“A more interpretive sense is character is destiny’: people become what their nature and experiences make them, and perhaps are shaped by the company they keep.”<\/p>\n
Distraction has consisted of re-watching all of Lonesome Dove and its two sequels, the bad one with a wooden Jon Voigt and the good one called Streets Of Laredo. You could say that one starred James Garner, but Sissy Spacek really carried it, and there were some outstanding ensemble performances besides. <\/p>\n
