Sidekick wanted

I suppose it was also a filler film for Hawks near the end of his career as well. El Dorado moves quicker than Rio Bravo though. Some of the scenes were nearly the same too.
In the saloon, JP shoots the piano (yeah I know another piano killer) while Dude shoots a guy on the balcony after he sees blood drip into the shot glass on the bar.
I like the ending of Rio Bravo better though. The dynamite throwing was classic. "Get it closer to the house Stumpy."

Regards to all,

J

Yep, Rio Bravo was crafted. El Dorado was, well, thrown together (though it's still one of my kids favorite movies. They watched that thing until the tape wore out.) Yep, those piano killing movies get me.....:( :cry: ;) Regards. Michaelson

Okay... things are starting to get overwhelming...

Anyone up to fill some sidekick shoes.

There is no pay, though I will buy you a pair of shoes. They're red and yellow and you have to wear the cape as well...

The plus is you get to wear a suit over the uniform though you must wear a trench coat and a mask even durring the summer and it's California so you will be hot. You can apprentice as a sidekick for 7 years then I'll have to replace you.

Job app. for your new lyric writer

MATT DECKARD!!!!!!!!!
I clicked on your MySpace link, then went to get a cup of coffee... when I came back my 3 boys were all snickering and looking at the computer. They recognized the 'song' as something I play on the piano, however the lyrics coming out of the speakers were something new and came as quite a surprise to them. :eek:
They wanted to know "Are those the real words to that?" Any suggestions on how to answer?

<.snickering here to myself and thinking... If I ever meet you in person, you get a swat for that one>

I think I could put an outfit like this together for my sidekick uniform.

I don't know about sidekick, but Henchman is a position I could handle. I'm an expert in wearing yellow jumpsuits, throwing my hats, and being remembered by my one defining characteristic (think "Eyepatch Thug")

I won't even complain when I eventually get gunned down unceremoniously by the hero.
 
Sorry, but working alongside the Four Horsemen requires something a little more stylish, and a lot more low-visibility, than yellow jumpsuits. "Business casual", as defined in the Golden Era, will do nicely. Black and gray are always good colors...:D

There... that should be more acceptable.
We will never speak of this again.

Aaargh....I finally decided to check out this thread. Alas, too late! I'll never know the alternate lyrics to Puttin' On the Ritz. :(

I suppose that means the sidekick position is out of the question?

Oh well, I'm really more a Peter Lorre w/ Sydney Greenstreet man myself.

Can it be a dog? More specifically, a unpredictable furiously cute one?

I have a client that's interested. He's sleeping at the moment, though.
