What "Western" character would you be?

[Belly]

Bad Bob. Drinking boiling coffee straight from the jug, and then getting shot with a cannon.

I would like to be as cool as James Coburn in the magnificent 7.
However, the mad old bearded prospector (Lee Marvin in "paint your wagon") would probably be more in my line.

Slightly OT there is a great Philip Larkin poem about being the character in a western novel and how your aspirations change with age ........ anybody recollect it ? I don't have my collection handy.

 

[subaqua]

Hmm see through plastic...that would make a very different western!!

thats a whole different thread . prawn versions of famous films - the good the bad and the butt plugly for example.

 

[Vapin' Joe]

I don't care, just so long as I'm Clint Eastwood.

Tough.

Never knew your twin brother Smokin? He was brung up by nuns in a convent out Salt Lake City ways. He ain't bin round these parts so go easy now son.

How do you feel about having Keith O as a prospective son in law?

You really should have put:

I always found his skin-tight outfit a bit disturbing - for a program made in the 50's

Yes, he was a bit camp, wasn't he? Blimey......

'Is that a gun in your pocket or are you just glad to see me?'

In the process I'd probably faint and need to have my stays loosened.
Whether or not I shot you in the hairy cacti would depend if you're the guy that gets killed early for no reason, or the majestically tall baddie in the black hat who turns out to have a heart of gold under his weathered skin

you've really thought this through, haven't you?

 

[dellzeqq]

I'd like think I was the fiesty self reliant woman runnin' her own ranch against all odds, wearin' trousers and seein' off the bad guys.

Or it might be fun being the woman who runs the bordello, although I don't fancy the corsets.

Marlene Dietrich in Destry Rides Again?

I'd go for Alan Ladd. Sure he was a shorty, but the perks made up for that

A right barrel of laughs was phil.

 

[accountantpete]

Dirk Bogarde's gay John Wayne/Alvin Stardust fusion.

 

[alecstilleyedye]

Was it in Blazing Saddles that a woman sang, "Men! - Always coming and going, going and coming ... and always too soon"?
Maybe I'd be her

yep, that would be lilli von stupp "is that a ten gallon hat cowboy, or you just enjoying the show?"

i'd be yul brenner in westworld, not because of any remote resemblance, but because it's one of the few films of a western bent that i can watch; the other being the one referenced by User13710…

 

[Yellow Fang]

Tough.

Please, please, please can I be Clint Eastwood?
