Robert Duvall western

Anyone else like me watch and really enjoy this? Hell, Duvall + western is a stamp of approval for me. Agree, disagree?

Second question - I read in a story that Thomas Haden Church said Duvall was his idol as a young actor (of course the two are in this movie together). Brings up the question - If you got to learn from your sportswriting/and or just writing idol, who would it be? For me, it's a tie between Gary Smith and James Lee Burke (detective writer).

 

What movie is it?

 

P.J. O'Rourke. I'd laugh my ass off everyday.

 

Pall ...it's called "Broken Trail", it's on AMC. If you missed it, they're reshowing the first part tomorrow, then the final part after.

 

I don't have cable. Guess I'll see if I can pick up the DVD.

 

Didn't see it, but Duvall was the truth in Open Range.

 

Agree with Duvall and Westerns, Duvall and Open Range.

For me, it would be Jim Murray and Dan Jenkins for my co-mentors.

 

Pt. 2 of this just began. FYI.

 

I'll take Duvall in Lonesome Dove. Good movie, great book.

 

We need more quality Western movies.

 

Hell yes! I'm sure some may violently disagree with whether it kicked ass or sucked, but I remember when my bro. and I went to see "Tombstone" twice in the theater, it was packed.

 

First time I saw Open Range, I wasn't thrilled about it. I thought it was too slow.
I have the same complaint about Clint Eastwood's Unforgiven - though I also like that movie.
Watched Open Range twice this weekend and found a new appreciation for it.

Loved Tombstone from the start. Saw it in the theatre and thought it was great! I still wish Ike Clanton had gotten his though.

Read a book written by Wyatt Earp's girl (the actress played by Dana Delany) written after Earp's death. She recounts Wyatt running into Johnny Behan a years later on a San Francisco street and knocking him out cold. She said he walked in the door that night grinning from ear to ear.
