Westerns lol

Longest fight scene in history?

When the cowboys get shot they either die in mid sentence or recover in the kitchen of a widow woman. I guess it has to be a widow or it dont count.

Theres always only ONE Indian that speaks perfect English and only ONE cowboy that just happens to speak the tribes language . I guess if its more than one it doesnt count ....?

Oh yea , cowboys rarely bleed. They get shot at 10 feet with a rifle but they simply put their hand on their gut and fall down. Oh yea, they dont get shot in the head either

"Holly caught a bullet it got him in the leg .While it should have been a better shot and got him in the head"...lyrics to "Pepper"

The cowboys that get shot never are the ones with water. There can be 10 of them but if 1 doesnt have water hes the one that gets shot. If he doesnt die soon afterward ( in mid sentence or it doesnt count) he can be fixed with a hankerchef and a drink of water from someone elses canteen. But mind you he only gets one drink of water, nearly everytime

I've come to appreciate Western films more and more in recent years, and will always go to the theater when a new one is released. (I think the last one I watched that way was called Hostiles, with Christian Bale.)

The other day I caught Appaloosa on cable, with Ed Harris and Viggo Mortensen, based on the Cole and Hitch books by Robert B. Parker, and it was outstanding. (I guess Harris wanted to make more after that and Viggo didn't.) Harris also starred in Riders of the Purple Sage (that Zane Grey classic has to have been filmed at least a half dozen times) and one called Sweetwater. Both DVDs are on my Amazon wishlist.

I have watched and enjoyed Open Range several times. Love me some Kevin Costner. Speaking of Robert Duvall, I recently bought a DVD of the original Lonesome Dove mini-series. That book by Larry McMurtry, by the way, is the second best Western novel I've ever encountered...number one being 'Paradise Sky' by Joe R. Lansdale. My youngest son, 27, had never seen Silverado, so I got him to watch that with me last week. And he got me to watch Django Unchained. (I'm not a Tarantino fan, by any means, but DU was pretty good.)

One movie that pretty much takes Westerns apart, in a very irreverent way, is A Million Ways to Die in the West. If you're a prude and don't appreciate dirty humor, don't bother. I thought it was hysterical.

You always go for the body shot. A larger mass is easier to hit. Headshots are iffy and make more of a mess.

I have a broad sense of humor and loved "million ways to die". If Charlize didnt have that goofy gender confused kid she drags around with her I'd hang out with her.

That's why we never get to see them get shot in the eye.
