However, the people in this saloon can hear the narrator and the narrator may just be a little bit bloodthirsty. The Gunfighter. The Gunfighter. Already a Short of the Week alumnus with his delightful anti-rom com, Blessing in Disguise (a film about soulmates and herpes), director Eric Kissack follows it up with another stellar comedy. This time, though, he ditches contemporary characters and goes all out with a full period Western. Now, of course, Westerns and comedy are indelibly linked due to classics like Blazing Saddles and The Frisco Kid (not to mention, Seth MacFarlane’s recent entry to the box office with A Million Ways to Die in the West ), yet The Gunfighter is more high-concept than pure slapstick. If I were a Hollywood underling pitching to a studio executive (and thank, heaven, I’m not), it might go something like “it’s Stranger Than Fiction meets Gunsmoke .” But, that wouldn’t be giving the film enough credit. Kissack and crew push the premise well-past what you would think is comedically possible for a fourth-wall breaking device, firing off more jokes per minute than any recent short film in memory. I realize that analyzing comedy is somewhat of a futile (and pretentious) endeavor. Funny is funny—simple as that. So, suffice it to say, The Gunfighter is funny, damn funny, fully delivering on the promise of its premise. As the all-knowing narrator reveals more and more tidbits about the motley crew of scoundrels populating the saloon, the relationships become more convoluted, absurd, and hysterical. It’s obvious that Kissack enjoys making a Western just as much as he relishes making fun of it. All the stock wild west clichés are in full display, from prostitutes with hearts of gold to rousing, inspirational speeches. Of course, all of this wouldn’t work if the narrator’s dialogue wasn’t so brilliantly performed. Voiced by Nick Offerman in his trademark droll baritone, the timing and delivery of the voiceover is integral to selling the film. Director Eric Kissack and writer Kevin Tenglin used their connections with industry contacts David Wain and Davis Guggenheim to get Nick to agree to come on the project (to learn more about Kissack’s work as a feature film editor, check out our interview we conducted with him last year). Offerman’s involvement was definitely a boon for the film —not only does it garner the short some high-profile attention, but it also elevates it creatively. To be bit blue, no one can pull off a butt sex joke quite like Nick Offerman. The Gunfighter was shot last October on location at the infamous Melody Ranch outside of LA. The Ranch has served as a location for countless productions, from Django Unchained to Deadwood . The film’s producer, Sarah Platt, managed to finagle a reasonable rate for the low-budget production to shoot there over Halloween weekend. The result looks completely authentic, as the piece is littered with stellar costumes and props. Admittedly, at Short of the Week, we tend to shy away from films that are purely comedic sketches in our selections. But, The Gunfighter is more than that—it’s a sketch-like premise taken to its very nth degree. It’s brilliantly performed and beautifully shot, with clever punchline after punchline. Beyond that, though, there is a message amidst the rapid fire comedy. As Kissack relates via e-mail, “I’ve always thought it was important to point out the dangers of complete and total honesty. I mean, obviously, in an ideal world we wouldn’t do things that we’re ashamed of. But that world seems vanishingly distant so in the meantime, let’s all just learn to accept a little judicious truth-concealing (lying).” The Gunfighters. Some of these badmen were so tough the only way to get a photograph of them was in death. Other gunfighters posed for many a picture (Wild Bill Hickok is one example). As time went on—and camera shutter speeds improved—a photograph emerged that showed a gunfight in progress (shown on this spread). What follows are some of the best photos of Western gunfighters, many scanned from the originals so you can see the fine details. In fact, five of these incredible images have never before been published—to the best of our knowledge. Enjoy! Photo Gallery. – Courtesy True West Archives – – All photos Courtesy Robert G.

If some bizarre criminal held you at gunpoint and asked you to name six gravel-shitting badasses from the Old West, you'd probably get as far as Wyatt Earp and Doc Holliday before you started wondering whether the Lone Ranger was based on a real person. But a closer look at Old West history reveals a solid collection of mighty gunmen who didn't get their own movies, possibly because they were too busy kicking ass to waste time telling everyone how awesome they were. 6 Buckshot Roberts Defeats Billy the Kid's Entire Gang by Himself. Continue Reading Below. Andrew "Buckshot" Roberts is probably best known for killing Charlie Sheen while taking a dump in Young Guns . The actual story of that day is no less amazing. You see, Billy the Kid (the famous gunfighter and co-author of Bill and Ted's history report) and his gang the Regulators had a warrant for Roberts' arrest, implicating him in the murder of a rancher named John Tunstall, whom Billy used to work for. Roberts didn't actually have anything to do with Tunstall's death, but he was a shit-kicking Texas outlaw who didn't shy away from gunfights, so when Billy and his gang staged an ambush, Roberts was more than happy to engage in a free exchange of bullets. Continue Reading Below. That's right -- rather than surrender when he realized he was surrounded by 14 Regulators (that's enough guys to field one and a half heavily armed baseball teams), Roberts instead told them all to go straight to hell. As the battle commenced, Roberts was hit in the groin almost immediately, which would've taken the fight out of Quick Draw McGraw himself. But Roberts continued firing until his rifle was empty, wounding three Regulators and taking them out of the fight. Billy the Kid tried to take advantage of Roberts' dick wound by rushing him, but Roberts took his empty rifle and clubbed the blazing pigshit out of him. Continue Reading Below. Roberts retreated into a house to reload, where Regulator Dick Brewer (Charlie Sheen's character in the movie) tried to sneak up on him. Roberts spotted Brewer and blasted his head into skull-and-brains confetti. At that point, Billy the Kid decided it was way too early in the day for any more of this bullshit and ordered his gang to beat feet, leaving Buckshot Roberts alone to bleed to death a day later. Go back and read that sentence again -- one of the most famous gunfighters in history, backed up by his entire gang, wasn't enough to bring the mortally wounded Buckshot Roberts down.

James Riley was an 18-year-old kid stricken with tuberculosis, meaning the guy could barely get out of bed without vomiting up a gallon of lung tissue like Val Kilmer in Tombstone . But when his mentor was gunned down in front of him, the sickly young Riley managed to perforate the four ruthless bastards responsible in a matter of seconds, all for the sake of righteous revenge. Continue Reading Below. Continue Reading Below. You see, Riley had been taken under the wing of a policeman named Mike McCluskie, who taught him how to shoot and, presumably, how to chew tobacco and whistle at busty corseted women. In 1871, McCluskie was cornered in a saloon by four gruff Texans looking to settle a score, since McCluskie had killed a friend of theirs (probably while fulfilling his duties as a police officer, but this was the Old West, so it's really anyone's guess).

  • The 239 Year Timeline of America's Involvement in Military Conflict
    The 239 Year Timeline Of America’s Involvement in Military Conflict By Isaac Davis Region: USA Global Research, December 20, 2015 Theme: History, US NATO War Agenda Activist Post 18 December 2015 I should welcome almost any war, for I think this country needs one. – President Theodore Roosevelt The American public and the world have long since been warned of the dangers of allowing the military industrial complex to become such an integral part of our economic survival. The United States is the self-proclaimed angel of democracy in the world, but just as George Orwell warned, war is the health of the state, and in the language of newspeak, democracy is the term we use to hide the reality of the nature of our warfare state. In truth, the United States of America has been engaged in some kind of war during 218 out of the nation’s total 239 years of existence. Put another way, in the entire span of US history, this country has only experienced 21 years without conflict. For a sense of perspective on this sobering statistic, consider these4 facts about the history of US involvement in military conflict: Pick any year since 1776 and there is about a 91% chance that America was involved in some war during that calendar year. No U.S. president truly qualifies as a peacetime president. Instead, all U.S. presidents can technically be considered “war presidents.” The U.S. has never gone a decade without war. The only time the U.S. went five years without war (1935-40) was during the isolationist period of the Great Depression.

Galileo II Foreword This field trip has predecessors thatdate back to 1992. Atthattime a trip wasled for the Austin Chapterofthe Society of Independent ProfessionalEarth Scientists (SIPES), the first field trip to explore the common ground between geology and winein Central Texas. The accompanying guidebook (Rose and Woodruff, 1992) gave special attention to historical sites and events along the route. Similar trips were run for the 1994 meeting of the Gulf Coast Association of Geologic Societies, and in 1997 for the 34th Annual Meeting of SIPES; the guidebooks produced were variations of the 1992 version (Rose and Woodruff, 1994;1997). In 1998, Austin Geological Society sponsored another in this series of field trips, but this excursion visited a different set of wineries, and the guidebook gave greater emphasis to geology and less on history while retaining key papers from the previous volumes (Woodruff andothers, 1998). A similartrip for GCAGS in 2002reverted to the 1997 route. Today's trip, and the accompanying guidebook represents a combination of these various previous works, and the wineriesvisitedinclude aselection from thesitesvisited during the previous field trips. The guidebook is arranged in the following way: After a series of short topical papers, a road log presents the route taken and various geologic, geographic, and historicalnotes along the way.

    How many wars have there been? Of the past 3,400 years, humans have been entirely at peace for 268 of them, or just 8 percent of recorded history. At least 108 million people were killed in wars in the twentieth century. Estimates for the total number killed in wars throughout all of human history range from 150 million to 1 billion. Jul 6, 2003 How many wars has America had between 1776 and 2017? The U.S. Has Been At War 222 Out of 239 Years. An interesting statistic: America has been at war 93% of the time – 222 out of 239 years. Another way to put it: the U.S. has only been at peace for less than 20 years total since its birth. (Mar. 19, 2017) To put this in perspective: * No U.S. president truly qualifies as a peacetime president.

Clay Allison was born in Tennessee. Allison killed at least five men before his violent life ended in a wagon accident on July 1, 1887, in Pecos, Texas. Joseph L. Hood, first sheriff of Bexar County, was killed in a melee with Comanche chiefs within the Town Council House during the course of peace negotiations (prior to April 18). 1841 Renowned black lawman Bass Reeves was born this year or perhaps the previous year in Arkansas, then removed with the Reeves family to Grayson County, Texas. Reeves was apparently the first black deputy U.S. marshal to be appointed west of the Mississippi. Charles W. Jackson, a participant in the Regulator-Moderator War, was killed. A year earlier, a judge sent to try Jackson for killing Joseph G. Goodbread was himself killed near Pulaski, Texas, after fleeing for his life. Thomas D. Yocum, proprietor of the Yocum Inn in the Big Thicket country of East Texas, was executed by a Regulator posse on information that Yocum had murdered several people. 1843 John V.

The family moved to Hancock, Minnesota in 1903 where Leland finished grade school. In 1916 the family, which had grown to include two more boys, Lloyd and Harold, moved to Wadena, Minnesota where Leland graduated from high school in 1920. Instead of going to one of the smaller, closer colleges, Sonnichsen attended the University of Minnesota where he obtained his BA in English in 1924. As his family did not have much money, Sonnichsen worked his way through college. After graduation, he got a job teaching in Faribault, Minnesota as an Assistant Master at the St.
