Bilwick, have you figured out why this forum, dedicated to discussing a MOVIE, namely Tombstone, is filled with nattering about democrats, liberals, prostitution, motherhumpers, Bush, poverty and pimping?
Why isn't this in the Sandbox?? Or anywhere but here? -

Basically, Chloe, I think it's because npagano is one of the Anointed (see Thomas Sowell's VISION OF THE ANOINTED) and like most of the Anointed, sees it as his calling in life to bring Enlightenment to those of us who are too "stupid" to peacefully submitted to being serfs. Also, he thinks he's incredibly clever and witty and there's no comeback to his "brilliant" posts.

I'll take your word for it, Bilwick, since I couldn't be bothered reading all that drivel except to note that someone who considers himself to be "the epitome of educated" seems to have a bit of a problem with apostrophes and punctuation. Oh, and with posting inappropriate and off-topic stuff here. Rather rude, I must say.
He probably hits send on his posts and tells himself (before retreating back into the Cocoon), "Wow, I really crushed that guy!"
Kind of like all the 20-somethings (and sadly, too many 30-somethings) who sit on their butts playing computer war games and feel all badass as they discuss their "kills" in detail, yet would wet their pants and cry for their mommies if set down in a real war.
So, like, when was the last time we discussed "Tombstone"? -

Maybe, but they can do THIS! All this! Right here! Your ability to communicate with no effort whatsoever to people all around the world. To exchange ideas with anyone. Far, far more complex than changing a tire.
Not at all, seeing as how someone has already done the work for you, and all you have to do is log on to a computer.
Can't stop the signal. -

Boring? Really! where? Maybe it started slow, but this movie always entertains me. And it some parts, it is absolutely hilarious. In others, terrifying. And I don't usually like westerns. What do you find exciting and entertaining?

IMO, any movie that takes place in the Elizabethan era in England where you can't understand anything they say in that thick British accent is boring as hell.
The difference between me and the OP, however, is that I realize and accept that some people don't agree with me. To each their own.

Stop watching Transformers and gain some culture. Tombstone is a WONDERFUL cinematic experience. Judging by your childish, uncultured remark, you probably wouldn't last long watching My Darling Clementine. These movies have too much talk and not enough big Megan Fox ass and tits, huh?

I had heard such good things about this movie and tried to watch it several times when it came on tv but couldn't get into it and I finally sat down and watched it all the way through and I agree that its pretty boring, there were a couple decent scenes but its just not very engrossing. First of all having that pretty boy Michael Biehn play the main villain is a big mistake, that guy is not intimidating at all and also Kim Delaney just ruined every scene she was in. The Good The Bad and the Ugly is my favorite western and one of my favorite movies ever but to be honest there aren't many others that keep me glued to the screen like that movie does. In terms of modern westerns I think Unforgiven is a way better movie than Tombstone, Tombstone just felt more like a costume drama to me and didn't seem gritty at all to me. I like Kurt Russel too but I didn't buy him as Wyatt Earp, that scene in the beginning when he slaps around Billy Bob just came off as ridiculous because Russel can't sell it, no one knew he was Wyatt Earp in that bar and Billy Bob would of shot that stupid little 10 cent Joke shop fake mustache off his face if he came in like he ran the place like that. I love that in movies when a guy cowers to the hero because "hes a badass" when the other guy has a gun as well, toughness means nothing to a gun.

IMO, Russell sold it very well with an intimidating steely-eyed stare that matched the best of them.

There was no reason for anyone to know who he was. YouTube and Wikipedia hadn't been invented then. Sorry, but the moustache was real.

A gun only means something if the person carrying it has the nerve to use it. -

You're missing my point as to me saying "no one knew who he was" then because I meant that to those guys in the bar he was just some random guy who they had no reason to fear and thus would not let some apparent nobody slap him around like that, and he was not shy about using the gun anyway after Wyatt walks outside he was coming out to blow his head off until someone mentioned who he was and not to do it. Russel was much better in the Hateful Eight and I don't blame him for the faults of Tombstone I blame the writing and the director and whoever decided to give them those stupid mustaches, they should of just let them grow out a real one even if it didn't look as big. If that scene is documented fact then I take it back to me it just seemed like a plot device, guys in the old west like that were not likely to be pushover wimps like that, in the scene right before it some of the townspeople seem to be afraid of Billy Bobs character and if he was such a wimp they would of booted his ass out of that saloon long before that.

They weren't all big. For the second and last time, the moustaches (except for Jon Tenney's) were
real
. I don't know how else to say it to make it clearer.
As for the rest of your complaints, I suggest you do a little reading on the subject.
