The previews make Lone Ranger look very good. And I'm not even into Westerns.

Mr.Popo,

Would you classify LONE RANGER as a Western?
Please, please tell me the climax of the movie isn't accompanied by William Tell's Overture Finale. If so, it must have been something difficult to not come off as horrible.

I'm sure they could make that music work. They could give it a cool, modern, edgy, rock n' roll, teen friendly, guitar style spin:



See? Radical.

You are my favorite person of the day. That video really REALLY makes me want a Lone Ranger themed episode of Saved By The Bell where AC is Tonto and Zach is the Ranger. That music would be a perfect fit for it.

I don't know if Lone Ranger is necessarily a western. I haven't seen it yet, so I can't comment, but there are some 'westerns' which really don't fit the tag.

As an example, I'm not sure about people who call No Country For Old Men a western. I'm not sure if I'd say that.

It takes place in the old west and has cowboys and Indians...am I missing something here about what the definition of a Western is?

I dunno, I've always seen Westerns as a bit more realistic, a bit more down to earth. This is more of an adventure or some such, rather than a western.

I dunno, I'm on like 6 types of medicine right now, my htoughts aren't all that coherent and all.

I liked it a lot.

I'll admit that I knew very little about this movie, despite being an avid horror fan. Also, in one of the stories ("Tuesday the 17th", which is one of my fave stories in the film), look out for "Poultrygeist" star Jason Yachanin.

They played it straight up, right as the climatic action scene starts and it doesn't conclude until the big bad meets his end. And it is AWESOME.

Lone Ranger

I was really satisfied with it, I don't by any means see a reason for it to get the bad reviews it is. However, Johnny Depp is playing a Johnny Depp roll, so don't expect anything else. Also, tell me someone caught the Dead Man reference in there?
