The original was 1.85:1 instead of 2.40:1.<br /><br />I just rewatched Lonesome Dove on TNT or AMC in a restored widescreen print. Looked great. I hadn't seen it all in ages. It's funny that I now recognize a lot of the Texas locales after having lived in Dallas for quite a while. I love how we are first introduced to the apparent broken down old farmers who are actually still bad-ass former Texas Rangers. Call's beat-down on the Cavalry scout and Gus' rescue of Lorie are classic. The stunned response of July after that kills me.Yankee1969https://www.blogger.com/profile/08335455983772742832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4426052636690673661.post-4361363066738549922009-07-30T15:10:14.773-04:002009-07-30T15:10:14.773-04:00I love Lonesome Dove; and Silverado is one of my a...I love Lonesome Dove; and Silverado is one of my all-time favorite movies ever (regardless of genre)!!!! We have it on DVD but even so, whenever it is on tv I am compelled to stop whatever I'm doing and watch it.Friend Mousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10508344668185037119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4426052636690673661.post-60907520147862889202009-07-30T14:17:27.170-04:002009-07-30T14:17:27.170-04:00I assume you've seen "Lonesome Dove"...I assume you've seen "Lonesome Dove" and "Silverado", right? They are some of my favorite Westerns. Plus they have great (and barely) over-lapping casts. And we actually saw Rick(y) Schroeder (aka Newt) buying ice cream with his kids once in Scottsdale. :)Yankee1969https://www.blogger.com/profile/08335455983772742832noreply@blogger.com
