How can literature even come close to pure, unadulterated kino?

They didnt have the budget to fly everyone to the USA back then. After the 70's they did though.

The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly is overrated. OUATITW is more kino. Still, I'd rather read Lonesome Dove or Shane or The Border Trilogy or Butcher's Crossing or Riders of the Purple Sage or Angle of Repose or a hundred other books.

I traveled through Tombstone recently as I was moving across the country. Since I was worried about someone busting into my car, I took my pistol and my range bag with me as I walked around town. At several businesses there were signs that said "No Firearms Allowed" at the door, though I wasn't sure whether this was supposed to be a humorous jab at the Earp's no-guns-in-town policy or whether they were being serious.

Film = pure spectacle and flashy entertainment, rarely communicates any meaningful message

Literature = satisfying to consume and process, direct communication of ideas and sensations into your mind without being blocked by the barrier of the screen
