What are you watching Volume II
This weekend I saw for the first time in many years the movie "Tombstone" with Kurt Russell, Val Kilmer, and a great cast, including Powers Booth and Michael Biehn as Curly Bill and Johnny Ringo. I saw it a few times in the 90's, including in the theatre, and a watch party at a friends house, which was a great social occasion too. Mostly because everyone loved the movie.
As usual, I had forgotten more of the movie than I remembered, other than that I liked it lot. Well, it was even better than I remembered, especially having read up on Tombstone a bit over the years. There is little wasted footage, and the movie moves along a great pace. Considering at the time there were a lot of issues getting the movie made, I am even more impressed with it.
A happy footnote is that Dana Delany (as Josephine Marcus) sings one of my favorite folk songs, "Red River Valley", in the movie, which I had totally forgotten as being there.
