no dice, scumbag.
For some odd reason, AMC has been playing alot more Death Wish these days. 5 years after Charles Bronson’s death, theres really no reason for this sudden interest in the series. Especially since 3 out of the 5 are too terrible to watch.
But Charles Bronson still stands as my favorite face in cinema. When I heard that Sylvester Stallone wanted to reprise the role as the gun wielding vigilante, it made me sad. Charles Bronson was the ugly uncle we all had. Vaguely Asian/ Mexican looking; He taught us, you fuck with me= you die. Uncle Bronson wasn’t Rambo, he was some schmuck with a big gun. Kinda short, and super creepy, if Uncle Bronson took you out to the park, he would not play with you, just stare at you from 600 feet away. But if you got into a sticky situation, you could always count on Uncle Bronson’s aim.
So when you see the trailer to the upcoming Death Wish remake, don’t forget where it all started: at the cold end of a great man’s gun.
