    Buck,


    A hearty WELCOME to the John Wayne Message Board, the best of it's kind this side of dot com! Grab a cup of coffee and pull up a seat and join in the discussion. You'll find this to be a friendly and knowledgeable group, and there are many good discussions around, as well as some fun things to do like the (usually) weekly Picture Game and What's on TV?

    well hi all from London England. I was so pleased to find this forum...you have managed to create a wonderful resource for us all...really excellent. Doubtful I can add to it but thanks for the chance to find out more about my favourite screen Icon.

    Hello fellow John Wayne fans!

    A pleasure to join up here on this message board--found this as a link to the new John Wayne site: like the Duke, shall make cameo appearances here when I get two minutes to myself (although it will be longer than his cameos in "How The West Was Won" or "Cancel My Reservation"!)

    I am also a huge Laurel and Hardy fan (Oliver was his co-star in "The Fighting Kentuckian" and the Duke and Herbert Yates visited Stan and Oliver on the set of their final movie "Atoll K" in France in 1950) and it's heartening to know that all of the greats haven't been forgotten.

    Cheers! -- Brian

    Hey Brian,

    And Welcome to the greatest message board of it kind to talk about a great American, John Wayne. Hope you will browse around and see what we have here about the Duke. Have fun here!

    Cheers :cool: Hondo Duke Lane

    Welcome to the board, Brian! If a few minutes or a few hours is all you can spare...doesn't matter. All is time well spent here.

    Many thanks SX Viper, Chester, Hondo, Mark and Jay for the great welcome: this is a terrific message board and will certainly be a regular outpost in my cyber-travels (rest the horses here at 'Fort Wayne' for a while!) :thumbs_up:

    I live in Australia and we will be finally getting the Batjac productions on dvd for the first time down here in early August--I look forward to finally seeing "McLintock!" without getting a headache from the frenetic 'pan and scan' picture movements.

    Speaking of Batjac, has anybody heard any further details on the release in digital cinemas of the 3D version of "Hondo"? I know that there was to have been an announcement at the recent Cannes Film Festival about this project going forward as there will be a whole slate of brand new movies being released in digital 3D in those theatres with digital projection equipment. Certainly "Hondo" will seem rather quaint compared to the next James Cameron movie, but at least it will be seen in the ultimate presentation conditions and would be quite notable in the Duke's 100th Anniversary year.
