I'm with all you on the sentiments. In my opinion his western flix are top notch!

Re: Sure Wish This Guy Would...
Definately one of the best! However, I seen an interview with him which was discussing his role in Blue Bloods. They discussed the possibility of another western. His response kind of shocked me, if I understood it correctly it implied that he doesnt plan to do another western. I sure hope I am wrong!
Others I would like to see in westerns are Sam Elliott, Robert Duval, Kevin Cosner, and Tommy Lee Jones.

Re: Sure Wish This Guy Would...
great actor for sure....
he was trying to get the rights to Empty Land by Louie Lamour...
but jesse stone series took off....not to mention blue bloods..

Re: Sure Wish This Guy Would...
He usually shows up at gun show in Vegas. Chad is down there now for the show that starts tomorrow. I'm hoping I can make it next year.
Love the Jesse Stone series too.
He's right next to John Wayne as far as the effect on me.

Re: Sure Wish This Guy Would...
one of my favorite westerns had val kilmer in it. Tombstone. I think that was one of val's best roles he ever did. And ditto on the sam elliott and Mr. Selleck. I read an article a few months ago on the fall of the western movie. Something about movies that incite fighting for what you believe in and standing up for yourself/rights, capital punishment, etc, are not accepted or politically correct in today's society. Shameful. I guess movies that instill morals and character all around are generally unacceptable. Today, it's all about explosions, sleeping around, meaningless violence, and false history.

Re: Sure Wish This Guy Would...
Westerns haven't been popular in Hollywierd for 30 years or more. For all the reasons stated above. But... by gosh when they're done right, they're rock solid money makers and those investors love makin' money! The western was said to be as dead as the Egyptian Pharoahs before JW died... don't count 'em down and out just yet!

He was in The Sacketts with Sam Elliott, and was in a couple of other good westerns. I liked Last Stand at Sabre River. Some folks were just meant to be cowboys.

I saw a Tommy Lee Jones western last monthhorsesoldier03 wrote: Others I would like to see in westerns are Sam Elliott, Robert Duval, Kevin Cosner, and Tommy Lee Jones.
The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada
This movie is not for everyone, but is a modern tale of western justice, in a Don Quixote sort of way.
Produced by Luc Besson, directed by Tommy Lee
It was one of the free on demand movies on Time Warner Cable. Worth checking out if you have TWC.

All 3 are the same story line almost to the scene. It's fun to watch them on split screen...

I'd like to see a sequel to Quigley Down Under. You reckon he could still hold up that old Sharps.

Re: Sure Wish This Guy Would...
You know, when he was younger (Magnum era) he could never have pulled it off. Now that he's aged a bit and gotten cragey it works. But, I imagine between the weekly cop show and the intermittant Jesse Stone offerings, he doesn't have much time.

Re: Sure Wish This Guy Would...
As old as these actors are getting, they are still my favorite current era cowboys, and I'd watch any Western that they are a part of. For one reason or another, they are (to me) totally believable as cowboys with that independent spirit:
Tom Selleck
Robert Duvall
Sam Elliott
Clint Eastwood

Then again. Clint was a "pretty boy" when he did Rawhide, and Michael Landon was one as well when he did Bonanza.

Tom Selleck, one of my favorite actors; I wish that he would have played Jack Reacher instead of Tom Tinkerbell Cruise.

Ditto, I might want to see it even. As frequent readers of the Reacher series my wife and I both thought TC was as poor a casting choice as we could imagine. Reacher should have been an unknown actor who had the size and demeanor to play it. The only smaller actor I could see doing it would be Tommy Lee Jones, and he's a little too old. Nick Searcy maybe?

I think 15-20 years ago he would have. Would have made a much better Reacher!! Although a terrible actor, Dolph Lundgren had the size. Maybe Josh Brolin would have been believable...he pulled off Jonah Hex.damienph wrote:Tom Selleck, one of my favorite actors; I wish that he would have played Jack Reacher instead of Tom Tinkerbell Cruise.

I suspect that TC bought the production rights to the Reacher series and cast himself. I cannot imagine any other producer that would have picked him for the part.Larkbill wrote:" I wish that he would have played Jack Reacher instead of Tom Tinkerbell Cruise"

Re: Sure Wish This Guy Would...
didn't see more than the trailer for Tom Reacher, but it looked really lame.damienph wrote:Tom Selleck, one of my favorite actors; I wish that he would have played Jack Reacher instead of Tom Tinkerbell Cruise.
The problem with Selleck is Reacher is 28 y o (and just one the problems for Cruise, Reacher doesn't own a car - there goes the star of that movie)
Re: Sure Wish This Guy Would...
Yea, cruise is a way to short, and prissy looking to play Reacher. They mention, at least once in every book, his physical size, especially his large hands. The problem woth Selleck, is that he's just too old to play Reacher. I've got to agree that at this point in time, it would have to be some unknown of the right dimensions as their just isn't anyone around right now that could pull it off.Larkbill wrote:" I wish that he would have played Jack Reacher instead of Tom Tinkerbell Cruise"

Of course, they will probably shoot from low angles and have Tommy boy stand on a box to make him look taller.
