Indeed, it did. Ah, well.
In other news, I got a chance to see
GallowWalkers, the film Wesley Snipes was working on before his tax evasion problems sent him to jail, on NetFlix.
The premise: A cursed gunman whose victims come back from the dead recruits a young warrior to help in the fight against a gang of zombies.
Sounds awesome, right?
Well, not so much. The pacing is terrible, there's only 2 actual action sequences in the whole 90 minutes (the rest being Sergio Leone-inspired long shots without any of Sergio Leone's actual skill in making them interesting), the dialog is atrocious to the point of ridiculousness, and Snipes appears to be sleepwalking though a Boring Invincible Hero routine. But the visuals of the 5 harrowed baddies makes up for (some of) it, the villain is awesomely hammy and actually has an interesting villainous quest (he doesn't know why he and his minions were resurrected while his son wasn't, so his quest is finding a way to raise his son from the dead, which for some reason means he feels the need to skin people and sew their skin onto his son's corpse in order to find "the right fit"). The costumes are also particularly well done, and I plan on submitting a few to the Avatar Gallery (there's a character who would be a great fit for Jesse, for instance).
It's a movie with harvestible ideas for a Deadlands game, which is fine with me, and i consider it time well spent even if the movie itself was lacking.
