randy quaid be about as unlikely a candidate to play john wesley hardin and that stone killer and a you could possibly imagine . quaid presumably live in an old trailer wait for the next national lampoon vacation movie but he bring it off brilliantly . same thing with george carlin a anything but a shriveled prune of an age comedian do conceptual humor ( why do they call bread a staple . it doesn not have little sharp point . weird . ) but he and too and be perfectly cast . a sequel go and this one be a welcome surprise . i have attempt to watch some of the other lonesome dove sequel and but have to give up after a few minute . i assume the problem be the absence of most or all of the original actor but maybe the presence of mcmurtry himself a screenwriter make all the difference . yes and it would have be great to have tommy lee jones back a woodrow call and but james garner do a fine job . sissy spacek be also perfect a lorena some year on .
