livingdeb"Sunset" isn't actually an old western like I said yesterday. It is set in 1929, but it was made in 1988. This movie is good, cheesy fun.
It has Bruce Willis playing a movie star who actually mostly likes all the fame and garbage that comes with that, and he does a very good job. James Garner steals the show as the technical expert on one of the movie star's cowboy movies, specifically, an aged Wyatt Earp.
It's a buddy movie, a shoot-em-up movie, and a "costume" movie. And it makes fun of westerns. If you like that sort of thing, I recommend this movie. If you are more in the mood for a deep, serious, realistic movie, then this is not for you.
There is a little more realism than you might expect, and you also get to learn a new strategy for dealing with certain kinds of trouble. I doubt this is the kind of solution I will ever apply, but I wonder if I will think of it sometimes.

(Barely) broken thing of the day: If you want to exclude all but a certain number of hours of more than one course, and that number of hours is 4, 5, or 6, and one of the courses on the list is an old version of another course, and that course is earlier on the list than the other course, our rule will not work for that old course. (We may have never had that situation before.)
