Watching Lonesome Dove for the millionth time

I will never get tired of this movie. It is wonderful and amazing and it has a little bit of what every great movie should have: adventure, love, suspense, action, fighting, sorrow, laughter and lessons.

Y'all, I'm really sad Lonesome Dove is over.

Some thoughts:

  • I got a little teary when a horse would die, but was all “Welp, that’s what happens in the West” when a person got hurt. 
  • This book was really about the ladies.
  • Your trip to the grocery store was not epic. Lonesome Dove was epic. 
  • The mini-series is on Netflix Instant so that’s where I’ll be for the next little while. 

Just letting you know what’s up over here. 

“It’s best to help such boys have their moment of fun, before life’s torments snatch them away.”

—Larry McMurtry, Lonesome Dove
