What Was The Last Western You Watched?

Red River- Always a classic

After a very rewarding but hectic couple days, my son and I saw "Django Unchained" today. I entirely agree with Alamo221's capsule review.
Some music choices were dead on but others take you right out of the movie. A little self indulgent.

We deal in lead, friend.

Watched Blue Steel, Dawn Rider, Desert Trail, Lawless Frontier, Lucky Texan and the Duke Documentary. Going to watch every one of these zillions of Bs, LOL. Wanna be able to say I watched every movie Duke ever made! KEITH
TossUPS is one of the worst delivery places I ever had to use. I too never use them and hate it when I get packages through them. Guess what? they FINALLY showed up last night at 8:30PM--and their last notice to me said they would be ther at 5PM. I wwas getting ready to go take a shower when I heard banging on the door. I opened it and the guy tried entering my place-I said I was not dressed and pushed him out and said give me the paper to sign (was some sort fo electronic device) and I guess thought i was going to keep the damned thing as he insisted holding onto the device. I ripped it from his hands-closed the door-signed it and opened my door and handed it back.

Afraid if the guy tried to get into my house, I would've shot him....Yes, I am serious. At 62 PLUS, 120 pounds, and female to boot.......NOBODY is getting into my house that I don't know.....won't take any chances. Only have one pistol, my .357 Magnum 4 inch barrel S&W model #19. It is in my belt at the small of my back if someone even starts coming to the door that I don't know. And Yes, I know very well how to use it, LOL.

I am watching tons of old JW movies...will have to write them down next time. Fun thing is seeing old character actors very young! Sometimes I first recognize them by their voice. Gabby Hayes is one, but is billed as George Hayes in a lot of the really old ones. Same voice, but dark shorter hair, no beard or mustache.........yet, need the voice, or you would pass him right over. He died in '69 at 83...quite a career he had! I think my favorite of his, so far is Tall in the Saddle. I can just see him almost getting pulled of the coach going down that mountain and being brought back to sitting by Duke! Yeah, Uhhuh! KEITH

Couldnt get away with shooting the delivery guy--not since Corpus Christi is turning liberal. He was lucky that I didnt smash his arm by closing the door. I had a similar experiance like that trying to keep an inmate inside its dorm--back on: Dec 1996. That fool got VERY lucky ;-))))

Anyway, on handguns: There is a new manufactured EXACT copy of an M-1911 A-1 Colt .45. I saw some going for about $450--which is a darned great price for a .45. These are made by Colt--and are made exactly like those made in WWII-O.D. Green parkerization and all. I aim to get one of these sometime during the year. .357s are good-but I dont care for em since im more into WWII Weaponry ;-))

Fergot to mention: Saw part of Big Jake on AMC yesterday but had to leave. Then this morning saw: Fort Dobbs w/ Clint Walker (his 1st feature length movie) Virginia Mayo, Brian Keith and Richard Eyer. Not bad for Clint's first serious oater ;-))

Richard Eyer and Virginia Mayo:



W/ Brian Keith:

Red River

Big Jake. Unfortunately, it was on AMC, so it took twice as long to see because of the ridiculous number (and length) of the commercial breaks...

Finally watched my Blu-ray version of THE BIG TRAIL. I was amazed at the difference in quality of video and especially sound of this version over the DVD copy I had. Very enjoyable this time through. Caught Ward Bond in three scenes and actually understood all the dialogue for the first time.

Hondo - Good movie, I hadn't seen it for years and I really enjoyed it.

Cowboys & Aliens,AGAIN, just to confirm how bad it was

The Kentuckian with Burt Lancaster and a nasty Walter Matthau. Good western

Big Jake

The Cowboys. Still can't be certain of the two boys. Think I know, but not sure. KEITH

Last night I watched "Westbound", which starred Randolph Scott as an ex Union soldier appointed to manage a stage company. Not a great Western but not a bad one either.

The title alone should have confirmed that, Keith.

Rio Grande

The Shootist........best acting old Duke ever did, for sure. KEITH

I don't know if it can actually be called a Western but--I just saw: The Frisco Kid w/ James Cagney. Its about the Barbary Coast in or around 1850.

Not too bad a movie and I enjoyed it.

DvD:

Still a minor "punk"

Startin to get some respect but still a minor punk:

Not so minor of a punk anymore:

The love interest:

The startings of his "racket:

Open Range

Good Day For a Hanging, and Gun For a Coward-both starring Fred Macmurray-very good, enjoyed them both.
