Title: Where have all the cowboys gone?
Post by: ednbarby on August 03, 2006, 10:57:57 am

Check out what my longtime cyberfriend Jess (from other boards - I've known her for about 10 years, now) made for me over at youtube.

I love the whole thing, but I particularly love the ending and the shots she chose for "Where is my Marlboro Man?  Where is his shiny gun?"

That's wonderful, and it really is dedicatied to you, right up there on the big screen!  I like that song.  Thanks for sharing it with us, Barb.  I like seeing some of the still s that aren't in the film.

You've got yourself a good friend there, Barb.

Really enjoyed the montage/song - haven't seen one in ages!

Thanks for sharing.

I sure do, Roland.  I know she's been working on it in her leisure time, which is more limited than mine since she works two jobs and is getting ready to move across the country, for a couple of months.  She wouldn't tell me what song she was gonna use, and I'm glad now she didn't.  It was a nice surprise - I haven't heard that song in ages.  It's one of those one-hit-wonders - they played the living daylights out of it when it first came out, and now you can't pay them to find it let alone play it.

I found the montage much more Alma/Lureen-centric than most others I've seen, but I know this girl particularly related to Alma because of a similar personal experience.  She still loved the movie and rooted for Ennis and Jack, as shown by the way she ends it in a little homage to their love.

It's always interesting to see a different take on it.
