I met Clint Eastwood at Six Flags Magic Mountain in June of 1978 at the opening of the Colossus rollercoaster ride. He was so cool and chill standing in the queue for 45 minutes to get on the ride like everyone else. I was blown away by his humility. I will always love him.

Rape would have been more common back then also getting shot in the back the Wild West was a lawless place and no law brings out the worst in humanity.

You're so right, the other night I watched about 45 minutes of "Mr and Mrs Smith". I like Brad Pitt, he's a fine actor. But damn, I think it might be the worst movie I've ever seen. Good scripts and meaningful dialogue have been replaced by endless explosions and clever banter, neither does a thing for the STORY. In my opinion Tarantino's the only major director who gives a shit about dialogue and not overdoing it. And it's no surprise that he idolizes Sergio Leone....

[@smokelesschoice165]

That's almost impossible in most small towns that I was in. Many of them are close knit communities that aren't too keen on embracing loners or drifters in a sense. And if a stranger isn't very talkative to the town's people when they strike up a conversation, or the loner isn't interested in any of their welcome wagons if such a person decides to live there, they are looked upon as the odd one out and are then scrutinized. Either that or the town's people find some way to make your stay as uncomfortable as possible in hopes you'll eventually move elsewhere. Of course, this is not the case with all small towns though. Some people in these communities leave each other alone and don't even bid a 'hello' to one another on the street. Each place is different. Different strokes for different folks I guess. Even when I was passing through and stopped in a tavern and saw someone sitting on a bar stool or in a corner by themselves, I left them alone. I knew better than to walk up to them and say, "Hey partner!! How goes it?! Never seen you before?! Why are you sitting all by yourself?! Why the long face?! Why the ominous silence from your end?! That's not good!! Why are you ignoring me?!" No. They wanted to be alone, so I left them alone.
