A love for cowboys

So I saw "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly" the other night. I was very impressed- by the acting and directing, but also the use of bushy-eyebrowed, cockeyed glances to build suspense. For instance, for the entire first 10 minutes or so of the film there is no dialogue. It is fun to impart one's own dialogue into these scenes, as everything transpires with a stone-cold stare from under a wide-brimmed hat.The music really makes this movie, and also becomes stuck in your head for the remainder of the evening. If only all of life's encounters were scored so dramatically. I also love the costumes- Clint Eastwood's coattails billowing in the wind, the spurs that give away the sneak attack, the ponchos. I think this may be the beginning of a long and dusty love affair.
