I know that a lot of people have talked about Pekinpah in connnection with The Three Burials... but I mentioned Cormac McCarthy's novels instead because I know them better, don't know much about Pekinpah and have not watched him for a good long time. Plus McCarthy is certainly of interest to Jones, since ha bought the rights to McCarthy's masterpiece Blood Meridian and wrote a screenplay for it with studio approval, but the studio however rejected as too violent and bloody. Jones's comment: They don't know the novel I guess, and they don't know me. I'm not sure of the logic of mentioning Gibson, Redford, and Costner. I have no use for Dances with Wolves. I didn't like Braveheart at all. I couldn't take it seriously. But I wasn't sixteen. The Academy liked it. Gibson has since alienated me completely. Redford is iconic as an actor and Ordinary People is a very fine movie so I can agree with wpqx on that.
