I saw 3:10 to Yuma this weekend. It was amazing! I love Westerns and if I had 3 wishes, the second one would be that Hollywood would make more westerns. MORE westerns, I say!
Here are some things I have learned from watching westerns:
*No one sets a cowboy hat better than Mr. Kevin Costner.
*The only way you could get me on a stagecoach would be to tie my cold dead body to the top. Ironically, that’s the way most movie stagecoach rides end.
*The Pinkertons couldn’t catch a cold, despite the fact that they were paid 18 dollars a day (it should have been Confederate dollars).
*No matter if your name is Dirty Ken, Buffalo Bob, Buckshot Willie or Alabama Steve, you are going to die before the age of 30. The tougher you were the less you lived.
*The Jew’s harp was the western bagpipe.
*There were only 2 jobs for women: school marm and saloon gal. They paid about the same and saloon gals had more respect.
*Organic food doesn’t make you live longer. The average life expectancy in 1880 for men was age 45 and women age 49. They didn’t have pesticides on their potatoes. We live to be 80 and there is no reasonable explanation of what goes in a fast food French fry.
*They wore long sleeve shirts all year long. They rarely bathed and had no deodorant. Sometimes, on a cool summer evening, I think I can still smell them.
