The Good, the Bad and the Ugly in 177 Minutes



















Finally watched the full-length "restored" English-language version of Sergio Leone's Il buono, il brutto, il cattivo (1966/1967/2002/2004). All you fans out there, if you haven't seen it, you will dig! I loved every minute of it . . . fills in a few gaps and really adds up to an even stronger epic film.  And hey, it's only 177 minutes long -- i.e., three minutes shy of three full hours. . .

Today's Rune: Flow.

Charles got me started watching this, but we only got maybe an hour into it. That was before Hurricane Katrina, so needless to say I'm going to have to start from square one again one of these days.

I could get into that after a nice nap which I am going to go get right now...the nap not the movie.

That scene near the end is incredible-- almost zero movement for, what, 3 or 4 minutes as the three stand there. Great filmmaking. I'll seek out the restored version.

Johnny, that is the best ever. You'll dig the extra stuff, or have the guns while others dig . . .
