Ford's Cinematic Send Off: THE MAN WHO SHOT LIBERTY VALANCE
(The following was included as part of my John Ford Film Study course which I taught in the winter/early spring semester of 2023. This is the last film featured in this Ford series. Please enjoy…)
For our last film of this John Ford study, it seems rather fitting to end with the film that many consider to be Ford’s last great film, THE MAN WHO SHOT LIBERTY VALANCE. A somber story with heavy…

John Wayne, il cowboy che si sentiva a suo agio solo con la sua oca
JOHN WAYNE E LA SUA OCA:
Solo con lei si sentiva se stesso
Difficile dire se un personaggio come John Wayne oggi avrebbe avuto lo stesso successo. In tempi in cui si vogliono riscrivere i libri di Roald Dahl o Ian Fleming c’è da sospettare che non sarebbe andato molto lontano.
Duke più che un attore è stato un archetipo, l’eroe. Era questo il ruolo che si era scelto e che interpretava con convinzione, l’uomo con un’idea di giustizia tagliata con…

(day four) into the pile , zack macewen
note, this is part of my mini halloween series, so for the rest of the series, check out this masterlist. none of the fics in this series are connected, so they can be read as standalone.
pair, zack macewen x reader
summary, while cleaning up the front lawn, y/n decides to be a menace and jumps into the pile of freshly gathered leaves that zack had just raked up.
warnings, none
word count, 595 words
(gif not mine)
You had a few days off, so you decided to fly home for a couple of days to help your parents with some tasks they couldn't complete anymore. Zack also had a few days off, so it was perfect.
"Here's the list of the things we need to be done." Your mother handed you a piece of paper at breakfast with all the tasks needed to be completed.
"All right." You read down the list and mentally ticked off the things you wanted to do and the things you could assign to Zack, aka all the more time-consuming tasks you really didn't want to do.
After breakfast, you and Zack both got to work on the tasks assigned. Zack started on the long list of backyard chores while you started on the long list of inside chores.
After finishing a couple of tasks, you looked out to the backyard, and you saw that Zack was still in the same spot he was when you started, yard duty.
You opened the back door and watched as he angrily pulled weeds, "What did the weeds ever do to you?" You joked. In response, he threw the weeds at you, but they flew away.
"I hate yard work." He complained.
"I know." You nodded.
"And right now, I'm hating you just a little." He narrowed his eyes at you.
"Oh, come on." You laughed, "It's not that bad."
"Yes, it is. I've been doing this for like, an hour and I'm not even halfway done. Why can't they just hire someone to do this for them? Better yet, I'll hire someone to do it for them."
"You know they don't like doing that." He groaned, falling backward onto the ground.
"You know what? I'll help you, and it'll get the job done faster."
"You hate yardwork more than I do." He pointed out.
"But the quicker we get this done, the quicker I'll get to go pick up the apple cinnamon donuts I ordered from the diner earlier today."
"Oh, you know the way to my heart." He hummed happily.
"I know, now get back to work." You laughed.
A couple hours later, the weeds were finally all picked up and tied up in garbage bags, and a couple more tasks were ticked off. The only thing left to do was rake the leaves.
You went in to get some mugs of warm apple cider, and when you came back outside, you saw the big pile of leaves he had just raked up.
You set the mugs down on the counter and ran out the back door, jumping right into the big pile of leaves in the middle of the yard. You flashed him a smile as he dropped the rake.
"Really?"
"Before you could answer, your dog ran out the backdoor you had just emerged from, and jumped into the pile with you, "You both really suck." He shook his head.
"Oh, come on, don't be such a sour puss." You rolled your eyes.
You watched him as he raised his hands in surrender and made his way back into the house. But before he walked up the first step, he whipped around and ran towards the pile.
He jumped in with you, landing not far from you and your dog, "Oh, look at that, Mr. No Fun has a fun side." You joked.
"Harhar, very funny." He rolled his eyes, "But, since you created the mess, it's your turn to pick it up." He reached down and handed you the rake he had previously been using.
