Is that your desire for accuracy kicking in again? You telling me you didn't like Emilio Estevez's portrayal in Young Guns? I hear what you're saying though, but it's all about needing star power for marketing. Plus Dane Dehaan is a fine actor andI think will be a good fit.
Yeah, but I saw Young Guns long before I saw anything resembling a documentary on Billy the Kid.
But, yeah, as long as the guy does good, it will be good. I've not seen him in a whole lot, so I reserve judgment. Skimming through his list, The Amazing Spider-Man jumps out at me, but I only saw that once, about the time it came out on DVD.
Though, Hollywood does some weird age things anyway. Nothing is quite as bad as the movie Tombsone, which had then 72-year-old Harry Carey Jr. play Marshal Fred White. The real Fred White was shot dead at the age of 31 in Tombstone, AZ.
Sounds like you're a big fan of the western genre. I think it was war movies and cop movies that killed the western. But we don't get too many of either of those genres anymore either. Natural evolution as societal tastes change I suppose.
Yep, I love a good Western. Especially John Wayne and Clint Eastwood back in the day. But, some of Clint's cop movies are good too. I really like the Dirty Harry series.
These days, Sci-Fi and Fantasy films seem to be the hot ticket. That's why I love see stuff like this come out. It's more of a novelty these days than it once was.
