"You fool! You fell victim to one of the classic blunders! The most famous is never get involved in a land war in Asia, but only slightly less well-known is this: never go in against a Sicilian when death is on the line!"

  5. This is one of those movies I still remember exactly where I was and who I was with the first time I saw it. 100+ times later... it's like going home man.

  7. There's a great story behind how this movie came to be. It's in William Goldman's book Which Lie Did I Tell.

    Fletch,

    I think what you've described is not lazy. But brilliant.

    It's an easy Monday post. No one wants anything really serious on a Monday. Not that I dish out a lot of that stuff around here.
