Wendy, at the risk of sounding like a rabid Anit-Walmartist [which wouldn't be too far from the Truth], I'd encourage you to check the register dumps at the cashier line in Borders as well - in fact, if you haven't found "W:DoA- Season 1" by midweek coming, remind me & I'll nose around for you at the one down in Keene, which I visit every Thurs or Fri. (Although typically I run dead-set against national chains & franchises, besides being a ravenous-but-frugal reader, I'm also a hardcore magazine addict, and no-one rivals the selection @ Borders!)JackFavell wrote:OOh.

I know how you feel - modern settings for Bronson never worked for me either (esp. those grimy Death Wish films!) - but don't overlook two of his best Western roles, which happened to grace the late 70's - as a middle-aged, fugitive Bill Hickock, partnered with Will Sampson as Crazy Horse, in The White Buffalo (featuring cameos by Clint Walker, Stuart Whitman & Kim Novak), and as a relentless, undercover railroad agent locking horns with Ben Johnson [heard o' that guy?] & Ed Lauter in Alistair MacLean's Breakheart Pass.JackFavell wrote: Thanks for the info on the Bronson episodes of HGWT too. You know, except for the seventies, I really like him.
Yup, especially as the arresting trooper in that scene's played with great drollery by Chuck Connors!JackFavell wrote: He's a riot in Pat and Mike . . .
You had 'em first in Magnificent Seven, but that's old ground isn't it?JackFavell wrote: and I absolutely love his character in The Great Escape. There you get both Bronson and Mcqueen!
