Mule Brain,
I watched Red River as a kid [long time ago] & have to say, it wasn't all that bad for a John Wayne movie. I don't really dislike the man, its just that John Wayne played John Wayne in all the movies he made.eace:

Why all the hatred for John Wayne? I don't think you'll have much luck convincing his fans he was terrible. Many of those same fans are decendents of Alamo defenders or other early Texans as well.
If you had a point, it is lost on those you're preaching it to.

Give me a break, why don't you read the other posts, before you post! NO one said anything about hating John Wayne & no one is trying to convince you or anyone else of anything.
Oh okay, if I don't care for John Wayne's acting then I'm talking bad about the defenders of the Alamo & their decendents? That has to be the most asinine thing I've ever heard. You know, a mind is a terrible thing to waste Pal.

Just my two cents on John Wayne...good actor..bad actor..whatever. The fact is he was a role model for one hell of a lot of youngsters. The fact is..I have yet to see any actor after him even coming close to filling his shoes...IMO. Oh, one other[url] thing...aside[/url] from perhaps one or two "modern" actors....Wayne talked like a[url] man...in[/url] his films acted like a man..and IMO...was a man...not like most of the palefaced, wimpy, PC, woman voiced actors we see today. I guess one could say the same for Robert Mitchum and George C. Scott. Same breed... As long as I'm on a rant...the majority of male singers we hear today..what happened...thier voice never changed from a kid's to a man's that had some gravel in it? No...I would not walk across the street today to meet what we have for male actors or singers.

Of note ... at the Wayne "Alamo" Filmfest in Brackettville, Texas in Oct 22 we have just heard that a number of the Wayne family will be in attendance for the showing! Along with other cast members possibly even Joan O'Brien (Ms Dickinson) and Aissa Wayne( Angelina Dickinson) ... WOW should be a great time!

Simply put ... I could not disagree more! Regardless of the opinion expressed, and you are welcome to your opinion .. obviously most of America disagrees with that assessment, as determined by his popularity. No ... fact is Wayne was no Gary Cooper or Hunmphrey Bogart (thank god!) but he was and is, a very popular actor .. who played, who else "the Duke" in his films ... and one that was well liked by the majority of film goers.
I just wish in this day of frankly very poor boys-to-men actors ... that we had more like him in Hollywood ...I rest my case ... :shake:

As one of the people who helped get this thread off topic, I apologize. One feather is right, it's a stupid thing to be fighting about!
It's not about the actors or how good or bad they were, but about the real people who died there, what ever their reason. Can we not agree about that?

I love that line in Red River! "What are you gonna do Tom shoot me"? No I am gonna hang ya! :crackup:
No, don't hang me!! :crackup:
Thomas also called Tom.

I think it's the condescending attitude I was most put off by. All the time spent explaining why those of us who hold the actor in high esteem are mistaken, then denying it all doesn't make you near as smart as you seem to think you are.
I guess it was really you who didn't understand my post, probably because I'm stupid and can't express myself. What I mean is that there are quite a few Texans who fed their appetite for the heroic story of their ancestors by watching John Wayne's movie(s), and identifying his character and what it represented with those of their ancestors. Or, to put it simply, quite a few Texans can realistically appreciate the sacrifices and courage of their ancestors and still like John Wayne at the same time.
Forgive me for my stupidity. I am obviously unworthy of this discussion.

Now take a look at your picture over there in your avatar and (mine for that matter :
and tell me what looks silly in the 21st century! :crackup:We are all silly overgrowed kiddos with our obsessions, but what tha hey ... boys with our toys .. right? ::
Davy
Let it go! If you want to fight, pick something else. I said what I said & will let it stand, your now copping Plea's!
Look, my mom was born in Wichita, TX. [ my dad was from Hucchinson, KN.] he got to know who would become my Mom in W11, went to work in Wa. State [after 5 mo. of the end of the war, desided he couldn'd live without her & sent her the money to get out here. I was at Fort Sam in the early 70's in the army & when discharged, left with a wife, who just happen to be born in San Antonto.
I never said you were stupid nor did I ever say "I hated John Wayne". I did apologize & Then you came out of the wood work like a worm, get back in there or I'll get the can of Raid! :crackup:

One more time, I have to say one feather is right & so is Davy!
It is silly to be fighting over an actor, boys & their toys is right! Hey I'll admit it & it's over for me.
If anyone wants to fight with me, I'll fight over Chili, it should have lots of beans in it! Needless to say I've had it both ways & still do, but with beans is the right way!
