...other hand, there's something very attractive about the boots worn by the notorious bandit and ironist, Ben Wade (Russell Crowe) - a dapper, literate, sexy guy who whiles away his idle moments drawing sketches in his ever-present notebook. We are drawn more to his insouciant spirit than we are to the earnest, hard-pressed (and well-played) Dan. When the rancher, desperately needing the $200 fee, signs on to escort the captured outlaw through hard country in order to catch the 3:10 to Yuma where a courthouse, a trial and, doubtless, a necktie party await Ben, we know...

...wondering, why would anyone need three shades of pink with them at all times? My life is color-coded. Each subject, each activity, each event has a color. My assignment notebook is practically a work of art. Many people have been horrified and entertained by my color-coded life. Sometimes the colors have to share roles (I only have 20, after all). However, through my four years, some colors have had some general themes...
