Western Wednesdays: ‘Mad Dog Morgan’

This is only the second installment of Western Wednesday, and I believe I have already seen the messiest and strangest film that ever boasted a horse, a pistol, and a sunset: Mad Dog Morgan. It was a toss-up between Morgan and The Ox-Bow Incident, but I had a thirst for some Ozploitation, and Morgan is a pretty legendary piece of Australian filmmaking.
It also seemed like a good idea to expand the cinematic frontier early on in this feature, and visit a place that has a remarkably similar history. Americans tend to think that the myth of the Wild Wild West is theirs, and theirs alone – and it certainly is, but Australia enjoyed a settlement experience that was just as violent and lawless as our own. They just had kangaroos instead of buffalo, and convicts instead of hardy pioneers.
One thing America and Australia would appear to have in common is an idolization of outlaws.

Think you know Billy the Kid? Think again. Sure, tenderfoot, you might be familiar with the gunslinger's murderous exploits in Arizona's Lincoln County War. But what about the Kid's run-ins with the Three Stooges, Dracula, and, most fearsome of all, Lou Diamond Phillips!? Read on, if you dare to upset your fragile little world of historically verifiable facts... Emilio Estevez in Young Guns (1988) and Young Guns II (1990) One

Scene 1
Int: Night. The catacombs of the Smithsonian Museum. Approximately $78m of animatronics – flying machines, dinosaurs and sculptures by Rodin – are Crashing about Fighting each other. In the middle stands Ben Stiller.

I gotta get the Egyptian tablet to the sarcophagus before they drown Billy the Kid in an hourglass!!!

I have to be honest and up front, but these are the first two issues I’ve read of The Goon. I’ve heard a lot about it, and even collected a series by creator Eric Powell and artist Kyle Hotz called Billy The Kid’S Old-timey Oddities which I liked, but never jumped onto The Goon. Don’t exactly know why either. But after reading these two issues, I’m kicking myself a little because what I saw was a very odd case of likeability. Kind of like a Spike Jonze joint.
The Goon – Issues #31 & 32
Dark Horse Comics http://www.darkhorse.com/
Written and Drawn by Eric Powell
It figures I would jump on as the 10th Anniversary issue rolls around, but I think it’s best I start here anyway. At the end of issue # 32, Eric Powell gives a history on how The Goon was created, once being a weird Mr.

As part of a new effort to bring attention to under seen independent films and to support one of New York City's last independent video stores for specialty films, Hammer to Nail and Cinema Nolita have teamed up to host a series of weekly late night screenings in Nolita's space on Mulberry St. Tonight at 11pm, Jennifer Venditti, who Filmmaker selected as one of its 25 New Faces in Independent Film in 2007, will be on hand to screen her SXSW Jury prize winning doc Billy the Kid. In a piece for H2N last fall, Cullen Gallagher had this to say about the film:
Unlike the exaggerated characters in even the best high school movies, there’s something unshakably authentic to this fifteen year-old-kid from Brunswick, Maine with a rat tail who wears
