You can watch it twice in twelve hours (except for the credits).

Werd. I stopped reading Larry McMurtry cuz he always killed off his heros and that pissed me off.

His books were really long too. That was irritating. It would like take me like 12 hours to read them.

Awesome series. I'm in the midst of a fresh play through, myself (incidentally, I had the first game back when it still went by the name "Hero's Quest"). Currently working on Quest for Glory IV. Without question the best game in the series (Love the voice work. John Rhys Davies, Jim Cummings, and Jennifer Hale in her first video game voice role. Dragon Fire was such a letdown after this one), even if I and II are my favorites. I'm almost ready to start the End Game, just mucking about trying to finish grinding my important stats (playing as a Paladin) to max before I trigger it.

You can watch it twice in twelve hours (except for the credits). 

You could watch the Lord of the Rings once (as far as I'm concerned, it's one movie).
Ron White says you can't fix stupid. I beg to differ. Stupid will usually sort itself out, it's just a matter of making sure you're not close enough to become collateral damage.

I loved the book, Blue Duck was a terrifying villain when I was a kid. The film was a let down. Mutch like Catch 22. :old:

Probably the best western even put on film (TV or motion picture).

Duvall is wonderful, as is Tommy Lee Jones.

Duvall's bar/bartender scene is a classic, as is Jones' scene with the mean cavalry scout. "I hate rudeness in a man, I won't tolerate it".

The Bar scene... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OLNshIY2W-Y
