Leo,

We can only hope ... but I think that my Phillistine mouth would overload my mind in the heat of the moment ... then if I had time before impact I would probably get that prayer in ... and I don't think I am very much different from most crewmembers ... sigh ....

NED KELLY is on the box right now!  Not sure I can stay up long enough to get to the end.

I do have a DVD of THE PROPOSITION.  A bit brutal but a good show.  I think these two movies about Australia's badmen are pretty good.

I saw Mick Jaeger in an Australian "outback" movie. It wasn't all that bad either.

If I could remember the name of it, I would buy it and watch the whole thing.

The Proposition is very harsh but a good story.  That man had a hard choice to make.

Mick was in the old version of Ned Kelly. The new one with Heath Ledger is better in my opinion, but the Jagger one is fun to watch. Kinda funny watching Mick try his hand at an Australian accent.  ;D

Amazon had both, and at a good price, so I ordered both.

I love the way they depict the difference between American and spagetti westerns.  That was a funny movie.

IMO, it would have to be between "The Shootist" with John Wayne and "Tombstone" with Kurt Russel....


Best western Series - goes to the first and second season's of "The Virginian".

Favorite movie, Lonesome Dove
Favorite book, too many to list, For authenticity I favor Elmer Kelton, Mike Blakeley, Winn Blevins, Will Henry, Matt Braun occasionally.
For pure western fiction, Zane Grey.

Well I won't say that it is my "favorite" westren novel. However I recently finished a book titled "Doc" about Doc Holiday written by Mary Doria Russell. She makes Doc real IMO not some greater than life tragic anti-hero. Reminded me a lot of Kirk Douglas'  sympathaic portrayal of him in "Gun fight at OK Corral" A book that is IMO worth the read.
 To tell the truth, I really don't have a "favorite" western novel or bio. A good story is a a good story. I tend to enjoy them reguardless.

Hannah's Law in the Redbox rental kiosks was pretty good, had Danny Glover and Billy Zane in it. The guy that does Doc Holliday in it did a good job I thought
