best western

[thez]

So mi padre came to visit me today, and we went to see a movie this afternoon.

3:10 to Yuma is a great western!

Enough plot to pull me through the story, kick-ass fight scenes, and great music. I'm not sure most people realize how important music is to a good western.

Also: Alan Tudyk! Whom I love, though not as much as demonlet does.

Actually, I think the greatest praise I can give this movie is that it made me LIKE Russel Crowe, who was previously my topmost hated actor. The film did a great job of making me fall in love with his character. In his FIRST SCENE when he rode off to catch the stage coach and left that happy little sketch of the hawk with the big eyes signed "Wade", he had my heart. Awww.

There's actually a lot in this movie that I could gush about, so I'll stop while I'm ahead.

Ultimately, I have only one complaint: They filmed this in New Mexico??

LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMEEEEEEEEEE.


HAHAHA Yuma Jail.

I've BEEN to Yuma Jail.

I MEET A MEEJ AT YUMA JAIL. It was windy as all get-out. I had my jacket in one hand and a prickly pear cactus fruit milkshake in the other hand, and we were both wearing our sunglasses and looking supremely bad ass.

That day, at Yuma Jail!

DUDE WE MAY HAVE BEEN IN YUMA AT THREE-TEN, EVEN.

(Driving around aimlessly. But still looking badass.)

You weren't driving aimlessly, you were RAMBLING. AWESOMELY. Huge difference!
