It was a genre crossover, involving SF, satire, romance and even some "steam punk" before it was called that. It was called "The Unreal Jesse James" and didn't fit anyone's pigeonhole till David Cranmer and Elaine Ash picked it up for their Beat to a Pulp site. It will be just one twenty-seventh of the monster, 400-page print BTAP anthology coming out next month. I figure this is going to be THE fiction anthology of the year!Chap O'Keefehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04404176810063857291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3434602314756730550.post-79331797254031183562010-07-22T11:53:59.389-07:002010-07-22T11:53:59.389-07:00Charles, I saw the Brad Pitt movie.

Why?...I was thinking recently about the James gang. Why?......Well, as an avid western rider, and as near dammit, I try to be as faithfull as I can to the clothing and the saddle rig. Mainly of the 1880`s, I was trawling the web looking at "Dusters". Then I came across several films, where I was able to view this type of clothing. I ended up prefering those depicted in the film Pale Rider. As worn by the riders payed for by Le Hood.<br />But getting back to the film, for me it fails to show acuracy. The rigs on the horses, I believe are`nt really accurate and there is several other things too. But as a western film, its not one of my favourites, I do like the Long Riders.cheyenne joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16957462106844413179noreply@blogger.com
