Yeah, I can see that if the people are unpleasant, it can be a real turnoff. We see the glitz that they
want us to see - not what really goes on. I occasionally hear that some actor was really a jerk, and
mean, when they play a really super nice person on their movies or TV show. That's a bit jarring
and disappointing. But, you also hear that some are really nice folks, like Gary Sinise and Denzel
Washington.
I actually haven't seen a lot of movies in the last 20 years, love watching westerns from the 50s, 60s
and 70s. Currently working our way through all the 'Gunsmokes'. I remember them but was a bit too young
to pay a lot of attention. Amazingly hard stories with really vicious unrepentent bad folks in many of
them. Perhaps good to appreciate that not everyone is a nice guy. And, living in KS and driving through
the Dodge City area many times - boy those guys could RIDE! Be in Dodge one day and just ride over
to Great Bend.......in a day. It is 85 miles today, must have been closer back then.
I have to laugh, having
ridden a horse 40 miles in a day, which is a hard, long day in the saddle for me. TV makes it all easier.
