The three part mini-series will be on History channel starting tonight. Wondering if any of you will be checking it out? Its sparked my interest just a bit and since its only three nights I figured what the hell.

I watched the first part last night. Pretty decent IMHO. I will be watching the next two.

I have it on DVR, I didn't have time to watch it last night. I will start it tonight and then catch up. Looking forward to it.

I liked it. Didn't love it, just liked it. It did get my interest enough to watch the other two episodes. I'll tell you what though, these two families did.not.like.each.other. Too bad that lots of folks had to die over a fued that started from some bullshit butt hurt.

That pig started a lot of shit. Oh, and lets not forget, you never call a man out for fucking his own dog.
Reading some into the future of the show, the shit is about to get real. Lots of blood is about to flow.

Me: "I think I want to watch that... looks interesting."

Him: Kevin Costner is in it..."

Me: "Oh look, there's a Cake Boss marathon on..."

Cannot stand Costner.

Of all the bad actors and cliche performances out there today, and you hate Costner? Dude's a decent actor, but has picked some questionable roles over the years.

I agree somewhat on Costner. He is by no means my favorite actor, nor is he on the hate list. I just think that this particular type role fits him the best. So far he has done a pretty good job I think. The head of the McCoy family is one that I'm not really fond of though. Every time I see Bill Paxton in a movie, I think of Twister and "We're goin innnn". So far in the Hatfields & McCoys series he has done pretty well imo.

Agree on both of them. Neither are my fav actors.

Ive been kind of surprised by the performances so far. Give it a try TW. It has to be better than a bunch of Yankee Italians making cakes and screaming at each other.

Costner + Bull Durham + Open Range + Waytt Earp + JFK + Thirteen Days = decent

Costner + Water World + Bodyguard + Postman + Tin Cup + 3000 Miles to Graceland = shitty

Thats pretty much spot on.

I thought he was awesome in The Big Chill.

It took a while for me to get into it, but by the end of the first episode I was hooked. Will definitely be watching the next two.

Costner uses the same tone of voice, the same inflection in his words, the same vapid stare, in every role. He was the only one in Robin Hood who was not in English character - probably because he could never have pulled it off. That indicates a lack of range. He is just like Tom Cruise - he bought the rights to these good movies and then fucked them up by casting himself.

I like Paxton. But when I see him I think of him as Hudson in Alien: "That's it man, game over man, game over!" Trivia fact: Bill Paxton is the only actor to have been killed by Alien, Predator and Terminator.

Best part of that whole movie is when the Marines are coming in and everyone is all stressed out except for the character played by Michael Biehn. In true grunt fashion he is sleeping and someone says "Somebody wake Hick's up."

You ought to check out Bill Paxton in this movie. Funny shit!

He's awful. Just plain out awful. The only thing I thought he wasn't completely shitty in was 3000 Miles to Graceland...where he had a supporting character role.

Other than that he sucks the root.

hey hey....

He successfully prevented any bad people from getting to Whitney Houston. No one else can claim to have done that.

Costner is okay in a lot of stuff but like TW said, he sounds the same no matter what role he's playing.
