Talkie Tuesday: Spirit Stallion of the Cimarron

 

"They say the mustang is the spirit of the West."

 
Hello everyone!
 
After so much epic-ness in one place, it's time to scale back just a little and figure out how things used to be done back in the day, at this point well over twenty years ago.
 
I can't even fathom it to be honest.
 
This movie released so long ago at this point!
 
And yet it's still so great.
 
Now if only I could find the Sinbad one animated online somewhere ...
 
I digress. Before I head out to the open waters, I have to head back in time to when the Wild West wasn't just a story, but actually a place to be discovered and, for lack of a better word, tamed.
 
There's plenty of movies about it out there, but this one is near and dear to my heart, because of course it's about horses. It's Spirit, Stallion of the Cimarron.

Talkie Tuesday: Walker Independence

 

"Welcome to Independence."

 
Hello everyone!
 
Back to the Wild, Wild West we go!
 
Ahem lol.
 
So a little bit back I had the randomest post mentioning this show while it was on its break, and since then it's not only returned BUT it concluded it's first season, to roaring success as far as I'm concerned.
 
Not only did they somehow manage to get the perfect cast for the job at hand, but the writing was also on point from the first to the last episode. 
 
The fact is, it seems to be the only show centered around the old West on television right now, so despite the restructuring over at The CW - and all the rather sad news coming from that with the cancellations and whatnot - viewers are generally hoping this one gets renewed.
 
I mean, from what I've been able to gather, nobody wants MORE unscripted programming and golf.
 
But enough with that nonsense. It's cowboy hat time in Walker: Independence.
