Ha, Tombstone is one of our all-time favorites, probably second only to Open Range. There’s pretty much nothin’ that can top Val Kilmer’s Doc Holliday twirling his tin cup to mimic Johnny Ringo, and the line, “I’m your huckleberry.” Best to you. Enjoying the blog very much.

@Rebecca…thanks for the kind words and glad I could turn you guys on to Yuma. I try and cut some slack with recoil since I know they’re shooting blanks but a good actor can make it look real. I’m thinking Kurt Russel in Tombstone. He made it look like those .45s were buckin and rollin and the sound effects even put in blackpowder roars! In fact, I think I’m gonna go trhow in that DVD

Eric, I really enjoyed this article, as my husband and I are big Western fans. I don’t know how we had missed 3:10 to Yuma — actually we remembered the first part of it, so we must have gotten interrupted and sent it back to Netflix. But your posted prompted us to try again, and we truly enjoyed it. We are big gun-nuts, too, though not as much as you are, and we thoroughly enjoyed you weapon imagery. It was dead on. Westerns in which the shooting is inauthentic — those where everyone hits exactly what they’re shooting at, no kick back, etc. — leave us more than a little dissatisfied, but Yuma was a winner. Thanks for the recommendation, and I will always remember, “I love Westerns, and I don’t trust people who don’t.” Best to you.
