I agree about pacing 100%.<br /><br />Maurice, thanks and enjoy: good to know Johnny is still occasionally making films that are not about pirates or set in the Caribbean.Sci-Fi Genehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18038987149801517138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3450657908743578837.post-9986850678875081662011-06-01T13:26:07.475+01:002011-06-01T13:26:07.475+01:00I love spaghetti westerns and Blazing Saddles is a...I love spaghetti westerns and Blazing Saddles is a piece of cinematic genius. Good to know that Rango salutes them. Depp is a genius so I know I'll enjoy it.

"What in the Wide, Wide World of Sports is a-going on here?" (Okay, sorry, had to be done.)<br /><br />You got me thinking about the western genre... One issue was pacing. Even though there was action in the Spaghetti Westerns, the late 60s was not the best time for pacing... everything seemed to go very slowly by today's standards.<br /><br />Also-- character. The Spaghetti Westerns weren't known, or meant, for character depth. I enjoyed Rooster Cogburn, but that was later and John Wayne's character and Katharine Hepburn's were both very animate with lots of layer of personality.Jenn of Many Cabbageshttp://www.cabbagesnkings.netnoreply@blogger.com
