Things I learned from this shot:

- I don't actually own a cowboy hat, despite what I thought yesterday
- Either most hats are too small or my head is enormous
- A cheap cigar tastes terrible, even when unlit
- The Spaghetti Western squint is very difficult to do, let alone hold while waiting for the timer to go off

If you are unfamiliar with Sergio Leone's "Dollars Trilogy" I strongly encourage you to check them out. They just get better and better, leading up to my all-time favorite cinematic moment - The last 25 minutes of The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly.

i grew up with these movies, own them all, plus once upon a time in the west which probably one of the most underrated westerns of all time.

Now these are some films i can support. Love Eastwood westerns.

Also, I'm pretty sure that if you'd taken that shot the squint and cigar would have both gone better. Nice work.

Yogi Beard says:
@Keifel - I agree. I mean, Charles Bronson as the hero and Henry Fonda as the villain! I love that movie! Also need to buy it...

@Pcain - I've been slacking in the Kurosawa department. I love Seven Samurai and Yojimbo, but have yet to buy them.

i think you pull that cowboy hat off pretty well.

as for the look, take the shot JUST before the camera captures the photo.

being compared to Sam Elliott in any capacity is a high honor as far as I'm concerned..

and nice work on the squint.. every time I've tried it I just end up looking like my eyes are closed.

I don't know how I missed this series, I must have double clicked when trying to watch you. I love this series very very much, and love these movies.

If I had to guess, I'd say that hat is more crocodile dundee trilogy though..
