Loophole LaRue, SASS #51438 3,285 Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 I watched all 13 episodes of the first season of Justified this week; great modern version of a Cowboy Classic, and real decent entertainment. In one espisode, the Marshal drawls a line that I am sure came from a Western, but I just can't place it: "It seemed like a good idea at the time"..... Where did that come from? Eastwood?

Anvil Al #59168 314 Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 For some reason. I keep thinking John Wayne said that in some movie. Link to post Share on other sites
Tex Jones, SASS 2263 806 Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 Steve McQueen in Magnificent Seven when he was askd by Eli Wallach why they came to Mexico. He told the story of the guy who took off his clothes and sat in a cactus patch. When asked why he responded " It seemed like a good idea at the time" Link to post Share on other sites

I think you have a winner here, but I also don't think it was the only time that line was used in a movie. Link to post Share on other sites

Hard Mouth, SASS #60280 0 Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 It's a common line. Usually comes two steps after "Hold my beer and watch this!" Link to post Share on other sites
