Question:you and millions of other fans. it would be cool if Eastwood would make? a final movie with the Man with No Name as a director. For instance, he would be able as a director to do a remake of The Good, The Bad and The ugly 1967 and cooperates again with Alberto Grimaldi - the real italian producer from 1967.

Iam a great fan of that 1967 classic. what do u think of that?

Well the "movies" is all about money, fame and fiction. Yes, there are a few facts spewed about to make it believable and give the movie some credibility. But it's still a marketing ploy, short and simple.

They Wild Wild West my grand father told me about and I experienced the last of it myself had little resemblance to the movie you mention. People were pitting themselves against the elements more than bandits. The plains provided many challenges one of which was surviving the dust, thirst and heat of the open plains. Many women dies while giving birth because nobody was there to help them bring their child into the world and one or both died. They ARE buried in some unknown location or were left so the elements would naturally take care of the dead.

I don't think Clint Eastwood could so justice to the Wild Wild West as Gibson did to Christ in the Passion. But, I'd like him to try it. I think Clint Eastwood has done some justice to the battle of Iwo Jima in his movie Letters From Iwo Jima. Seen that one yet?

I like to think it did.

As newspaper editor Edmond O'Brien says in John Ford's magnificent The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance (1962), "When the truth becomes legend, print the legend".
