Hollywood is bringing back 'The Lone Ranger' in 2012!
As my avatar suggests the Lone Ranger was a boyhood hero of mine.
Clayton Moore perhaps could never be dethroned as the best Lone Range EVER. Hokey as their episodes are I can still watch the old lone Ranger and Tonto galloping on Silver and Scout to help the oppressed. That said, for a few years now, I have had this idea that we needed a Hollywood remake that adults would enjoy too. One that would get a Batman treatment for a darker, edgier Lone Ranger. This Lone Ranger would shoot to kill, instead of just shooting the guns out of the bad guys' hand. I really hope that Hollywood will not cop out on this. Thoughts?.... Cast suggestions. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1210819/ |

The reason I say that is because this one time I read a book about the wild west and it said that there were very few outwardly gay persons back in the wild west days. Except, of course, for Gary The Saloon Girl who was apparently quite popular with cowboys and drovers who had spent months of companionless, isolated solitude out on the range. Interestingly, it was Gary who named Dodge City. FAX |

A couple of minutes of reverie from my childhood.

He was the lone ranger that survived an ambush by bad guys, hence "The Lone Ranger".

I remember the remake from the 70s or 80s. The studio actually had the cajones to sue Clayton so that he couldn't wear the mask anymore. He went around with dark sunglasses instead. That film tanked hard. It made Ishtar look like a hit.

"Ford Fairlane" made more money and the studios pulled that after two weeks.
