As Larry McMurtry ages i buy each of his books with the foreboding that this may be his last. The Berrybender chronicles had me on a Mountain Man kick the beginning of the year-
the hudson bay company allowed 8 #'s of meat per man/day as a minimum- no there's an Atkins Diet.
for 15 points are you aware that not only did he write the Lonesome Dove books- My wife still talks about me laughing through that book, when we were on vacation pre-kids-  and The last picture show- but the book upon which Hud was based.- Didn't like "Lonesome Dove" movie-

Watched Open Range w/ my daughter Sat night and told her now that was a great Cowboy movie to which she replied-
Then I guess I don't like Cowboy movies....

Blah, Blah...

I'm of the opinion that "The Unforgiven" is the best of the Cowboy Movies-
and the beat down that Curly Bill gives to that Brit is the most accurate fight I've ever seen @ the movies...."Any men don't want to get killed, better clear on out the back"
# 2 would be Tombstone " You gonna do something or just stand there and bleed?""
# 3 Open Range


Mrs Drew is still thinking about seeing Passion- which just means that in a week or so, after she has absorbed a few more reviews of it's brutality, I'll go to the 11:30 show after everyone else is asleep...

"LONESOME DOVE" WAS BETTER!

Quoting John Callan <[log in to unmask]>:

  
The thought of watching ten uninterrupted minutes of anyone being
beaten is enough to keep me away.  I get the point already!  And I'm
the guy who thinks Open Range was the best flick in a long long time!

"Some fellas are going to get killed here today, Sue.  ...And I'm gonna
kill 'em."  Now that's dialog!

No, I was being deposed, or depositioned.  And I still walk pretty
normally.

PS-  Although I know the gist of the story, I'm not real eager to see
what happened to that other guy who was born on December 25, at least
not in the details Mel provides.

As it happens, we have a young religious (Christian!) guy in our
office who saw it the first day, and to my surprise, he said he didn't
find it very gripping (I can't remember his exact word, but that's
what it amounted to).
