Some of you may know this already. I was watching an old 1960 western yesterday called, The Magnificent Seven. The movie was about a group of Mexican peasant villagers oppressed by bandits and they hired a group of seven gunfighters (slingers) to defend them. In the movie Vin said..
Vin: We deal in lead, friend.
Calvera: So do I. We're in the same business.
Vin: Only as competitors.
Just interesting because I thought "We deal in lead" was a King original... not so...
I too was watching that yesterday on TCM...a classic!Quote:

Grant thoughts. This will be re-directed to The Baronies

Well, this is just perfect.
I think stuff from TM7 is ripped off (for lack of a better term) in the final showdown in The Wolves of the Calla.
Seven Samurai actually
WeDealInLead...
Did you think it was a King original, like I did?
I thought the thread was about you!!! LOL LOL LOLQuote:

To be honest, I didn't give it much thought. I picked it because that's the most memorable line from the book. It sent chills down my spine.Quote:
