I wonder if those are the ripped-from-old-video-tapes files an LJer did a couple of years ago. It didn't come out on DVD until like last year so those were pretty much all you could find for ages.
I know. But it was urined for me by this really good Canadian novel which has a character whose father was an actor in Hollywood during the heyday of westerns, and just. Faily. :(
Oh jeeeeeez DDDDDDDDDDDDD: THE THING ABOUT WESTERNS is that you do not want to know anything about anything about them because it's just EPIC FAIL. EPICCCCCCC FAAAAAAAAAAAAIL.
Exactly, right? I was like, "...Well shit. Won't be able to watch another western after all that race!fail! D:"
It's Green Grass Running Water by Thomas King, and it's about a Blackfoot family living in Alberta, and the narrative of their story is entwined with revisionist creation myths. Although it's fiction in print, it's told in the tradition of oral storytelling, so it reads like someone telling you this amazing story. It's fabulous. I love it so, so, so much.
I have to say in all seriousness that anyone who watches Slings & Arrows and doesn't love it is an actualfax sociopath who hates freedom.
It has swordfights and romance and terrifying pretentious theatre directors and ghosts and original musicals about hookers in Vancouver and &SHAKESPEARE; and grudges and decapitations and non-stop lulz!
The good thing about S&A is that it's a story in three acts, so it feels very complete. Each season is only 6 episodes long, though, 18 episodes altogether. Which I think is more than Twitch City? IDK. But a number of the people from Twitch City are involved (of course) and Mark McKinney co-wrote/co-stars. :D?
Yeah, that's more than Twitch City. And how could a bunch of the people involved with that NOT also be involved with S&A. I MEAN, HELLO, I'M PRETTY SURE EVERY ACTOR/ESS IN CANADIA WAS IN TWITCH CITY.
