Liberty Valance was one of those movies I saw alot as a kid. It's the best Western John Wayne ever made. And Lee Marvin. Wow. I need to watch that one again.
1) The way Renault yells "Thank you very much" is so much funnier than if he'd said it sotto voce.
2) The croupier is played by the star of Jean Renoir's Grand Illusion...his appearance here in the equivalent of Jackie Chan or Jean Reno showing up in a Hollywood movie.
I forever stand vigilant to protect this planet from the myriad of forces that are always against us. Be it the octopus, zombies, aliens or the robots my team of human agents, and our feline allies, circle the globe in a never ending struggle for human freedom.
I learn all I can on every subject that interests me. I especially enjoy ancient history because in the past there are valuable lessons to be found. Also, if I ever get my time machine to work properly, it would be good to know a bit about possible destinations and what to expect when I get there.
I greatly appreciate beautiful design. Be it manufactured or found naturally I am fascinated by the process of invention. I am attracted to the unique, the strange, the haunted. I like to share what I find on this blog.
And not let us forget the 'Cephalopod Menace' who, if allowed to, would wrap their tentacles around all that is good and pure in this life and crush it until it remained no more. They are creatures of pure spite. Hate is all they know. Death is all they do. They are our most ruthless and determined enemy.
So we fight. Selena has the celebrity contacts, the cat is ruthless and without pity, Roosevelt's ghost has the experience and I do the wetwork.
Fighting for the future of the planet doesn't have to be a chore, however. We can take the time to appreciate all that is cool in this world even as we cut the octopus into bite sized chunks.
This is the reason there has always been and must forever be, a Cave of Cool. Be sure to wipe your feet before you enter.

Yeah, I love that scene too!
This movie was lightning in a bottle.
Just watched Claude Raines in the Invisible Man! It was Wifey's first time seeing it.
Perfection....!!
Fantastic acting/directing/scripting.
You'd better believe it!
A damned near perfect movie. That and Treasure of the Sierra Madre, The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, etc. etc.

Two great things about this particular moment:
1) The way Renault yells "Thank you very much" is so much funnier than if he'd said it sotto voce.
2) The croupier is played by the star of Jean Renoir's Grand Illusion...his appearance here in the equivalent of Jackie Chan or Jean Reno showing up in a Hollywood movie.
