it's not awful, I'm just messing with you. it's a Raimi Western.
Tombstone is flat out brilliant. I don't know if we have discussed it here, but Kurt Russel claims to have a four hour version in the can and has teased about releasing it. I want that now! for those interested in the backstory, the script for Tombstone is generally considered one of the best written in the last 20 years. the writer was originally hired to direct it, but got fired shortly into filming. Kurt Russel took over the reigns of the film, but didn't want the day to day bothers of actually directing it. Sylvester Stallone recommended he hire George Cosmatos to helm the film because he would do the work as well as do what Kurt Russel told him to do (Stallone claims that is the arrangement the two of them had on Rambo: First Blood Part II). just a bit of background on one of the coolest movies ever made and why Kurt Russel is one of the coolest guys, all 5'7" of him. oh yeah and all of the mustaches and lightning in that movie was real! |

you can't fake works of beauty like those staches. no stylist has the skill and cgi just hasn't reached that level. |

From an artistic standpoint, it is very well-made movie though. My list... The Outlaw Josey Wales The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly For a Few Dollars More Blazing Saddles (and I normally hate comedies) All the other greats I either haven't seen yet, or haven't seen in 20+ yrs. |

Not sure if anybody's mentioned "The Shootist," yet.
Of course, the usual suspects: The Searchers Unforgiven Appaloosa was excellent no matter what Gunslinger says. ;) And it was based on the first of a series of 3 really good western novels by prominent mystery writer Robert B. Parker, of "Spenser" fame.

yeah it was a great show but an epic POS as a movie. It could have been so good but they didn't get a damn thing right. You can sometimes count on atleast one cast member being right and the movie had so much talent but they all just phoned it in.
Watch an evening with Kevin Smith and you will see something about that movie that will make you laugh. Truth is other than the one shot of Selma's ass crack the movie was worthless. |

The only problem I had with Tombstone is that so much of the cast is so recognizable for other roles that it's a little hard to focus on the story. I just keep waiting for Bill Paxton to shout, "GAME OVER, MAN!!!", and it's the only movie I've ever had that problem with. O_o
