You've been spying on me when I'm out of chocolate!

It's like a munchkin western.

Nope. Seasonings is 6' 1 (or 2, depending on how straight he stands)" tall.

How tall are you when you're lying down?
On a bad hair day?
In stiletto heels?
Standing in a hole?

John Ford, they rode together. Fantastic remake. Great performances.

HT playing in two roles, I think. What an actor. The body language when he grabs that coke and runs away with it, clearly an homage to Dennis Hopper in The Sons of Katie Elder, if I am not mistaken by the joy of seeing such a superb acting.

The performance of that giant of acting IAm(NotAChicken) is staggering. The play of the hands and tears is moving.

But the star is Kenny, who, inspired by the Burl Ives of the Big Country, magisterially directed, has been capable of building a new term of comparison and imitation for rising thespians.

The camera works with the aviation must have cost a mint.



I appreciate particularly the mention of the school room. A full historical reconstruction of the old ways condensed in just a scene. Class.

P.S. It would be nice to have the credits of this masterpiece collected and published. I am too young and alien to the tongue to even try to do it. But as I got the notion that one of the leading characters is volunteering to collect the screen play, I put my little talent forward to collaborate to the critical introduction of this masterpiece, a rhapsody of the historical Western.

Only the bribe of an iPad will force me to reveal the winner's name!

Ok, give us the name, and I'll send you an iPad when I get money to buy 2.

"Quiet down right now" snapped Rebar-toting-Mom, the strictest governess in three counties. "You still have to finish your French grammar lesson before you're allowed out for recess!" In spite of wearing gowns slathered with bright yellow sunflowers, Rebar-t-Mom was tough, and kept those two gals under control. She began dragging the two reluctant students back to the school room just as the on-coming horses thundered into the yard!

Oh my! You've captured my personality so accurately, it's scary!

I am 5'5", 5'6" or 5'7", depending on what proportion of the speed of light I am travelling at. Anyway, it's all relative.

I feel positively tall (given that depending on who's measuring me and how I come in somewhere between 5'5" and 5'7" - I'm only short compared to the yeti, although my mother still seems to think I'm about 5'3")
