Tombstone Times - VIRGIL EARP IS MY HERO - by Shiloh Eldridge
 After watching the 1993 movie, Tombstone, and living right here in Tombstone , I must admit that I am tired of everybody glorifying Wyatt and leaving Virgil out of the picture. As one Earp author, Glenn Boyer, says and I quote: "If Virgil had not died in 1905, the 'hero' we know from the Tombstone today would probably be him”. He was a Deputy United State's Marshal and Tombstone Police Chief when the shooting occurred and thus was the primary law enforcement officer in the incident. As for the OK Corral gunfight, it was Virgil who was disgusted with Sheriff Behan's weakness and for his constant protection of the 'cowboys' states another author, Don Chaput, in his book, "Virgil Earp, Western Peace Officer". It was Virgil who yelled at the cowboys to put their hands in the air, not Wyatt as he didn't want a gunfight if he could have avoided it, the same way law enforcement thinks today. I definitely concur with Mr. Boyer as do a lot of locals and tourists I have spoken with. I do believe if Wyatt had never met the old western movie actor, William S. Hart, and had never gotten involved in the 'Hollywood atmosphere', the movies made about Tombstone would not have him in the star role. Virgil was involved in law enforcement, one way or another, most of his life and also fought in the Civil war for three years.

 Let's face it. There are 'guy' movies and there are 'girl' movies, also known as 'date movies' or 'chick flicks.' Anything with Hugh Grant qualifies as a date movie, while "Fried Green Tomatoes" is a chick flick. "Beaches" is a chick flick. "Steel Magnolias" is most definetly a chick flick. "Tombstone"... well, if you like spicy hot buffallo wings dripping with bleu cheese, cold beer, and football, this movie is for you. Critics of "Tombstone" -- and you know who you are -- point out its cliched plot, which is more or less based on the real-life fued between ex-lawman Wyatt Earp and his brothers Morgan and Virgil, and their friend John "Doc" Holliday, and a gang of transplanted Texas outlaws called the Cowboys, which culminated in the world's most famous shoot-out, the gunfight at the O. K. Corral. They point out that some of the dialogue is stilted and hokey, if not outright r They shake their heads at gunfights which rage for minutes with no one troubling to reload and the villains seemingly unable to hit anything except trees, windows, dirt, and if they are very lucky, the non-lethal areas of our heroes. I look upon these souls with pity. Because they are missing the whole point of this classic, pen-ultimate "guy" film: GUILTY PLEASURE. Like football, beer, and the afformentioned spicy chicken wings, "Tombstone" is not good. It is just fun.
