How the West was Won?

noop.

Hollywood's cynical bitchassedness is no more evident than the failure to preserve the innovative experimental processes like Cinerama, Vistavision, IMAX, etc.  More than half of the 70mm IMAX domes have been demolished or converted to giant flat digital projection touted as "better" and "the most advanced in the world".

How the West was Won was 1 of only 2 films made with the 3-strip Cinerama process.   There may be a couple of people on this board who saw it in the theater in 1962 in Cinerama.

Anyway, Westerns....

The best western ever is clearly “Red Sun” with Charles Bronson and Toshiro Mifune, and anyone who thinks differently should be immediately labeled a hilarious moron.

You guys might want to catch this segment on Fox where Urban is talking about the disparity between the playoff teams and everyone else. Might explain a bit why Urban may not be ready to jump back in. 

it was depressing

Needs to expand to 8 and then there’s more of a free for all.  I think talent is concentrating again and that’s not cool for the sport.

Joel Klatt has talked about it before on his weekly segment on the Ticket here in Dallas. The CFP while enjoyable has made the richer get even richer and the poor even poorer. Unfortunately, we've combined bad coaching with not being relevant in the CFP era. So the talent we need to get into the CFP is going where they can get into the CFP or NFL. So if it's not Urban, we have to pray the next guy can coach up the existing talent and break the cycle. It's also why we can't afford another year of Tom Herman.

last year my girlfriend and I drove from the Rio Grande to the Milk River. Tried to follow the Goodnight Loving Trail as best we could. 

Great idea for a trip.

The Searchers is my personal favorite, followed by The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance. The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly is a great one, but probably an hour longer than it needs to be. I’d echo @troph on the True Grit remake. Much better than I expected it to be. 
 

A good one from the 80’s is Silverado. It’s not in the Pantheon of Greatness, but a lot of fun to watch.

Pay attention!  At 10:01 Urban turned to the camera and blinked Hook 'Em in Morse Code.

It's happening.

Yep. I notice no teasing this weekend. Would be shocked if Texas gets mentioned at all.

Shane was great. But I have to laugh at any list that doesn't include Tombstone or the original True Grit. I also have a soft spot for The Professionals, largely because of the star power of the cast.

Game Day location is awesome today.

Indeed.  I'll be watching the game at West Point this afternoon.

Wise move to keep Corso on Zoom.  NY might have sentenced him to the nursing home chambers.

Corso hasn't been onsite with them all season.

I love watching the dynamic on that set. The guys obviously respond to "Coach" as the leader there, just as they would on the field.
