We went up there a few years back for a weekend just to get away. The bridges are pretty cool, but I couldn't care less about the movie. Ate like an Iowegian at Iowa Machine Shed, went to a pretty good cidery in Winterset and visited Living History Farm in Urbandale, which is pretty cool. Something about it reminded me of this place  

That reminds me of the Iowa Machine Shed. 😆

The worst movie I ever had to sit through. 

I don't doubt it. I don't believe I've ever watched it.  If it doesn't have a chimp in it, is it even a real Clint Eastwood movie? 🙈

A favorite of mine.  But.  When it comes to Western reading, nobody beats Larry McMurtry.  

Another goodun came to mind: Hud. Haven’t read the book but love the movie.

I don't think I ever saw a movie that actually related to the book it was supposedly "based on". Books just have so much more detail and scope. I also don't think that I ever saw John Wayne act, he always just seems to play the same character. The costars always make the movie.
