Well, with a collection of Fran Strycker (the originator of the Lone Ranger) books, and a fan of all those TV shows back when, I have serious doubts that those of us who lived that are gonna like Tonto with a buzzard sitting on his head. For me, the second "True Grit" did not measure up to the first. I also am of the opinion that the guy who played the Lone Ranger in those, and, kind of eccentrically, tried to live the part forever, got rough treatment from the corporate license holders. The guy they have playing the Lone Ranger in this version looks just plain skinny, like he was lost at sea for a few months and lived off what he could drag aboard. But I guess if you sent
off a Cheerios boxtop for a Lone Ranger sparking pistol ring, you'd be hard to please, too. To this day, I have to swat my hand to keep from starting a collection of cap
pistols including one very rare one I had as a kid and saw on eBay.
