Default Re: How has the LRC affected your view of "Babylon?"

Igzy,

You and I are pretty much on the same page here.

But one question. Which voice do you hear when Rooster Cogburn says that? Wayne or Bridges?

I actually never saw the John Wayne version until after seeing the new one. The beauty of the outdoors was so impressive in the old version, but the reality of the life and times was actually better in the new. The West was overly glamorized in most John Wayne films.

But the real question is: How do you go by horseback from Fort Smith, Arkansas to the kind of mountains they were in after only a couple of days? They had to be half-way across New Mexico or Colorado to find mountains with that look (in either film).
