Western Previews

[zalena]

The best laugh I've had all weekend:

Cowboys & Aliens: Someone's been mutilating the cattle, again!

Also, Warrior's Way: "Damn... ninjas."

Which reminds me, I should probably cave and see Sukiyaki Western Django, but I've been avoiding the whole KungFu Western sub-genre---especially anything attached to Quentin Tarantino---and I'm not sure I want to go it alone. However, this preview owes an enormous amount to Sergio Leone, so maybe I should take the plunge. After all, it took samurai movies to get me to finally grok the Western.

The above look like truly dreadful amusements, but it's the Coen Bros doing True Grit that I really can't wait to see. I've been waiting on this one all year. It looks like they're going classic, but the Coen Bros can't resist fiddling with their homages, so I'll have to wait until I get through it to make a judgment call.

This is a FOUR deadline week with everything due by Tuesday. I am well and truly burnt out.

Dog-sitting next week.

And then, I'm getting a PIANO! So excited.
