Tombstone - Gunfight at the OK Corral

 

Good a chance as any to post this scene as it happened on this day in 1881. There were 30 shots in real life - never counted how many happened in the movie.

Flotsam and Jetsam

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

Actor Bill Paxton has passed away at age 61... Knowing that Neil Diamond wrote Sweet Caroline about a prepubescent Caroline Kennedy - his song Girl You'll Be a Woman Soon is even more creepy... What were people in the 1970's fucking thinking!...

Kevin Jarre

Kevin Jarre wrote the screenplays to some very entertaining movies such as Rambo: First Blood Part II; Glory and Tombstone. He also wrote the story for the movie The Mummy. That's some serious Hollywood credits to his name.

The reason I bring Kevin Jarre up is because it seems he hasn't written anything since The Mummy in 1999. It's coming up on 10-years without anything new from Kevin Jarre. Writer's block?
