the road to hell is paved with iPhones

hafitalWell, I did it, and ordered an iPhone. Won't come till sometime next week, don't ask me way, but that's okay. I can wait. I resisted it for so long but finally caved, which is rather the story of much of my life in many ways.
Never say I'm not a follower. lol.

Went to see the film True Grit which I did enjoy, although they kill a lot of horses in that story. But it was a good, decent, entertaining film, even if some of the dialogue and Jeff Bridges are hard to follow.
It did get me on a bit of a Westerns kick, and I netflixed Appaloosa and 3:10 To Yuma, both of which I also enjoyed. There's something very satisfying about Westerns. They can't help but be slashy as all get out. :D :D I can't say which of the 3 films I thought was the slashiest. Appaloosa had the longest relationship, but 3:10 To Yuma has that friends-in-adversary thing going for it. True Grit probably has the most platonic of the relationships, but it's still pretty darn slashy.
I was interested enough in Appaloosa to reserve the audio book, and I'm happy to see that there are a few more books with Virgil and Everett and it didn't end where the film (and book, presumably) ends, which is more than we can say for 3:10 to Yuma!
I also rented Bad Girls, which is a very silly movie from the late 90s that has Drew Barrymore looking her most pretty (IMO) and riding a horse (rather well. I was impressed, in any case) so really, there's no bad there. lol.
Anyone else have other Westerns they can recommend?
