Tombstone is like the greatest movie EVER.
I mean, how could it not be? Val Kilmer, Sam Elliot, Kurt Russell, Dana Delaney, Billy Zane, Powers Boothe, Jason Priestly, Bill Paxton, Billy Bob Thorton, Michael Biehn, Charlton Heston, Thomas Haden Church, John Corbett, Terry O'Quinn, and Michael Rooker all are in it. Plus, *Robert Mitchum* is the narrator? It's like a character actor wet dream.
[Really, it's all about Kilmer's Doc Holliday. He's so damn cool. Though, I like Russel in almost everything too - and he's great here as the flawed but imposing Earp.]
"You're no daisy at all!"
Actually, the fact that it's as good as it is IS sort of amazing. According to IMDb, the director's other credits include Cobra and Rambo: First Blood Part II. The writer did work on Glory and The Devil's Own, though there is a Rambo: First Blood Part II credit along with one for The Mummy as well. Sometimes the stars just align I guess.
"I'll be your huckleberry."

Oh, I also read a short interview with the daughter of Mr. Powell in Portland. Totally smoking hot, of course.
By the way, if you and your wife are free Wednesday, a small posse is getting together at Rock Bottom brewery (grand & state) at 6 pm. I'd love to meet you guys, since I'm missing you this weekend at PFork. Let me know ...
