    Josiah Trelawny is probably the 2nd most funny character in the game. his personality, charm and the way he knows how to scam people. he might be more pro at making money than Dutch and Hosea combined. he also is so damn fancy dressed. definitely not a cowboy but a business high society rich person. Josiah for Arthur is what Uncle is for John. same type of charming funny character that will try making jokes and lighted the mood of any given situation with comedy. Javier is also very fancy looking. the only Mexican cowboy in the game before reaching the epilogue and you are finally allowed to travel to New Austin and meet the Del Lobos. the Del Lobos are so amazing looking. and have such funny Mexican accents.

    Say what you will about this movie and John Wayne's more jingoistic sensibilities..... but for anyone under the ahistorical popular delusion still taught in public schools tot this day, that frames the 1950's and era of McCarthyism as a dark time of unjustified paranoia and wrongful persecutions in America, when the state would violate one's civil liberties at the drop of a hat in order to stifle political dissent, please.... let me disabuse you of that decontextualized, detached world view. That simplified understanding largely ignores just how extensively the NKVD had managed to install honest to God, card carrying communist as espionage agents across the federal government and organs of state. People have no idea just how many soviet spies were privy to top secret information within the government, as well as just how imbedded they were in Hollywood as well, which if we're being honest, is just the propaganda arm of the DC Intelligentsia. If you need proof, research the Venona Files. Basically, in 1943 the U.S. Army Signal Intelligence Service figured out how to successfully intercept and decipher messages sent by the NKVD, to and from Soviet agents in the United States and other countries. The existence of this capability was kept classified as highly top secret throughout nearly the entire cold war, and documents surrounding the operations were not declassified until the 1990's, when the files revealed to the public, if anything, just how compromised the government and societal institutions were, to such an extent it can be argued that McCarthy and the rest of the Government didn't go nearly far enough.

    Louis Lamour - auch, phooey. Juvenile campfire tales written by a man who spent his life lamentimg not being able to be 19 years old forever and whose female characters were nothing more than fluff in a high breeze. And more Lonesome Dove? Puleeze. It should have stopped with the original. Saturation is never a good thing.

    I really like, and reread every year or so, the stories written by Dorothy M Johnson: The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, A Man Called Horse, The Hanging Tree etc. I guess they don’t classify as novels, rather long short stories or novellas. The movies made from her stories are also very entertaining. I’m surprised Jack Shaeffer didn’t make the cut; surely Shane is on most people’s shortlist. His short stories are also excellent. I also enjoy Louis Lamour though I think he would have benefited from an editor to keep him on track and tighten up some of his story telling.

    Not a great Corbucci film or great Reynolds film - but decent enough. It's not mor offensive than any other redface seen in older westerns imo. Maybe even a tad less so considering the film is on the side of the Native American protagonist. Insensitive and embarrassing, but well intentioned imo.

Interesting development for me recently: I read True Grit and even though I almost always like the book more than the movie, because I grew up on the movie and seen it probably 50+ times, the book actually just didn’t do it for me. I think if I’d read it first I would have liked it more, but because the order was reversed I just couldn’t let go of it - the Duke will always be the real Rooster in my heart lol 😂

    Larry McMurtry was a big fan of books in general. He read a lot, collected rare books, and passed on his love of readings to anyone who would talk to him. I read all of his books when I was a teenager. I need to go back and read them again. He based Lonesome Dove loosely on the Story family -- who are a real family that moved from Texas to Montana.

    @jonathanrichter4256 3 месяца назад

    You are aware that Larry McMurtry wrote several other novels involving Gus MCrea and Woodrow Call? Chronologically the story starts with Dead Man's Walk, where Gus and Woodrow first join the Texas Rangers, and was turned into a miniseries starring Jonny Lee Miller as Woodrow and David Arquette as Gus. It fair to middling. Then comes Comanche Moon which was a great miniseries starring Steve Zahn as Gus and Karl Urban as Woodrow. Val Kilmer was fantastic in a guest starring role. There was of course a Lonesome Dove 2 which was made into series with much of the same cast as the original. Later in Woodrow's life is a book called Streets of Laredo which was made into a movie with James Garner as Woodrow.

    ジョン・ウェインは、『ハイ・ヌーン』について<助けを求め歩く様な懦弱な奴は殴ってやりたい。>とか、<保安官バッジを投げ棄てる行為は許せない>とか、居丈高に批判しているが、私はそうは思わない。  教会堂での評議の際、結婚式の時は、ケインのこれ迄の働きを絶賛していた町長が、ケインを助けようと名乗りを挙げた数名の住民を抑え、まるで掌を返したように、  彼の判断を非難し、<今すぐ出ていけ!>と冷たく突き放す場面。洋の東西を問わず、政治家と言う者の、<二枚舌>と<自己保身>の醜さにヘドが出る思いがする。この時の<腹黒町長>の一言ほど、人間の<冷酷と無情>を露骨に暴露したものはない。  この町長の一言は、これ迄町の為に身を挺して献身して来たケインの<業績>を己が自己保身の為に真っ向から否定し、その尊厳を踏みにじり、彼に<死刑の宣告>を与えたに等しく、凡そ血の通った人間なら、決してなし得ない冷酷非情の所業だった。  <西部の町>と言うものが、必ずしもコミュニティーとして、法を遵守し、常に社会正義に立脚して運営されていたものではなかったと言う事が窺われる。即ち町の有力者が支配し、保安官さえもその傘下に組み込まれていたと言う事が。  その様な<四面楚歌>の中、しかも最愛の新妻からも見放され、唯一人、4人の殺し屋と戦わざるを得なかったケイン。何の為に、誰の為に…。自らの『保安官としての矜持』。町を護って来た者としての『確乎たる誇り』に立って彼は戦ったのである。  例え悪漢共の凶弾に倒れたとしても彼は『本望』だったろう。そして、その時点で、死んだケインは<生き>、生きた町は悪漢共の支配下にあって<死ぬ>のである。  J.フォードに担ぎ上げられ、愛国者を気取って、西部劇史上不朽の名作である『ハイ・ヌーン』を声高に貶めたジョン.ウェインは、第二次大戦当時、<家族云々>を理由として<戦争志願>を逃げ回った<本物の腰抜け>だった❗  最後に、このインタビューでウェインが語っている内容を全文<和訳>して戴ければ有難い。
