I met with Col. Pepper...

...and his money he was counting...

So I was looking at the TCM schedule earlier and there are all kinds of westerns and crime dramas coming up. I'm so looking forward to this, especially after that awful 31 days of Oscar thing they were doing where I had seen practically everything they showed and wasn't interested in the rest. Do I need to sit through Warren Beatty's four hour love letter to communism? No. If there is any justice in the world Mel Gibson will decide to make The Gulag Archipelago one of these days and I'll go see that, but for now I'll take my commies at the end of Patrick Swayze's rifle.
