I often find GARRETT more emotionally stirring than THE WILD BUNCH (which I also love). My affection for POPEYE probably has more to do with my love of Segar's THIMBLE THEATRE than the film itself.garvhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11554635572232453299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6546786153962013594.post-64143972152012615212008-06-18T23:42:00.000-07:002008-06-18T23:42:00.000-07:00Sometimes sober isn't the best way to enjoy these....Sometimes sober isn't the best way to enjoy these.<BR/><BR/>I know after some of these, I _need_ a drink!<BR/><BR/>Cheers!Roger L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/18132623003395075177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6546786153962013594.post-34212260576809801192008-06-18T16:20:00.000-07:002008-06-18T16:20:00.000-07:00I think you may have a book in the "coke" movie co...I think you may have a book in the "coke" movie concept.
