[who knows what evil?]

Clayton Moore did two Lone Ranger movies on the big screen back in the late 50’s after the series ended and they were successes.

One of them ran last week here in Red England...classic LR.

I’ll go tomorrow morning to feed my addiction of LR

I know I will be disappointed as I was at the last one.

But for old times sake:

The Lone Ranger: Hi-yo, Silver, away.

The Lone Ranger: Hi-yo, Silver, away!

My family and I really liked it, too. People are taking it WAY too seriously. The audience enjoyed it and clapped at the end. I think they were mostly a middle-aged crowd. That final train sequence was so fun, I think we’ll go see it again on the big screen.
