Glad "3:10" was good. G. Ford as bad guy? Intriguing.
Hope your eyes don't fall out from staring at a screen! We know one thing: traveler won't be out getting into trouble tonight.

I put "For Whom the Bell Tolls" on next. I forgot how long this movie is. They even kept the Intermission sign in the movie like you would have at the theater when a movie goes beyond two hours. I can not remember even having an Intermission during any movie I went to unless it was an outdoor double feature. No more out theaters around here. All gone now.
It has been so long since I had seen this one that I did not know it was in color. Last time I watched "For Whom the Bell Tolls" my family still had a black and white TV.
I am aging myself again.

Actually we are politely bumping it for to keep it on top.
If we happen to discuss other topics, so be it.
I do have to see the remake of "3:10" though.
I will have to stop at Best Buys and just put my money down and get it.

Lovely guilt eraser, that. 
And you have no plans to see the 3:10 re-make in a theater? Must support BDHs when possible...

I liked the original 3:10 to Yuma, but was kind of surprised they decided to do a remake, but as Traveler said the promise of money will have Hollywood blowing dust off anything to cash in.
Saw an ad last night while watching The Dirty Dozen (great flick for any who have been hiding under a rock and not seen it) last night and Crowe and Bale look good in it. The sets and background look great, but try as I might, I did not see Alan in the ad anywhere.
Is his part a bit part or something?

Hello FloralBunny; Hello Browncoat:
I believe the move has come and gone from theaters.
It is now on sale as DVD.
Does anybody remember this actually being at a theater? I do not recall seeing any adds for it.
According to Internation Movie Database Alan does have a title. He is called Doc Potter.
Anyway they don't give you a name unless you do some work, besides being a pedestrian. I suspect Alan's part is small but he will must have some dialogue. Did not see him in the Trailer. The Remake has new scenes, but the storyline seems the same. I am looking forward to it.
So will probably go to Best Buy with some cashy money on Saturday.
Oh and Bump.

Alan is hard to spot. He does not appear until near the end of the clip I saw and is very unWash-like - in fact, he's one of the top bad guy gunhands:

He's very convincing, I thought he was great.

As much as I hate to correct, that is NOT Alan. I know it looks like him. REALLY LOOKS like him. Looks like him enough to fool Joss Whedon himself. Check out this link from our friends at Whedonesque.com: http://whedonesque.com/comments/13817
Alan IS in the trailer, but you can barely see him. He is not a gunslinger, he is a veterinarian in the film. But it is still not a tiny role. He is in the film poster credits for Wash's sake!
I was fooled into thinking this was him in the awesome photo, playing the awesome heavy. But alas, it was some bloke named Ben Foster (whoever THAT is...).
Alan would have been fantastic in that role.

Add me to the momentarily fooled. I've just come from IMDb, checking up on a release date for 3:10 to Yuma (September 7) and looking at the paltry stock of stills they have bothered to put up.
There was a tiny thumbnail which looked so much like a shaven-headed Alan that I blew it up immediately (ka-BOOM!) and lo and behold: it was the mysterious Ben Foster. Haven't found a pic of Alan yet. He is billed 5th, FWIW.
Not expecting DVD yet...
