I Will Fight No More Forever

It’s about Chief Joseph of the Nez Perce tribe and his resistance to being relocated to a reservation in Idaho. It’s from 1975.

There is a 46 mile highway in WY near Yellowstone that follows the path he took as he lead his tribe to Canada. It’s the Chief Joseph Scenic Byway.

Son of a b***h, it was in theaters

Haha it’s just a very specific memory for me.

My dad took me and my brother out of school early the Friday it came out, drove us to New Orleans, and we saw it at the Galleria theater. Stayed there all weekend, toured all around New Orleans on Saturday, then watched the LSU v Miami Saturday night (44-3 Tha U, ouch ), then went to the Saints Broncos game on Sunday where we crushed Denver 42-0 (bro and I were huge Elway fans, actually watched in a suite where we also had access to the visitor’s bus area afterwards because he wanted us to get an autograph).

Elway actually declined after the beatdown

Didn’t care though, was legit one of the best weekends of my childhood, and it all started with Land Before Time at the Galleria 8

I've seen all 4 versions of "Of Mice And Men" over the years and I think the last one is my favorite.

It stars Gary Sinise as George and John Malkovich as Lenny. Malkovich's portrayal of the man-child Lenny was unbelievably good with Sinise putting in an equally solid performance as George.

The other one I like is the original released in 1939 starring Burgess Merridith as George and Lon Chaney as Lenny.

The Stand (1994), it was classified as a tv series but was essentially a movie. Loved it when it came out.
