I know.. but he is just so nice to look at.......................................  ;) And I liked him in Field of Dreams and Dances With Wolves.

I love Sean Connery too.. even though it just brings Marshal straight up out of the sand box... because Sean is a gun hater.
 I know all of that.. but damn.. that voice and that distinguished look... and face it.. He can act..
Yep... There are some out there that I just plain like for whatever reason..  :)

I know what you mean.  Personally, I love looking at Jennifer Connely, but upon learning that she's a "vegan" I realize that she is not in complete control of her mental faculties (or her nocturnal emmissions.   :(

Sorry Marshal'ette, but I'm with the cradle robber on the Connery thing too.  Mac.

I always like Sean Connery but he's another one of those guys who hates guns but made a great living shooting people in the movies. Anyone who does that is a jerk. At least someone like Tom Selleck isn't a hypocrite every time he makes a movie.

We finally watched C. Moon.
 It was .......sighhhhhhhhhhhh.......... slow and boring in most areas and it jumped around way too much.
 Just about the time I would "get into" a segment, they would switch it to something else. Frustrating..
And the scenes were not filled with much to watch.. so it looks as if they took a paragraph of content and strung it out to make a page..
I thought the Gus character at least had Duvall's mannerisms. That was a plus..
The best part was when Gus gave a knuckle sandwich to (Val Kilmers) wife at the end.
 But even then she had no bruise, no red , no blood and just blinked and then smiled.
 THAT was bad.. ( There is no way a woman that size could get a right hook by a guy and not be showing something in the way of pain..)
And the chemically white teeth bothered me.. even after being in the pit and eating dead crows and snakes, Kilmers teeth were bright white.
 oh welll.... maybe the next western will be better.
And.... at least I hung in there until the bitter end.
 You know, maybe if they had of done this one first.. and THEN made Open Range, it would have been better.
Naaaaaa.. probably not..  :-\
 
 Marshal and I decided that he and Michael and I could have made and directed this better..  ;D

The thing to keep in mind is that at least another western was produced.  Sure it wasn't the best but, to my way of thinking it was better than not having a new western at all.  I liked Gus's character (he really seemed to try and get Duvall's manerisms down), the costuming and weaponry was pretty good too.  Yeah, it jumped around a bit but I thought it was to have mini flashbacks to try and establish the characters in the storyline.  I liked comparing the people to the folks they were representing in L.D. and matching them up in this prequel.  It was kinda slow in parts but I enjoyed trying to pick out who's who and why things happened in L.D. 

I just watched the remake of 3:10 to Yuma and outside of the guns and clothing was really Hollyweird in the directing and the storyline. I would rather have new movies made rather than remake after remake; there has to be some new ideas out there.
