The Late Night Movie House: The Lone Ranger Cartoons (1930 and 1966)

The Lone Ranger Movie starring Johnny Depp as Tonto and, in a very ironic twist, a wooden cigar store Indian as The Lone Ranger opens this week. As I predicted- and so did anyone else who saw the horrible trailer- the film is getting lame reviews. They range from “bad” to “good film to see if you are drunk.” For the millions of movie goers whoa re poised to ignore this movie and go see Despicable Me 2 this weekend, I present the little seen Lone Ranger cartoon from 1930. It is black and white, it is silent, and it is almost 2 and a half hours shorter than the lousy film opening this weekend.

 

Next, here is the not-quite-but-almost as little seen Lone Ranger cartoon from 1966.

 

Notice something? In neither cartoon does Tonto wear a dead bird on his head. I’m just saying…

Film Review: After Earth (2013) by Captain Pigheart

19 Jun

I’ve reblogged this from Captain Pigheart because not only is it absolutely hysterical, it is also far better than I could have done, especially when you consider that I have not seen the film. I urge you to click the link and follow Captain Pigheart for great movie reviews, fiction, pirate tales, and much more Lego than you’d expect from a man who has achieved the rank of Captain. Before I turn you over to the Captain, I urge you to A- follow his blog and B- think twice before you see any film with Jaden Smith. Ask yourself this- do YOU want to be responsible for making him a movie star? I think not.
