    Nice shots all. Also, did you all know that the character that Kim Darby played in one of those stupid halloween movies--got axed by the freak in the movie. She was next to some white (figures too) sheets hung out to dry and she lost her glasses and was looking for them when the freak gave her 50 whacks. I saw it posted on youtube.



    That may have been Halloween 5 (or 4, 6, etc)-I think she was trying for a come back at the time.

    I may be wrong, but I seem to remember Jim Burke being Duke's double for the jump (he doubled Duke for the longshots of the shootout with Pepper's gang).

    Just saw the OTG again on TCM the other nite and noticed a couple things for the first time.
    1. Wilfred Brimley in the courtroom scene. He's seated in the front row of the audience, pretty much center. As Alfred Ryder is grilling Rooster, you can see Brimley just over Ryder's right shoulder.
    2. Chuck Hayward and Jim Burke as members of Pepper's gang. They are just to the right of Duvall as the gang rides up to the shanty Moon and Quincy were to meet them at. They both disappear in the gunfight-Burke seems to be the one shot saving Pepper's life, but maybe just doubled the kid that gets killed. Anyhow, both are gone after the battle (but if you watch real close, Burke can be made out doubling Duke in long shots of his "fill-yer-hand" gunfight with Ned, and carrying Mattie after the snake-bite).

    I have to say that I enjoyed the casting, and the memorable bad guy, but No Country For Old Men left me cold. Based on that, I'd probably wait and see the new TG when it hits cable.
