I’m your huckleberry

Damn just watched Tombstone first time long time.

That was fortuitous. That means lucky.

Tombstone is an American treasure. I still know every work to every scene. Mrs4 hates it when I catch it on tv.

"huckle bearer"

---

Yeah, the script definitely says Huckleberry, but it did make me pause when internet know-it-all's claimed it was huckle bearer, as it's a 19th century synonym for pall-bearer. (Huckles supposedly were what coffin handles were called.)

But even then, the huckleberry usage is more in line with the sophistication of Holliday's well-educated character who could make someone shite their pants by using such a simple but elegant line as a fearless challenge.

Huckle-bearer may have been more fitting script-wise, but it's too on the nose for my taste, as it would've taken away from Holliday's mystique.

Billy Bob Thornton was in that one

All-star cast: K Russell, V Kilmer, B Paxton, Billy Bob, Sam Elliot, Charlton, Heston, Powers Boothe, Dana Delany, Michael Rooker, Stephen Lang, T.H. Church, J Priestly. Robert Mitchum as the narrator! (Even Frank Stallone)

But the dude that played Johnny Ringo surprisingly never became a household name despite playing significant parts in Tombstone, Aliens and Terminator! I already forgot his name despite just reading it on IMDb cast list!

“It appears my hypocrisy knows no bounds”

ETA: Heston cameo is perfect and an added plus!

Major roles also in Navy Seals and The Rock.

It's hard to go wrong with Kurt Russell.

Imagine having Kurt Russell as a cool uncle.

Maybe the best thing that can be said about Kurt Russell the person is that Goldie Hawn's kids from her previous marriage adore him and consider him their father. He really is that cool uncle.

You hear stories about... "well such and such is a real jackass away from the camera" but you never hear the cast and crew of a Kurt Russell film bad mouthing the man. Its great to watch his late career resurgence in recent years.

One of the funniest lines in the movie was:
