Gratuitous Llama Slap-Shot Movie Reviews

Sat through a bit of War and Peace last evening. (I had not seen it before.) In the who-gives-a-damn-about-accents department, I found Henry Fonda's Pierre to be rather....transcendental. He could just as easily have been fighting the Comanche as the French.

Fortunately, for I had no intention of staying up til midnight to finish off W&P, the Hallmark Channel was running The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance. I love watching Jimmy Stewart and John Wayne working together, although I haven't figured out a way to put why I enjoy it in words yet.

Oh, by the way, I believe it was from War and Peace that Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure pinched those few seconds of Napoleonic battle. Now there is a movie that is a lot more sublimely clever than one would have thought at first. A particularly fitting line for today:

Bill: You ditched Napoleon? Deacon, do you realize you've stranded one of Europe's greatest leaders?

Deacon: He was a dick!

Zut, indeed.
