    Kristin really wanted to go see this Saturday morning. I was kind of like "eh, of course it's great but I've seen it a thousand times." On our way out of the screening, I was seriously weighing whether or not to come back for the second show on Sunday.

    I cannot possibly overstate the extent to which Walter Brennan absolutely killed w the matinee crowd. His perfect pause followed by “I’m gonna start blastin!” almost got a round of applause. When he popped up from behind the wall at the shootout at the end everyone completely lost their shit, you woulda thought the Bears had just won the Super Bowl. 2025 has spoken and it wants more Walter Brennan.

    Love how annoyed Wayne is that this incredibly sexy woman keeps putting the moves on him while he’s in the midst of having to deal w all this other bullshit.

    GOD DEAN.
