# Being American,
shouldn't she be called Jessica RadioShack...?
(I helped save b3ta! Happosai _,,,,_(O ; o)_,,,, Mon 14 Dec 2020, 23:40, archived)
# Fun fact:
Tandy Leather was founded in 1919 as a leather supply store and acquired a number of craft retail companies, including RadioShack in 1963.
In 2000, the Tandy Corporation name was dropped and the entity became the RadioShack Corporation.

There is still a Tandy Leather about 5 miles from my home.

# Was Maplin more popular than Tandy over there?
(I helped save b3ta! PedroHin Come along & ride on a Flantastic Voyage, Tue 15 Dec 2020, 13:00, archived)
# So, Maplin started out as a decent retailer of electronic components, kits and related equipment
and their annually-published catalogues were pretty handy technical references, as well as having cool Sci-Fi -themed covers. However, in more recent years, they moved to mostly selling electronic crap and overpriced blister-packed items, basically taking over from where Tandy left off when they shut up shop in the early 2000s.

My first job after leaving school in the early '90s was in a local electronic components and equipment shop that I'd frequented for several years previously, being a computer and electronics geek from an early age. By that point, Tandy was a joke and Maplin was already starting to go down the toilet.

One of the things that made me very happy when I visited Reykjavik a couple of years ago was finding an electronics shop that was almost exactly the same as the one I'd worked at a couple of decades earlier.

# I know the trilogy is looked on as a masterpiece, but fuck me didn't Leone drag some of those sequences out.
For example, the bit in Fistful where the mexican army gets betrayed while trying to swap rifles for gold. It's like the They Live alley fight.

# I thought that was the point
I love the audacity of how long he keeps that final showdown going in The G/B/U.

# Fair enough that sort of thing for a finale.
But not scattered all over the movies. Like what feels like five solid minutes of the main villain laughing over and over while one of the protagonists gets punched and kicked all round the place, picked up and then punched again, each time falling over or through yet another piece of furniture. A filmmaker tried that shit now, all the reviewers would roast them for unnecessary padding.

I can forgive Cleef's hat getting shot along the ground, because it's funny.

# Eli Wallach has to work about 10x harder than the others in that film
And he's no uglier than Van Cleef. I suppose "The Scoundrel" doesn't have the same ring.

# Yes Eli Wallach really earns his money.
The 'ecstasy of gold' sequence works well for me and the conversation with his brother.
