Watched: Just Pals

Um, I kind of get the Buck Rogers thing. He was pretty attractive. This is a very simple film filled with a bunch of iconic western imagery and a heavily made-up (but still very handsome) Rogers doing an Appatowan manchild thing WAY before Appatow made it a thing with a label. It's only an hour long (point in its favor) and some of the interstitial cards are actually pretty funny. Not bad.

Sick burn.










From its inception, people have used the medium of film to capture the timeless cuteness of kittens.
  

Those guns!



Classic western iconography.



Another classic trope.





Happy ending, much like a Judd Apatow film includes: female love interest breaking it off with her jerk boyfriend, man coming to accept responsibility (adopted orphan boy), growing up as indicated by his wardrobe/grooming habits, and his community banding together to find some way he can retain his boyish, fun-loving ways while also earning money like a Real Man™.
