    If you're a fan of Westerns, and haven't yet discovered the blog "Jeff Arnold's West, The blog of a Western fan for other Western fans," check it out. He'll introduce you to many well-worth-watching Westerns you've never heard anything about. Arnold's done that for me.

    INSP shrinking Westerns?

    I've just noticed this in the last week or two. Called my cable company and they say it isn't being done by them. We get channels for the SD and HD versions of that channel and some older shows in HD are being shrunk to have black bars on the top and bottom, not just, as normal, on the sides. High Chaparral was shrunk, but the next show, Wagon Train, wasn't. But the commercials were. Anyone else have this? This wasn't happening before.

    Bruce Timm & Paul Dini Animated Western Series

    Would you want to see these two create an adult animated series? They are responsible for the DCAU and creation of Harley Quinn and Livewire.

    The Adaptation

    The Man from Laramie, Yellow Sky and Red River (aside from being fantastic westerns) are all inspired or based upon classic stories.

    Yellow Sky and The Man from Laramie were inspired by Shakespeare's The Tempest and King Lear respectively, and Red River was based Mutiny on the Bounty.

    Can you think of any other westerns inspired by classic works? Be they myths, Bible stories, Shakespeare etc.

    What are some that you would like to see?

    Just watched Once Upon A Time In The West and I have a few questions…

    First off I love the film. The story, the pace, the acting, the score was amazing, and has there ever been a western with a more attractive female lead?

    But I’m curious about a few things…when Harmonica first is at the McBain farm after the family is killed, he is in the barn with Jill and walks her back tearing off a piece of her dress and then holds her down and continues tearing her dress….just to ask for water and then they both walk outside like nothing happened. What’s up with that?

    Also, why did Jill look so pleased to sleep with Frank? Even after she knew he was the one who killed her family and he was saying horrible things to her? Wikipedia says it was a threatening sexual encounter but she seemed to enjoy it.

    Just a couple thoughts after watching.

    Lee Van Cleef is the scariest actor in Western history.

    I mean come on who wouldn't be scared of Angel eyes if they came across him in 1862.

    "Rio Grande" (1950) completed John Ford's cavalry trilogy. Herbert Yates, president of Republic Pictures, agreed to fund Ford's "The Quiet Man," if Ford would first provide Republic with a western starring John Wayne and Maureen O'Hara - who would be the stars of "The Quiet Man" (1952).

    Continuing with John Ford's cavalry trilogy, we have "She Wore a Yellow Ribbon" (1949). This follow-up to "Fort Apache" (1948) was shot in Technicolor, on a budget of $1,600,000, and earned over $5,000,000.

    Supposed plot hole in for a few dollars more.

    The good the bad and the ugly is a prequel set in the civil war era to the other 2 dollars films which are set post-civil war. Blondie in the good the bad and the ugly met saw and recognised angel eyes... But then why in for a few dollars more when he sees the same actor Lee Van Cleef he doesn't question him on looking like Angel eyes? He doesn't mention even once "Hey you're identical to someone I have met before", he doesn't acknowledge they are identical.
