Figgers, you fellers not being of the WESTERN persuasion. Out here, it's Mexican food. Burritos, tamales enchiladas, chile rellanos, frijoles, fajitas, steak picado an' o' course that Texican staple, chile con carne. Cal-Mex seems healthier to me than Tex-Mex. I've been to CA and I found it difficult to find queso. Plus, black beans seems to dominate pinto beans way, way out there.

My all-time favorite is I-Talian, but I picked Eastern Indian because I enjoy that as well and have been in the mood for it most recently.

Nah! I'm happy with my Dunfions! I've got a couple of gigs coming up and another promising one. The two solid gigs are a scotch tasting on January 6th (Sherlock Holmes' birthday) and a Rabbie Burns Dinner in late January.

I ate at my brother's house. We had turkey, corn-bread dressing, giblet gravy, ham, green beans, creamed corn, orange and cream salad, roles, and apple pie a la mode. After dinner the men went to see the new Bond film, which I highly recommend.

For a Hollywood-type movie, and a Disney one at that, I thought the costuming was not bad....actually, better than The Alamo (1960).

I've seen bits and pieces. Remembering that it was made in 1915 and not 2005, it depicts the Mexican soldiers as devilish baby killers.

Until just a couple of years ago, I didn't know Poston had married Suzanne Pleshette. A funny guy and a beautiful woman! That must have been a happy household.

As a kid, my folks didn't take us to too many movies. Of John Wayne's films, I think I only got to see "The Green Berets" (1967) and "True Grit" (1971) at the theatres. "TG" was a drive in release and I saw it with a buddy when I was about 12. I'm sorry I didn't get to see The Duke more on the big screen. Some small, aged theatre needs to run a marathon of his flicks, here in Houston, so that I can have the opportunity. I'll bet it will draw a huge crowd and a nice profit. Somebody call Batjac! Now that I notice, I haven't seen any of the small dollar theatres around anymore. Maybe they are all gone now.

It's not in my dvd player right now (I'm at work), but I recently purchased and my latest viewing was Casino Royale. Excellent. It will be interesting to see where the new series will go.

Pat Morita? What was his role? Did he own the local laundry house?

Evil Roy Slade, 2006Run out and rent/buy this 1970's John Astin Classic! it is a crack-up! ;D I was 14, but I don't remember this show at all. I always like John Astin ever since The Addams Family. Bonanza used to feature a comedy episode or two each season and he appeared as an old sea captain that befreinded Li'l Joe while hunting for buried treasure in Nevada. His son, "Samwise" of LOTR and RUDY!, has a good comic style, too. He shows up in cameos in small independent films as some comic foil sometimes.

I'm surprised that no one offered "The Shepherd in the Hills" and "The Angel and the Bad Man." In both Harry Carey stars as a father figure to Wayne. In "The Searchers," Wayne pays tribute to Carey by holding his arm as Carey did when he was a cowboy star in the silent film era. In addition to Carey's performance, "The Shepherd in the Hills" is quite a movie. It shows on either AMC or TCM on occasion and is worth watching.

I very much like watching Sam Elliot in any movie he is in. What I don't get is that he was born in Sacremento, CA, but he has a southwestern accent in almost all fims I've seen him in, including the non-westerns and his voice-over work. He was in BC&TSK in 1969, so was his accent acquired for the westerns and he just decided to keep it, or what? This reminds me of Mel Gibson, who after spending his late childhood and early adulthood in Australia, spoke with such an accent until he decided to live in the U.S. Now, he speaks with an American accent.

Juxtaposed with you, Nef, "The Duke" looks smallish. I know Wayne was tall, but did he have a small frame? Or, is there a perspective issue with the camera?
Where is Musso's museum?

I liked Widmark in his crab-apple character role very much, except for the scene when he finds out his wife had passed. His performance was hand and fist above L. Harvey's. Harvey couldn't decide on using his southern accent, or Wayne told him to quit it. Is there a story there?
