Don’t feel so bad. Frank Stallone probably hasn’t noticed that you’ve watched _Tombstone_ thirty times. ---

Nowhere close to that many, but I rank it way high among good Westerns. So many great characterizations. I still flinch when Billy Bob comes on – 3 years before _Sling Blade_ even. My favorite line is when Powers Boothe say, “Bye.” ---

Did you realize that the Colonel from “Avatar” was Ike Clanton? That was quite a “Holy crap!” moment for me, considering what a coward Ike is in the movie. “Please Wyatt. Please don’t kill me.” ---

Oh, an educated man. I hate him. Thanks for fighting my ignorance. As much as I love the photography and … other stuff I guess of _Rambo: First Blood Part II_, I never knew Sly had a regular-looking brother. Good for him, I guess. Still, 30 times is a lot, even for _Tombstone_. Do you skip past the horse-riding scenes with Delaney? ---

> [@muldoonthief](#): > > Did you realize that the Colonel from “Avatar” was Ike Clanton? You know, hearing you say that, I think that’s the one thing I remember about _Avatar_ – “Hey, it’s that guy!” Thanks for that, I guess.🆒 ---

Until really recently, I never realized that Michael Rooker (Merle from “The Walking Dead”) was Sherman McMasters in Tombstone. (and more bizarrely, as Svenning in Mallrats!) ---

Well, she’s a good looking babe, and maybe a good actor, in something, and I remember her on _China Beach_ when I was a kid and thinking she was fine there too. But, let’s be real. Time and place for everything, and I think all that stuff messes up a good action picture. Carry a torch, much? 😛 ---

You don’t say. Guess I’ll have to watch it for a 35th time and see what else I’ve missed. ---

I’ve eaten Tombstone Pizza at least thirty times. StG
