As some of you may have noticed, Dpat's changed his avatar again. It's now the cover to The Quick and the Dead.
And I was thinking about this film the other day. Specifically, I was wondering about the character of Ace (Lance Henrikson). He's a rather flamboyant gun-fighter who can impress ordinary people with his trick-shootery, but standing against an actual gunfighter gets him shot.
I was wondering, towards the end of the Wild West frontier towns must have been full of people like this. People who fancied themselves as gunhands but couldn't really cut the mustard.
That's the way it seems to me, was it the case? were there lots of Pretenders?
