I often wonder that if John Wayne were alive today, what would he think/do/say regarding the current events of the world. Not just the current regime in DC and Congress, but Iraq, Afghanistan etc....
*sssssssssssssssssssssssssssssiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh*
Lazamataz,
I can’t speak for miss marmelstein, but I like your funny posts so much that I choose to believe that you were just having fun with your flagrant anti-John Wayne remarks.
If that’s not the case, please do not disabuse me of the notion - I’ve had a rough week already! ;)

But there was no payoff.
I wanted miss marmelstein to come at me with a red-hot butcher knife, screamin' and fussin' and threatening the cat.
Instead, I got NUTHIN.
*sigh*
I kinda go for the softer McQueen movies (what can I say? I’m a girl!) although he looks amazing in that picture and in my teensy apartment in NYC I have a huge framed poster from Bullet.
My favs: The Magnificent 7, Baby, The Rain Must Fall, Love with the Proper Stranger.
Granted, Wayne was before my time, so I lack the appropriate appreciation, but wow. Some of you guys seem believe he was the character, and not the one lunged actor who sat in a chair on oxygen between takes.
"There's right and there's wrong. You gotta do one or the other. You do the one and you're living. You do the other and you may be walkin' around but you're dead as a beaver hat."
What’s with you Texans and your hate-on for John Wayne? I haven’t seen so much Texas spewing hatred since you guys told me that Rudy Guiliani did nothing for NYC so I shouldn’t appreciate him, lol!
Well, I got other things to do now, so I’ll sign off.
Very true! Kinda slipped up there.
You are a RUDE jackass. I didn’t realize the thread was for adoration only, I haven’t noticed any threads on FR where people could not voice their opinion. The exception are some of the religion threads and that is what you seem to think this is, adoration of John Wayne. I have nothing against the man except that his acting left something to be desired. He was imitating real cowboys and I know a lot of REAL cowboys. Now go take your meds and calm down.
Lazamataz, you stupid slut. If you don’t like John Wayne, then you’re an inbred, ignorant, anti-American steaming pile of bull-excrement. Bull excrement which has been eaten by a nasty buzzard, and then thrown up because it made the buzzard sick.
You, sir, are Buzzard bull-excrement puke! Buzzard bull-excrement puke which landed on the rotted, bloating carcass of a road-kill skunk.
You aren’t fit to be a festering, oozing, puss-filled boil on John Wayne’s magnificent all-American buttocks.
There, I hope this helps a little. Have a great weekend! :)
No. What we know is that he was the embodiment of those roles. He stood up for American ideals outside his roles and, given the Hollywood Obamunist scum we have today he is sorely missed because of it.
I will say I disagree with some of the others here. In his movies I don’t think he acting so much as just being himself. It’s part of why he was so believable. Sort of like Audie Murphy playing himself. He not only acted it, he lived it.
Or, to look at the other side of the coin, it’s sort of like it’s easy for Madonna to play a slut because she IS a slut.
John Wayne was an actor. John Wayne was also the real deal.
I seem to have hit a nerve with you! It must be tough being a film expert without knowing anything about film, theatre or acting values, lol.
This was written about me just a while ago. Notice that this happens out of the blue and I know the reference is to me. I have done nothing to upset or disturb this disturbed he or she. “It” continues to harbor ill will on the site and question my book and character...and plug it’s own book in the process..
Will the drama ever stop? What did I do to deserve this disrespect? You, the reader, are the judge...not me..You can see for yourself and read the story yourself...even if it gets removed, it’s here and saved on my computer as an example..
For no reason I might add...maybe out of jealousy..maybe out of boredom..this is an example of jealousy and drama at it’s finest...
People have met me, talked to me on the phone and even seen me dance around in the streets because I am who I say I am...no bull. I am the real deal...I’m not hidden underneath a sheet wearing tight khakis....this is EP Drama at it’s best...but then again..your the reader...you decide..the coward doesn’t allow me to defend or comment on the story...figures...drama queen..
Wow! Suddenly got quiet around here! The group must have gone off to a screening of “Brokeback Mountain”!
