Now, here we go again with these "cowboys" who do nothing more than heard sheep.
They're shepherds, and ask a rancher what he thinks about land that has had sheep on it.
Just goes to show you that being a cowboy equates to nothing more than wearing the right fashion accessories.
I know, I'm off topic. It's just now that this has dawned on me, though. They're just called cowboys because they're wearing a hat and boots. Hopefully designer, right?
Absolutely correct.
The notion that the anyone in Hollywood would even know how to ride a horse without a three month preparatory course is laughable.
Whatever happened to actors like Jimmy Stewart, Lee Marvin, and Charles Durning?
Wrong. they're called "cowboys" because this film is an attack on the icon of masculinity in western civilization.
Quite transparent if you ask me, and hard to miss. "'Cowboys' who herd sheep?" How much more obvious can they be? geez.
Do they acutally "stump-break" a heifer in this movie?
And that matterssssssssss....why?
Heard them do what exactly?
Just goes to show you that being a cowboy equates to nothing more than wearing the right fashion accessories.
I've been having cowboy training since I was 5 and you can't tell by looking.
I think you are repressing some desire to be a gay cowboy.
I'm an Idaho boy. There are cowboys and there are sheepherders and they're not interchangeable. There's a good deal of hatred between them for the reason you mention. I'm waiting to hear what the cattle people have to say about this movie. Has Baxter Black written anything about it? I was raised in sheep country and in those days only the ewes had reason to cast fearful backward glances. Now the gay revolution has wormed its way from West Hollywood to Wyoming and even male sheep have reason to be worried.
I'd call them sheep herders; definitely not cowboys!!!
