Well, except for that whole throwing up thing tonight....I've been feeling better. (And don't ya love when I start the column out on a high note??) So most of the night I sat and watched Butch Cassiday & the Sundance Kid. Geez, what a great freaking movie. How many great lines and scenes have become engrained in your memory from this film?
"Didja...use enough dynamite there Butch?"
"First, let's go over the rules."
"RULES? In a knife fight?"
Great chemistry between Newman & Redford....and Katherine Ross looks great.
Interesting in watching the "making of" featurette, it appears that director George Roy Hill really got pissed off at something Ross did very early in the making of the movie and essentially found herself banned from the movie set if she wasn't filming.
Whether the movie is a semi-documentary or not may be debateable, but its a terrific story with enough really good things in it, on it, and about it to make it a surefire must-see. ****1/2
Hopefully tomorrow I will finally have enough gas in my tank to write my special end-of-the-season spectacular on the football season. That would be the one I had planned on writing sometime last weekend. Like I said....getting sick really sucks.
Later,
Jeff
