(Apologies to folks seeing this twice - I'll get the hang of this cross-posting thing eventually. :P )
This is probably one of several Mag7 moments that'll be included... it's hard to pick just one. :) But let's start with an iconic one that never fails to have me falling in love with these boys all over again.
Source: Magnificent Seven (TV) - One Day Out West
Moment: Did you just call me a cowboy?
Warning? None
Setup: Our seven heroes arrive in town just as a confrontation is going on between Judge Orin Travis and the nephew of an influential rancher who's just killed a shopkeeper.
The Scene:
Commentary: The highlight of this moment for me is (of course) Michael Biehn. "Did you just call me a cowboy?" "Not yet." I could seriously could watch his delivery on those over and over and never get tired. I'm sort of in awe of how he sells that mix of stone-cold threat wand smirky, laughing-at-you-to-your-face sort of humor, and just the right amount of arrogant gunfighter swagger. It's such a step further along the acting scale than you'd get from 99% of other actors doing the "brooding man-in-black" archetype, there's really no comparison. (Even though I know I'm not explaining it very well. That's what the video clip is for. :) )
Anyway, there are other scenes I could've gone with to showcase my adoration of Chris Larabee, but there's so much else to love in this little exchange... the way the commentary pings around without missing a beat. Buck moseying right into the bad guys' personal space without a care in the world and being so almighty *amused* by the proceedings. Ezra with his ruffles and dust and snark. Josiah popping up out of nowhere in ways that shouldn't be possible for a dude who's so clearly built more for looming. *flail*
