Appaloosa

I just saw the new Ed Harris film "Apaloosa" the other day. It was a pretty decent western, it had all of the prerequisite western tropes, but it had a much different take on the relationships of the characters. Clint Eastwood used to have the enigmatic "Man with No Name" thing, but this one has a name and has feelings. It's kinda weird watching two hired lawmen talking about their feelings....

Overall, I liked it and it gave me a lot of inspiration for details in the visuals for High Moon. I sat and took notes in the theatre from things like details of clothing to wallpaper textures to vegetation and other stuff that if you don't focus on a little tends to make your book seem less and less a period piece.

The devil is in those details...
