And Now, an Unprovoked Movie Thought

Just something that occurred to me today: I would love to see John Carpenter direct a Western. Not a horror-western ("Vampires"), a space-western ("Ghosts of Mars"), a future-western ("Escape from New York") or a modern-day-western ("Assault on Precinct 13")...just a straightforward period Western. I'm really kind of amazed that he hasn't done one yet, but I guess getting typed as a "horror director" has limited his options for other genres.
