i did too.

I didn't get it. Why is that?

I didn't get it. Why is that?

ok, so here it is. i love movies, period. i am a movie JUNKIE. it sometimes gets in the way of guitar practice. we have a huge collection of them... a whole 'stupid movie' genre included. if it makes me laugh, it gets a vote.

i figured it as a contra to the whole 'leslie nielsen' genre, to try and up it. wasn't the whole 'hot shot' series about that same time, with leslie and charlie sheen, et al?

stupid as all get out? heck ya. did it make me laugh? yes.

The rumor is that Val hired her for his divorce, and she subsequently closed down her lucrative private practice, moved to New Mexico, and became his personal attorney.

Hmm, mouthpiece of Sauron kind of thing. I am just not that much of a hired gun I guess. It is one of the things I now enjoy now that I am not a PD, being able to say "no" to clients. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed a lot about the PD, but the time had come to move on.

Hey do the "lawdawg" one.

That one is probably one of my favorite scenes to run through....Ike Clanton is sooo much fun....

The other really fun scene I have a great time playing with is The scene where Doc is playing the piano "Nocturne" and Billy Clanton is asking if he knows any Stephen Foster....the whole

Billy Clanton: You know any Stephen Foster?
Doc Holliday: (Doc being both annoyed and really drunk says) Pardon?
Billy: Stephen Foster. Oh, Susannah, Camptown Races. Stephen stinkin' Foster!
Doc: Well, this happens to be a nocturne.
Billy: A which?
Doc: A nocturne! You know, Frederic (bleepin) Chopin?



I also really really love the scene between Wyatt and and Johnny Tyler and the subsequent scene when Doc arrives in Tombstone and Tyler is coming for Wyatt with the shotgun....

I really love this movie and a huge old west history buff. When I lived in Arizona I took as much of this in as I possibly could although since I lived much further north in Prescott Valley....I did not manage to get to Tombstone...I did spend as much time as I could over in Prescott tho. The old west museum there is great

Hey do the "lawdawg" one.

Tone I am being lazy since it is almost shower and work time...but here is a nice cut and paste of that whole scene....truly great work by all the actors.

Curly Bill: [takes a bill with Wyatt's signature from a customer and throws it on the faro table] Wyatt Earp, huh? I heard of you.
Ike Clanton: Listen, Mr. Kansas Law Dog. Law don't go around here. Savvy?
Wyatt Earp: I'm retired.
Curly Bill: Good. That's real good.
Ike Clanton: Yeah, that's good, Mr. Law Dog, 'cause law don't go around here.
Wyatt Earp: I heard you the first time.
[flips a card]
Wyatt Earp: Winner to the King, five hundred dollars.
Curly Bill: Shut up, Ike.
Johnny Ringo: [Ringo steps up to Doc] And you must be Doc Holliday.
Doc Holliday: That's the rumor.
Johnny Ringo: You retired too?
Doc Holliday: Not me. I'm in my prime.
Johnny Ringo: Yeah, you look it.
Doc Holliday: And you must be Ringo. Look, darling, Johnny Ringo. The deadliest pistoleer since Wild Bill, they say. What do you think, darling? Should I hate him?
Kate: You don't even know him.
Doc Holliday: Yes, but there's just something about him. Something around the eyes, I don't know, reminds me of... me. No. I'm sure of it, I hate him.
Wyatt Earp: [to Ringo] He's drunk.
Doc Holliday: In vino veritas.
["In wine is truth" meaning: "When I'm drinking, I speak my mind"]
Johnny Ringo: Age quod agis.
["Do what you do" meaning: "Do what you do best"]
Doc Holliday: Credat Judaeus apella, non ego.
["The Jew Apella may believe it, not I" meaning: "I don't believe drinking is what I do best."]
Johnny Ringo: [pats his gun] Eventus stultorum magister.
["Events are the teachers of fools" meaning: "Fools have to learn by experience"]
Doc Holliday: [gives a Cheshire cat smile] In pace requiescat.
["Rest in peace" meaning: "It's your funeral!"]
Tombstone Marshal Fred White: Come on boys. We don't want any trouble in here. Not in any language.
Doc Holliday: Evidently Mr. Ringo's an educated man. Now I really hate him.

Elizabeth Shue has always been one of my alltime favorite hollywood hotties. She was great in The Saint - agreed!

Elizabeth is and definitely was smoking hot...I loved her in Karate Kid and Coctail with Tom Cruise....my son hates it when I tell this story...but I named him after her character in Cocktail (Jordan)


His momma altho she certainly does not look like her now......was the spitting image of Elizabeth Shue during that whole Karate Kid, Adventures in Babysitting era....which is why I was so interested in her when we first met.

Then you are a fortunate man indeed, Kazz...:

The Karate Kid was Elizabeth Shue's first role, in 1984. Her next roll was in the TV show, Call To Glory, about an Air Force pilot (played by Craig T. Nelson) in the 1960's. I remember thinking at the time of the show, this girl is going to be a really beautiful woman. I didn't realize at the time, that although Shue was playing a teenager in the show, she was actually 21 years old already. I was right about one thing though. Elizabeth Shue did become an even more beautiful woman as she got a little older.

That might be it. I think it was too low for me. I thought Leslie Nielsen's Spy Hard was brilliant though.

Your response Kazz requires pics.

I think the producers really did a great service to the movie by hiring these guys to star in it.

Kurt as Wyatt Earp was perfect...

My favorite western type character actor though has got to be Sam Ellliot!
