If only it were so. Unfortunately "Even Cowgirls Get the Blues" did make it
out of the box. It was directed by Gus Van Sant (who redeemed himself with
"To Die For" and is riding tall in the saddle with "Good Will Hunting", but
neither excuses the awful mess he made of "Cowgirls...") and wasted an
incredible cast including Uma Thurman, John Hurt, Carol Kane and even Ken
Kesey and William S. Burroughs in one of his last roles (did you know that
he had at least 17 film acting credits, including "Twister"?).

No Tim Robbins fan could wish for anything more devoutly than to have not
known of the existence of this thing.
