Not so much a western.
Good to know. I retract my question, as I don't wish to start a kerfluffle.
(For the record, I hate Westerns but tend to love Sci-Fi. And now I know why that can be so.)
Inara: So, explain to me again why Zoe wasn't in the dress? Mal: Tactics, woman. Needed her in the back. 'Sides, those soft cotton dresses feel kinda nice. It's the whole... air-flow.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Yojimbo's based on Red Harvest and Fistfull of Dollars is based on Yojimbo.
Right, but the point was, Star Wars is based on a handful of Asian pictures, not on their western/Western siblings. Although now I have a vision in my head of Clint Eastwood with a sword, and that is entertaining.
Strega, your comments are interesting. Last year I had an extended discussion on LJ about TV shows in space never being about contested settlements. They always skip that part and go straight to the warfare.

Missy, kerfluffle shoes are so Out for autumn fashions. You best give them to Goodwill.

I hate Autumn fashion. As soon as the Winter brouhaha boots are in stores, I'm all over them. In the meanwhile I have to make do.

On the other hand, my arch-support brogans of whining complement any outfit.

I love my sandals of false superiority, and I intend to wear them until it's so cold that my toes can't stand it any more.

Exactly. My soul is all tired and worn-out and fallen.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
And zombies really shouldn't be so scary because they're usually dim-witted and slow, but what's so unnerving about them to me is that they're dim-witted and slow.
Well, the zombies of the George Romero mold do seem to fall at the absolute nadir of Masahiro Mori's Uncanny Valley. We seem genetically or sociologically programmed to find them creepier than anything else.
OMG. So dead to me since Dracula. Didn't even remember he was in the movie.
I can't blame him for that one. All my Dracula hate is aimed squarely between Winona Ryder's enormous Manga cartoon character eyes. (Yes, I realize Keanu sucked, but it's not as if that was any huge surprise. And he didn't convince Coppolla that the moodiest horror novel of the late 19th century would be much better if it were a frickin' love story!)
