Short rant about westerns

Posted by Mike K (A) on January 3, 2011 at 17:38:50

I love a good western. But in nearly every one, even the very best,
all the men (without beards) are almost always clean shaven. And their
clothes are clean and the characters are well washed. Lets get real
here, hollywood: 150 years ago, people didn't bathe every day; they
didn't shave everyday; they didn't wear clean clothes every day. In
short, they were grubby looking! How about we have grubby looking
characters in westerns from now on, what say??
