Tombstone [AMC] live thread
American Movie Classics ^ | 12-26-14 | Wyatt Earp

Posted on 12/26/2014 5:20:52 PM PST by FlJoePa

I really like this movie. Strange that two other Russell movies are high on my list as well. Used Cars (pretty high) and Escape from New York (on the list).

While everyone likes to say Kilmer took over this movie - everyone was great. Everyone.

I read several similar stories in Western magazines 44 years ago. One even said the Earp clan often robbed stage coaches in the area.

Sidebar: If you like Kurt Russell, check out a made for Netflix documentary The Battered Bastards of Baseball.

It's about his dad, a journeyman actor, who purchased the Portland Mavericks minor league baseball team. Kurt played for them. It's a documentary of a bunch pro baseball misfits in the mid 70's.

But now, back to Doc and Wyatt....

***I visited Billy the Kid’s gravesite in New Mexico a few years ago.***

I read that the river flooded and washed away all the headstones. So many people came to see the grave of Billy the Kid that the local caretaker had a stone carved and just set it in the middle of the cemetery. That is the one that has been stolen, found, replaced, stolen, and now fenced in.

I’ve also seen the grave of Black Jack Ketchum at Clayton. He is buried not far from my dad’s family.

He (Val Kilmer) made that movie in many of his scenes.

That and many other films. Too bad he's gone to seed and appears out of the business. A great actor!

I’ve decided that the most accurate history is the history that is largely forgotten or ignored. Guys like Wyatt Earp and George Custer were celebrities and stories were written about them with every conceivable slant. It makes the actual history harder to find.

If you look at something like the River Raisin massacre you don’t find the same ambiguity. The story is pretty much the same from both sides.

Actually I recently read that Kilmer has lost like 100 lbs and is lurking around Hollywood.

Must have been an old article, since the late 1800s was when those men lived.

Doc Holliday was a very educated man, with a gentle attitude and manners, he came from a middle class family in GA. Ironically his mother had died from tuberculosis when he was young, the he went to PA to become a dentist. Doc went to Texas...died in Colorado. Insane, no. Killer, yes, but in self defense mostly. Great marxmen are always challenged by idiots.

Kilmer has really changed in looks, the pic in Wikepedia shows a much more heavy set guy.

It was not written all that long ago. That old soldier lived to be over a hundred. He had his opinion like everyone else. He did have the advantage of actually being there at the time.

WOW...I hadn’t seen that one. Hope he gets it under control, he was handsome guy when he was young. There is the normal middle age spread but then there is much more.

I ran across some old VHS tapes recently of home movies we recorded with the old ‘camcorder’. I have no idea what’s on them.

Do they even still sell VHS players anymore? I bet they look like total crap on a 54 inch LED Flat panel. LOL!
