latest movie version is a definite advance on the old john wayne
'classic'
saturday matinee hero worship ego fest..

but still leaves out too much to fit convenient running time and budget..

it'd be very interesting to see what an HBO mini series with
production values and intelligence/iconoclasm

of "Deadwood" and "Rome"

could do with this facinating 'true-life' saga..


maybe 10 episodes with the Alamo siege occupying the middle 4 or 5 episodes,
but with more time devoted to presenting the historical/political build up and consequences..

and the follow up massacre that i've forgotten the
name of and dont recall
ever seeing depicted in a movie..??
