 Marshal ..on the other hand.. does the same.. BUT~~~~~~~ he will mumble things like.. "they didn't make that caliber gun then. "
 or " That gun only holds ---- shots".. or "that Indian tribe never had anything to do with yada yada yada"...
sighhhhhhhhhh

Sooooo, when Doc Holiday in Tombstone (also played by Val Kilmer) fanned his Bisley (??) and got off, what, 15 or 20 shots into one the McLaurys, Marshall didn't like that scene??

I loved it! But I did comment on it. I did the same when Val shot 3 rounds with his double barrel shotgun without reloading. LOL

OK I gave it a second try....tuned out after an hour.  BORING!!!!  I won't give it a third try.

And I just tell myself that the never ending revolver in Tombstone was the multiple cameras showing the same rounds being fired.  I think Freud called that rationalization.

I thought the guy playing Gus was pretty good...well at least he has DuVall's manurisms and cadence down pretty good.  The show is ok, but I'm not going to buy the DVD when it comes out though.

As far as the thirteen rounds out of Doc's Revolver...guess I never counted.  Granted, any western with Sam Elliot I tend to let some details slide.  It's a movie, and even more than that it's not a movie that is trying to claim a well aimed .50 BMG round can bring a chopper down from 20 miles away.

I watched it all and must admit that I don't know enough about Western frontier history or day-to-day life to get the message. I understood the Lonesome Dove series and loved it. Apologies to all the Cowboys. I must all hat, no cattle. Mac.

Don't sweat it Mac. I've run cows, buffalo even, and I watched the whole thing too. All in all, I'd give it a 4 out of ten, where Lonesome Dove was a 10. Wes Studi was good, Adam Beach as Blue Duck did a creepy good job, esp. with the gold wedding bands from all of the people he has killed woven into his hair. The Gus actor grew on me, I thought he did better in #3 than in the first episode. But then I think we all would have a tough time living up to Robert Duval's acting.

Other than that, I lost track of what was going on occasionally with the various cuts and jumps from one plot line to another. And the cinematography , which normally was good, lapsed into Rifleman or Bat Masterson TV quality. That was a too bad, some of the locations were great.

Adam Beach is a great, underrated actor, but I hadn't seen him in much other than his WWII films (Windtalkers and Flags of Our Fathers).

I'll wait to watch this, though, until after I've read the book.

He and Wes Studi did a couple movies that our local PBS station carried. I think it was something like "Dream Walkers." It was about a couple of detectives on a Reservation in Arizona.

Adam Beach is also on that Law and Order: Special Victims' unit

Don't you be sayin' nothin' bad about K.C.... That there will be fightin' words.. 

 

My wife doesn't like westerns, but she'll be glued to the TV becuse of K.C.

He just start this year?  Cool.

As for Kevin Costner - Open Range restored my faith in him.  However, I still can't forgive him for the relentlessly boring Wyatt Earp and the way he managed to completely BLEED off the quality of the rest of the cast of Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves.

Like... C'MON!  Robin's supposed to by DYNAMIC!  In the meantime, the rest of the cast are throwing in performances that make K.C. look like a deer in the headlights.
