Robert Duvall, IMO, is one of the great character actors of the past 100 years.

Which one did you like better, Lando?

One of the things that has always bugged me about these gunfight scenes is that Hollywood loses all sense of reality when it comes to how many bullets a SIX-SHOTTER can fire.

Open range was notorious for that.  In one scene, Costner had as many as a extra-large 9mm clip.

The hero never runs out, but the bad guys do!

Why Netflix’s ‘Godless’ is the Western you’ve been waiting for

Why Netflix’s ‘Godless’ is the Western you’ve been waiting for

Rob Lowman
Los Angeles Daily News
November 17, 2017

Quote
...For “Godless,” executive producers Casey Silver and Steven Soderbergh took Scott Frank’s screenplay, which was originally written as a film, and expanded it into a seven-part limited series for Netflix.

The series is a wild ride, an old-fashioned Western with a contemporary edge. It carries the sweep and breadth of a grand tale with the larger-than-life ornery characters you expect to find living and dying in that rugged, lonely land...

The entire series – which plays like a seven-hour movie – was directed by Scott Frank from his screenplay. He keeps the tension throughout without over-hyping scenes. Death is bad enough. Using natural light, the cinematography from Steven Meizler, who has filmed for Steven Spielberg and Steven Soderbergh, infuses the scenes with the unease of vulnerability...

I have been home this week. Sick since Sunday. I only had a 3 day work week, so it hasn't been all bad. Getting over some respiratory virus thing. Got to watch a few old good westerns again on cable.

Jubal
(Under appreciated- Filmed in Wyoming, great scenery. The cast has Glenn Ford, Ernest Borginine, Charles Bronson, Rod Steiger)

Original True Grit

Man from Laramie

I also saw a really bad one, with one of my favorite Western actors, sorry to say. Ben Johnson in "Return to Bonanza" . The bad guy actually pulled an automatic pistol. The train boxcar was a modern metal one. Just terrible. Felt sorry for Ben Johnson.

All good ones, @GrouchoTex !

Anything Jimmy Stewart did was worth watching.

...even noticed a remake of 'his' Winchester 73 this week, but Stewart is a tought act to follow.

Stewart remains my favorite actor of all time.  Only rival I can think off the top of my head is Henry Fonda.

No coincidence he could act in Westerns, dramas and of course Alfred Hitchcock movies.
