gunfight anniversary

Yesterday was the 125th anniversary of the Gunfight at the OK Corral. You know.... the one in Tombstone AZ with Wyatt and the other Earps, Doc Holliday, and the Clantons. Last summer Josh was living in AZ and I went to visit and we went to Tombstone. It was a grand ol' time, with rotating dioramas narrated by Vincent Price and gunfight re-enactments. So to commemorate the anniversary of the shootout Josh and I rented Tombstone. You know, the one with Kurt Russell and Val Kilmer. There are a lot of notable actors in that film. Kurt Russell is always fabulous of course, and Val Kilmer as pale sweaty dieing Doc Holliday, well I think that may be the perforamance of his lifetime. Really his finest work. other notables: Billy Zane, Jason Priestley, Terry O'Quinn, Bill Paxton, I could go on and on. But the real stars of that movie are the mustaches.

Yeah, back when he had hair and his eyebrows weren't so scarily tweezed to death.
