A MOVIE BAD. It was a serviceable enough western revenge tale that made the brilliant decision of casting Clint Howard as a Gabby Hayes type. Absolutely inspired choice. I didnt have a lot of hope but it was ok!

    This will have been the second movie I've watched this month starring Clint Howard. He was also in The Old Way, with Nicolas Cage. His father, Rance Howard, appears in the final moments of Amy Holden Jones's Love Letters.

    The wifi went down at the house yesterday, so it took three hours to watch the 95-minute The Old Way. One scene almost took me completely out of the movie, and could have been cut. Otherwise, not bad. Another decent, low budget, indie Western.

    Bought three more Radiance releases which arrived yesterday. Elio Petri's 1967 film We Still Kill the Old Way (A ciascuno il suo) and 1968 film A Quiet Place in the Country (Un tranquillo posto di campagna), plus Peter Fleischmann's 1975 film Weak Spot (La faille).

    Pig was a strange film as was The Old Way. I loved his Dracula in Renfield. Moonstruck is forever a classic, but of his recent stuff I think I’ll go with The Colour From Outer Space! I did hate Dream Scenario though.

    Another angry film starring Volonte that I LOVED is the Elio Petri mafia mystery, We Still Kill the Old Way. The screenplay for this film is incredible. For fans of Chinatown.

    Continuing my Gian Maria Volonté film journey tonight (and I guess my Elio Petri journey too as I watched We Still Kill The Old Way last week). I find him too fascinating to space out watching his films and apparently he is "commanding" in this. I can't resist.

    Watched the Old Way with my movie club. I usually don't like westerns, but was totally here for Nic Cage playing an autistic gunslinger with a Lone Wolf and Cub dynamic with his character's autistic daughter. Pretty sure Cage is some flavor of neurospicy IRL too.

    Watched and enjoyed We Still Kill the Old Way (1967) today. It explored the intersection of politics, family and religion in Sicily more than the actual killing. Shame it was dubbed, but it's another one for my Italian films I have watched on Prime list boxd.it/c69FS

    125/ The Old Way - Fan Xiang Ce n'est pas avec ce film que Zhang Jin reviendra sur le devant de la scène. La bagarre n'est pas trop mal foutu, même si parasité par une utilisation abusive des effets comme les ralentis. Le souci, c'est bien le scénario inintéressant et ses dialogues creux.

    The Old Way is a classic "revenge" #Western starring #NicolasCage. The trailer makes it look like a pretty good Western. The movie I expected and desired to go see-- a Western starring Nicolas Cage!!!-- is certainly in there, but the movie I saw was something else entirely. You shouldn't go in there thinking you know what you're going to see-- but you should ABSOLUTELY go in there and see what it really is. #neurodivergent #neurospicy #TheOldWay

    I reviewed the new Nicolas Cage western The Old Way. The story's familiar, but Cage & co-star Ryan Kiera Armstrong's performances elevate it & keep it entertaining. I also appreciated the film's take on Cage's character's emotional detachment & relationship w/ his daughter.
