In Reply to: shooting straight in the West, post Civil War, and cold bier. posted by petew on September 03, 1999 at 16:59:45:
This was the film that was used in my narrative films class as an example of a western. I just knew that Jimmy Stewart couldn't hit the side of a barn from 10 feet. Maybe he was using one of those 45's. (I know that is a spoiler for the movie but it's your own damn fault for reading this post).In most westerns, is it a cliche to have the "tough guy" build his own house out in the middle of nowhere? When I watched "Unforgiven" I noticed this similarity between Hackman's character and Wayne's character in both movies. Seems that John Wayne was a better carpenter though.

now you've got me thinking Tom, if I've ever seen a western where the characters live in town. The only one I can think of is Warren Beatty's...oh,,,what is it...???? You know, the one with the whores and he's not much of a businessman or anything else? Some mining town in the Sierras...geesss. I can't remember anything. I think I'll put the kids to bed and go out and buy a DVD player.Loved the steak scenes in "Liberty Vallance". Did you see the size of those steaks?! and beans. Loved Andy Divine as the sheriff. "How 'bout another one of those steaks? you can skip the beans...!" And that John Wayne was a good drunk too--just like a high school kid.
Since we're on about westerns, have you seen "Nevada Smith", with Steve McQueen and ...the cop from the San Fransisco series with what's his name...you know..."don't leave home without it? What's wrong with my brain...Carl Maulden!
"Yer yella! Ya haven't got the guts! Yer yella...YELLAAAAAA!"
All these western guys come from troubled times. You never hear about a nice man from a happy family who goes west and settles down with a wife and kids on a nice farm...oh wait...Little house on the Prairie!
finding data in my brain is as hard as finding it on my hard drive...I know it's there somewhere, but I forgot the filename.
