Thanks for the reminder.
I find it fascinating that we've had six (??) James Bonds, and the films still seem to make it at the box office. But The Lone Ranger? Anything they've tried since Clayton Moore's television Lone Ranger went off the air has been a flop. The most recent effort, with Mr. Pirates of the Caribbean playing Tonto, was a disaster. I saw it on the telly when I was in the hospital -- even having not paid to watch it, I was upset that I had wasted the time.
I kept hoping it would get better. Instead, it just got worse.
Clayton Moore WAS the Lone Ranger.
