John Wayne Hated His Movies Where He Had to Look Like Western Legend Ken Maynard – My Blog

Actor John Wayne starred in a wide assortment of Western movies ranging from big studio features to small B-movies. He learned to be happy to have the opportunity to work even when he didn’t like the project itself. However, Wayne admitted that he made some movies that he hated because they forced him to dress like previous Western legend Ken Maynard.John Wayne signed with Warner Bros. to make 6 Westerns

Wayne made his first leading performance in 1930’s The Big Trail , which was a box office bomb. After making a couple more pictures, his career didn’t appear to be going anywhere grand. He continued to push forward and found some success in another area. However, they weren’t the big-scale motion features that he was hoping to continue making.
Next, Warner Bros. reached out to Wayne to make six Western movies, but he would still have the freedom to work on other projects at other studios. The actor made $1,500 for each film. Wayne had the opportunity to make B-movies that gave him time to perfect his cowboy aesthetic across different characters that were all named John.John Wayne hated movies where he had to dress like Ken Maynard
According to Michael Munn’s John Wayne: The Man Behind the Myth , there were elements of these movies that Wayne hated. Early Looney Tunes producer Leon Schlesinger worked on all of these B-movie Westerns. However, the actor only respected the producer’s earlier works. There were elements of working on these B-movies, such as The Big Stampede , that he couldn’t stand, such as when they made him dress like Maynard for continuity reasons.“I later thought Leon’s cartoons were better than the horse operas he put me in,” Wayne said. “Those Westerns I made at Warner Bros. were remakes of old Ken Maynard films, and all the big scenes like cattle herds and Indian attacks were taken straight from the original Maynard films.”

Wayne continued: “So, I had to dress up to look like Ken Maynard because a lot of the old footage they inserted had shots of Maynard in the distance. I really hated that.”He became a Western legend of his own
Wayne had to make several bad movies while he continued to build his aesthetic. He certainly developed a very strong understanding of the character he would sell to Hollywood and audiences around the world. Wayne initially didn’t enjoy watching himself on-screen, but he ultimately found a way to utilize that footage to improve his walk . Additionally, the movie star had an instantly recognizable voice that made him the perfect lead in many Western flicks.
He would later join the ranks of the greatest movie stars ever to exist in the Hollywood scene thanks to filmmaker John Ford for amplifying his presence. Actor Clint Eastwood would later present a very different and much darker version of the Western, although a generational divide was one factor that played into Wayne’s not wanting to work with the actor.

Can you solve this puzzle?

### Puzzle Details:
1. **Frank says:** “I didn’t do it.”
2. **John says:** “Frank is lying.”
3. **Peter says:** “Frank is telling the truth.”

### Analyzing the Statements:
Let’s analyze the implications of their statements:

– If **Frank** is telling the truth (he didn’t do it):
– Then **John** is lying (since he claims Frank is lying).
– If John is lying, that means **Frank** is indeed innocent.
– **Peter** is telling the truth by claiming Frank is honest.

Thus, if Frank is telling the truth:
– Frank = Innocent
– John = Guilty (because he lied)
– Peter = Innocent

– If **Frank** is lying (he did it):
– Then **John** is telling the truth (as he says Frank is lying).
– If John is telling the truth, then Frank is indeed guilty.
– **Peter** is lying (as he claims Frank is telling the truth).

Thus, if Frank is lying:
– Frank = Guilty
– John = Innocent
– Peter = Guilty (because he lied)

### Summary of Scenarios:
1. **Frank is Innocent:** (Frank: Truth, John: Lie, Peter: Truth)
2. **Frank is Guilty:** (Frank: Lie, John: Truth, Peter: Lie)

### Conclusion:
– If Frank is innocent, John’s statement indicates he is guilty, which means Peter must be innocent.
– If Frank is guilty, then John is innocent but Peter must now be guilty.

**In both scenarios, we can determine that John cannot be guilty at the same time as Frank.**

Thus, the only consistent solution appears to be:
– **Frank is guilty.**
– **John is innocent.**
– **Peter is lying.**

Therefore, only one man is guilty, which is **Frank.**

Sydney Sweeney hits back at horrific body shaming comments on viral pictures with incredible response

Sydney Sweeney has posted an Instagram video which included body shaming comments

Sydney Sweeney has hit back at horrific body shaming comments she’s received online with an incredible response.

For famous faces, social media can be an extremely toxic place, and it’s why we’ve seen some celebrities reduce their online presence as a result.

Euphoria star Sydney Sweeney has become the subject of body shaming comments in recent times, and she responded to these on Instagram in the best possible way.

The actor posted a shot clip that began with screenshots of a bunch of body shaming comments she’s received online, including some calling her ‘quite frumpy’, ‘very chunky’ and ‘tubby’.

After many screenshots of horrible comments were shown on screen, the video cut to Sweeney in her training gear at the gym.

The video cut to a sign that said ‘hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard’ as Sweeney worked hard with a trainer, struck a punching bag and even flipped a large tire in what looked like an extremely intense workout.

Many have flocked to the comments section of the Instagram video to praise Sweeney for her response to the trolls.

“I will never understand the hate in people‘s hearts when it comes to leaving comments like this,” one person commented.

A second added: “Ngl why do people feel entitled to talk about someone’s body specially someone you don’t personally know,” while a third remarked: “No one has the right or reason to make comments on anyones body, ever.”

Meanwhile, Lili Reinhart penned: “It’s always wild to see people publicly out themselves as pieces of shit with comments like that. You look incredible and your dedication to your project is very inspiring.”

The video actually concluded with the name ‘Christy Martin’ being shown on the screen, which is a nod to Sweeney’s upcoming biopic where she plays a famed female boxer.

Boxing fans will likely know Martin is a is a former professional boxer who earned herself the WBC female super welterweight title in 2009.

Sweeney has spoken previously about her process of getting into her movie character, telling The Los Angeles Times in March that she’s a ‘very hands-on collaborator’.

“I like being able to give ideas, be a part of it, help come up with solutions. It just changes the whole process,” she said.

Sweeney continued: “It’s so hard for me now to be on a set and not be able to help in any type of way and be able to take action. And being able to actually have a voice and have a valued opinion—it means so much.”
