X5 home.
Along with a plastic bucket with a hole in it (1/2" pipe fitting) that I intend to use to spray water over whatever keeps tulipting outside my living room window.
Tea/dinner this evening was, unusually, M&S breaded haddock not cooked within an inch of bursting into flames.
It was much nicer that way.
This evening's televisual epic is currently in a state of quantum flux coz the cat isn't dead or alive at the moment.

This evening's epic, as it transpired was "Rio Lobo (1970)" with Duke Wayne, Jack Elam, & a lot of people I'd never heard of.
Rio Lobo (1970) - IMDb
It shows distinct signs of being somewhat influenced by the spaghetti westerns.
There's even a guy in a poncho.
It was amusing enough, there was even fake blood and fairly unspectacular "bullet impacts", showing how far things had changed regarding the production code, but the Duke is still the Duke.
It was amusing enough, but a bit tame compared, say, with "The Wild Bunch" the year before.

The "wot to watch" decision gets ever more problematic.
Turns out I bought "Rio Lobo" in 2013.
From a charity emporium that isn't there any more.
I seem to be on a bit of a Duke Wayne kick at the moment.
It was very pleasant to see Jack Elam again.
I might just dig out "Once upon a time in the West" at some personal risk considering its position in a pile.
Charlie Bronson's in that too.
I seem to be rather knackered which isn't too surprising considering I've had about 9 hours sleep since Sunday.
Maggie Thatcher I'm not.

I can also recommend "John Wayne: The Life and Legend" by Scott Eyman.Old Greg - In search of acceptance since Mar 2007. Hoping each leap will be his last.Comment

Where the poncho came from, I dunno.

Not a lot of people know that.
"Rio Lobo" is a remake of "El Dorado" which is a remake of "Rio Bravo".
The last really good film he made was "The Shootist", though "True Grit" and "Rooster Cogburn" are excellent too.Last edited by DoctorStrangelove; 19 February 2019, 22:46.When the fun stops, STOP.Comment
