Another "Blondie" thought: If you were...

[Cusser]

I seem to remember, in the added scene after the desert, the Confederate soldier mentions to Tuco something about Santa Fe, and Brother Ramirez' monastery.  And in the added scene after leaving the monastery Tuco mentions something about being in New Mexico and needing to head into Texas.

[KERMIT]

do you think tuco might have been wanting to get away fo new mexico to texas because of his crimes catching up w/ him there ?

& BTW, it seems to me that tuco isn't a murderer like angel eyes. he receives no trial in a court of law but just says ok,ok  i did it all already, hurry up and hang me so i can move on to the next town and be turned in.  so we don't know if he was bad enough to kill someone out right.  in defence of tuco, even if he did commit a tiny murder here or there, it was just self-defense.  
it's those other crimes. it's the hilarious ones, like after receiving payment in advance, deserting the wagon train in the middle of the souix hunting grounds that provide substance for a sub-plot.
very good for the digestion.

ok, aaronson wrote a bitchin little story entitled AFTER "THE END" . it shows great creativity imagination, ect.  in the meantime check it out once again. under general information:after "the end"......just that first post  aaronson sent.  

basically he tells of harmonica and mr. morton winding up on a train together which took bronson/harmonica back to the 1960's/1860's where he met up w/ yul brenner and became one or the magnificent seven.  aaronson's got that creative spark.  

groggy , how do i post a link up so i can show past threads like you do ?  i'm old.  pc's are new to me.

  Hey Kermit.

  Just go to the thread in question, cut/copy the URL in the address box, and paste it into your post.  I know that there's a URL code in the above buttons, but on this board at least you don't need it.  For example, this page:

Glad I could help.

thx amigo

have been listening to a lot of film music. morricone, herrmann, ect. to get inspirition, information, ect.

ie.  put on say riders of the storm by the doors. just the intro.  in a relaxed state sustained intensity.....sometimes, you can imagine a plot of a scam, a scene.  in writting, be your own leone/morricone, ie. get to understand how they worked together.
you don't ever copy them .  but you get to know their mindset.  w/ out morricone's music leone could never have invented the new genre he did. and w/out his old friend leone, morricone may just as well have been just another young, genus composer still starving in italy.
and, it's a fun thing to do.   ...or @ least TRY to do.

In short, you mean listening to a song or tune and having a story plot emerge in your mind, right?    That can happen - just use a little creativity - that's all.

yes. but you have to go to the music, it won't come to you.  GB&U w/out music ? leone wouldn't shoot a scene until he first heard morricone's score so he could invision how the scene would play out. not so w/ american cinema, @ least up until that time.

That's what I meant - as you listen to the music first, a story plot will unfold in your mind.  Leone's method of listening to the music first is a great idea.  The music sure does help, eh?
