After a heavy drinking session , a comic strip writer sat down to think about writing a new angle . Should he write about Cowboys and Al Capone ? No .. too far fetched ! Perhaps something about cowboys and the New York Russian mafia ? Nah .. been done before ??
HEY , how about cowboys and aliens ... WOW , original ... get the laptop out !
And so it was , sign up one or two well-worn actors , rent cheap New Mexico desert props and borrow $100+ million ... and presto , we have "Cowboys and Aliens" ! Well, it just about paid it's investors back their money , but what the hell .. wasn't it original ?
The next possible "big" Western film "idea" could be another brainchild's masterpiece to be called "Cowboys and The Vietcong" ... and why not ?? Anything goes in Hollywood these days , and good angles are hard to come by !
I just don't know how the actors and crew kept their faces straight throughout filming this "masterpiece" !!
