Watched it with my parents; my dad saw it in a theater when he was young. Ford was good.

I should read 3:10 To Yuma. I've seen the original once, the one with Russel Crowe & Christian Bale, four times, and will see it more, since we bought a copy. We own the Glenn Ford '57 Yuma too. I'm going to put Leonard's book on hold at the library. <br /><br />-- Johnny YumaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1407034878188607881.post-7295766803676833262011-09-16T14:36:48.793-07:002011-09-16T14:36:48.793-07:00John, ever read an old western by Elmore Leonard c...John, ever read an old western by Elmore Leonard called The Law at Randado?

You are a Sir Galahad of language. Most bastards just use it for their own ends ! They want to just fuck language whilst thinking of something else, and steal it's cigarettes and tube-pass in the morning. They don't care if language itself comes or not.<br /><br />I fell for James Wright (Bly's old buddy) many years ago.<br />I remember:<br /><br />The New York poets come to me with their mangled figures of speech. <br />They have no pity for the pure, clear word."<br /><br />and<br /><br />Dear reader, we had a beautiful language,<br />We did not use it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1407034878188607881.post-67589063338804798992011-09-15T09:26:30.436-07:002011-09-15T09:26:30.436-07:00Blade Runner is one of my favorites also.

Favreau's Cowboys and Aliens has both, but I haven't seen it yet. <br /><br />Thank you, Harald and Bogartte, for your comments. <br /><br />-- JohnAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1407034878188607881.post-16739484993154652182011-09-14T21:52:27.825-07:002011-09-14T21:52:27.825-07:00Bladerunner, one of my favorite movies.

It should also be noted that after a brutal battle, and after Deckard has brutally killed all his comrades without compassion, Batty looks at Deckard's suffering, shows empathy, and saves him, only to die.<br />Nice article!Harald Striepehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06582880871632720395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1407034878188607881.post-36271643606095114092011-09-14T21:13:48.216-07:002011-09-14T21:13:48.216-07:00Ah, John, what a marvelous review!
