Spaghetti Should Be Food Only

Dec 28, 2009 17:13

I'm finally getting around to watching some of the "Spaghetti Westerns".  I've meant to watch them for many years.  I dislike westerns in general,  but one should be exposed to a wide range of popular culture.

I can forgive production values.  I can forgive special effects based on the age of the films.  I'm not knowledgeable enough about the period to criticize weaponry or clothing.

I just watched an entire mounted platoon gunned down by a Gatling, but the horses lived.

These are simply vehicles for the romantic, overblown idea of cowboys and gunslingers.  They're not fun for me.  I'm slogging through because I have nothing to do at work.
