Re: Great Westerns

I think they probably did cuss that much. I love Deadwood because you can almost smell it. The only thing that bugs me about it (as nearly all historical dramas) is that the actors have far better teeth than they would have had during that period. Most Westerns glamorize a very unglamorous lifestyle far too much. Most people died young at that time, mainly through disease, although a part of the population did die violently. Probably not more than in any inner city these days, in proportion to the population numbers.

My favorite Westerns are by Sergio Leone.
