had such high hopes for pat garrett bc i love love love cable hogue and junior bonner (kinda an unusual peckinpah i guess) but i was just plain uninterested halfway in and did not care for it at all. BORING!!!!!!!!

What a strange analysis. I understand power and majesty, but I don't see such a stark dividing line with "fiction and lies." Note the grey triangle at the bottom-right corner. It is neither part of the building or the sky, existing for purely aesthetic reasons. So part of the gas station's majesty is itself built on a lie.

I see the relationship between the book and the gas station as representing the evolution of the Western mythos from cowboys on horses to cowboys in pick-ups. Kind of like in the movie Junior Bonner. For the gas station cowboy to feel "besmirched" by the horseback cowboy would be an illogical repudiation of what was (certainly in 1964) considered a glorious past.

Dik-dik!

Dik-dik are tiny antelopes, and they like to travel in pairs. I only ever saw them in low light, grazing around the edges of clearings. So I never got a nice photo, but I love them to distraction. They grow up to 16 inches tall, and adults weigh 7-13 pounds.

For comparison, Junior Bonner (the prince of house cats) weighs 16 pounds.

Happy 103rd Birthday to actress and filmmaker Ida Lupino! A trailblazer during the Golden Age of Hollywood, she was the first woman to direct a film noir! She passed away in 1995, but has left behind a solid legacy! ^__^

Preview- Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia (Bluray)

Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia concluded a remarkable period for filmmaker Sam Peckinpah. It brought to an end a seven-year and seven-film run of masterpieces that included the taboo-breaking ultra-violence of The Wild Bunch and Straw Dogs, and the more elegiac tones of The Ballad of Cable Hogue and Junior Bonner. A love story that plays out in a brutal environment, Bring Me the Head of…
