Mike says
Confession time: I have never seen Tombstone. I will though. It’s on my must see list.
Brian says
I think you’ll dig it. Give it a try.
Nate Tieman says
Same goes for me. Although after reading the League posts this week, I feel like I have to in order to get my RDAA (Recommended Daily Allowance of Awesome).
shezcrafti says
It’s one of Kurt Russell’s and Val Kilmer’s best roles, as well as a reminder that Jason Priestly should have never starred in anything outside of Beverly Hills 90210.
Mike says
Lol.
I took my kid sister, who was absolutely smitten with Priestly, to meet him at Bloomingdale’s and then to see Calander Girl.
2 hours I’ll never get back.
ClaymationWerewolf says
I like the idea of being the naked butt guy. That’s my thing. People are always like “Who’s The Claymation Werewolf again?” and their friend is all “um…Kurt Russell’s butt?” First Girl: “Ohhhh yeah, that’s right!”
Brian says
You knew I wasn’t going to let that slide, didn’t you? 😉
jboypacman says
Was there ever any doubt Kurt Russell is awesome! Even when he was on Gilligan’s Isle he was great lol.
Rob Skellington says
