HAPPY BLOOM’S DAY!

 Yes, it’s the 16th of June, better known to James Joyce geeks like me as Bloom’s Day. The day is named in honor of Leopold Bloom, the Jewish advertising sales rep and Freemason who is one of the major characters in Joyce’s novel Ulysses. The novel also brings along Stephen Dedalus, the protagonist of his earlier novel Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man. For those unfamiliar with this work, Ulysses is Joyce’s stream-of-consciousness novel in which he metaphorically features the events from the Odyssey in Continue reading

FRONTIERADO: THE BAD, THE WEIRD AND THE FREAKY – JEWISH GAUCHOS (1975)

Frontierado is fast approaching but before I switch over to looking at high-quality westerns I still have some oddities to examine. For this go-round it’s the movie Jewish Gauchos based on the 1910 novel by Alberto Gerchunoff. The film deals with the musical adventures of a group of Jewish immigrants from Russia working as gauchos (Argentine cowboys) in Argentina in the very early 1900s.

This film plus a few westerns filmed in Israel but set in the American frontier make up the very, very unusual subgenre called Continue reading

FRONTIERADO SAGA – THE BLACKWATER KID

Following in Six-Gun Sara’s gutsy footsteps, here is the very first Frontierado Saga I wrote back in 2009. It was the one for myself to show people what I meant by customized sagas. I felt my own name wasn’t western enough so I made the Blackwater Kid’s real name be Nathanael Greene Larraby instead. Many of the figures the Kid interacts with are from the Bad Movie world so they may not be as recognizable as the figures Six-Gun Sara interacted with.
 
The Blackwater Kid 
 

The Blackwater Kid was born Nathanael Greene Larraby (his parents named him after Revolutionary War hero General Nathanael Greene) in 1846 in Springfield, New Jersey. At seventeen he was admitted into Princeton but after causing a minor scandal with his Continue reading

SIX-GUN SARA ENTERS THE FRONTIERADO VALHALLA!

Frontierado is coming up on the first Friday in August and a powerful new cultural force has just been added to help spread the good word (“Did you know Frontierado has a wonderful plan for your life?”) about the holiday. That force is Sara from the Lifewith4cats blog and the blog called Mideival Maiden. She was one of the respondents when I mentioned how I do customized sagas for people if they want and she is so nice she ran it on her blog and also linked to my main Frontierado post to help spread the word about my made-up holiday! How cool is that?

Here are links to the two blog posts Six-Gun Sara was kind enough to make about all this – http://midaevalmaiden.wordpress.com/2011/05/17/the-day-you-stop-playing-is-the-day-you-begin-to-die/

FRONTIERADO TRIPLE FEATURE OF THE BAD, THE WEIRD AND THE FREAKY

With the Frontierado holiday coming up the first Friday in August I’ll be devoting more and more coverage to it. To learn more about this holiday click here: https://glitternight.com/2010/07/28/just-9-more-shopping-days-until-frontierado/

As we get closer to Frontierado I’ll begin examining quality westerns but for now you can once again think of me as the Bronson Canyon Kid (bad movie buffs will get it) as I take a look at three more weird westerns.

THE DEVIL AND MISS SARAH (1971) – A veritable ton of familiar western stars appear in this supernatural western that sort of reminds me of Black Noon (previously reviewed in my The Bad, The Weird And The Freaky segments.) Gene “Bat Masterson” Barry plays notorious outlaw Continue reading
