Tommy Lee Jones in The Houseman

[Bear Paw Jack]

Sometime back I saw a movie advertised that Jones was staring in. It was a Western which I like, but apparently it was a limited release. The guy that wrote The Houseman, is the same guy that wrote the Shootist that John Wayne was in. I was wondering if anyone saw it and if it was worth while. Hollyweird isn't producing a lot of westerns but when they do I like to see it. Disappointed that I didn't get to see this one. Jones did a great job in Lonesome Dove. One of my all time favorites. I hear in real life he's a jerk. Who knows. Thanks for your input.

Just open up YouTUBE and type in The Homesman.

Looks like you will have to pay to see it.

I think it was "Man Of The House".

I think you may be mistaken. My youngest daughter had a bit part in Cobb that was later cut. She said he was a perfect gentleman the entire time she was there. Granted one person's opinion may not be statistically relevant but she doesn't lie so I'll take her word for it.

Paul I hope you are right, that he is a nice guy.

BPJ. I can only go by what my daughter said. The fact that she seemed very impressed by his professionalism and attitude toward some of the women playing ladies of the night that were is stages of undress on the set waiting their time under the camera leads me to believe he is an OK guy. I do know a guy who can't stand him because of a movie he made about a Border Patrol mistakenly shooting a legal Mexican where Jones is a friend of the dead guy and takes him home to be buried. It's "The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada. Very good film.

Tommy Lee used to regularly come out here to the polo club (the oldest one in America) that's just down the road from me. Folks who have met him say he's very congenial and a "regular guy". (I would assume that means he can have a bad day and be a jerk just like some of us... :wink
