Impetuous! Homeric!
I know it’s redundant to Twitter and Facebook and blog about the same thing within the matter of a few minutes, but … I can’t help myself.
As you know, I was sick over the weekend, and then plunged right into several very busy days at work. So tonight, I went to dinner at church (I was on the list, and so the church would have been out $6.25 in catering on my behalf otherwise) but did not stay for Bible study. I came on home to try to relax, after busy evenings Monday and Tuesday.
And, lo and behold, the fine folks at Turner Classic Movies had “The Quiet Man” all warmed up and waiting for me. Perfect. John Wayne and Maureen O’Hara, Barry Fitzgerald, and three-strip Technicolor cinematography that is as green as the Ireland of John Ford’s memory (and probably greener than the real Ireland). And if you look up “donnybrook” in the dictionary, there is (or should be) a little photo of John Wayne and Victor McLaglen in one of the longest and most-entertaining fistfights in Hollywood history.
Absolute bliss. And the title of this post, which is spoken by Fitzgerald during the movie, is one of the funniest reaction takes in any movie.
