Lonesome Dove 20 year anniversary

[oregonpackfan]

This weekend, the History Channel is observing the 20th anniversary of the miniseries Lonesome Dove.

If you have not seen this classic western miniseries, I recommend you rent the DVD. It is about 6-7 hours long.

The miniseries was based on the classic western Lonesome Dove written by author Larry McMurtry. Unlike many movies based on books, the movie version follows the book's plot and story line almost perfectly. Just as important, the actors portray their respective characters just as you imagined McMurtry intended them to be.

Some of the noted actors include: Robert Duvall, Tommy Lee Jones, Robert Urich, Angelica Huston, Danny Glover, Dianne Ladd, Chris Cooper, and Frederic Jones.

McMurtry actually wrote 4 books in the Lonesome Dove series. Yes, I have read them all and they are excellent.

That is the best literary critique you can offer? Maybe you should read the likes of Green Eggs and Ham.

Ty is stunned that Oregon posted something that doesn't include oregon.

Or, will ty be surprised to find Lonesome Dove is about Oregon Cowboys?

McMurtry.

Yup, I'm a total illiterate...... I've got all his books.......you'd have thought I would have caught that.......

Ivy league to DePaul? What happened? That doesn't seem to fit the pedigree?

She coulda gone to South connecticut state and gone to depaul.

Well, she's going into Cultural Property Law(looting)........that Yale masters' was in archaeology . DePaul has one of the best programs for that, and it is in the top tier 100.....................and they're paying.

See. I knew there had to be an explanation.

Depaul ranking...i'd be curious to see other schools ranked. I coudn't find one by googling..shows a ton of IP law. I bet it falls under that..as that is one of depaul's stronger fields. I wasn't even aware of cpl...but, it sounds like she will be fighting the good fight...or the bad fight..working for developers.

But, i do see Stanford and Vandy in that field.

Tier: Top 100. Ok. But, it is more to the bottom....nowhere near where yale is. But, if they are paying...that is a huge bonus.

She has a masters..and she didn't want to stay in the field. Yikes.
