To ... well ... paraphrase "Diner" ... "I KNEEEEEEWWWWW 'Ice Storm'" but hubby insisted that wasn't it so I didn't enter. *sigh*

By the way, just wondering ... how do you guys choose your musical artist each week?

"A Fistful of Dollars" was not the only remake of Yojimbo. "Last Man Standing" (1996) was an utterly unremarkable film that starred Bruce Willis and was set in the Prohibition Era. I know about it because I was apparently one of the few living people who subjected themselves to it.
