There's something vastly appealing about that crusty old guy kicking ass, but then again, I tend to prefer actors in their twilight...<br /><br />PetePete Fernbaughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01460546076208578503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5408368436169661319.post-60929916923921941022012-01-19T20:18:49.427-05:002012-01-19T20:18:49.427-05:00Chris:

Why, just your mention of it sets it to playing in the old head! <br /><br />“Chisum! Jo-ohn Chisum! Weary! Saddle worn…” <br /><br />And William Conrad lays some “spoken word” on us… <br /><br />Great paintings over the theme, too! <br /><br />But, back to BIG JAKE… 2005 release? John Wayne?! C’mon, folks… not even a trailer! What WERE you thinking! <br /><br />Joe.Joe Torciviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00421096229407174474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5408368436169661319.post-2408981724677479022012-01-19T11:54:31.456-05:002012-01-19T11:54:31.456-05:00Joe,

Still, I admit to being appalled, as you were, by the cavalierly barest-of-bare-bones treatment of this DVD release. (As sad as it sounds, it's just as bad as your typical DISNEY AFTERNOON DVD release!)<br /><br />ChrisChris Barathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06845538037091279990noreply@blogger.com
