If you have not seen Secondhand Lions, you have missed one outstanding movie. I first saw it on a premium channel and then went out and bought the DVD.

Wow! Great memories of Fleming! I can read and re-read him and the enjoyment never flags. Wonderful column! Kudos and FReegards!

Didn't I just read where that kid from the movie just got his second DUI? If he don't quit drinking he is going to see dead people.

[Hub and Garth are getting ready to shoot at a traveling salesman]
Walter: Why not see what he's sellin'?
Hub: What the hell for?
Walter: Well what's the good of having all that money if you're never gonna spend it?
Garth: Could be the kid has a point.
Hub: Well. We'll see what the man's sellin'. THEN we'll shoot him.
Garth: Good plan.

Hub's speech to a young hood (after he grudgingly accepts Garth's recommendation not to kill him):

I'm Hub McCann. I've fought in two World Wars and countless smaller ones on three continents. I led thousands of men into battle with everything from horses and swords to artillery and tanks. I've seen the headwaters of the Nile, and tribes of natives no white man had ever seen before. I've won and lost a dozen fortunes, killed many men and loved only one woman with a passion a flea like you could never begin to understand. That's who I am. Now, go home, boy!

Michael Cain plays Garth and Robert Duval is Hub.

Somewhere, at any hour of the day or night, there is a Michael Cain movie playing on TV.

I loved that movie. My daugter and I saw it together at a friend's house, and it touched us both deeply. I give it a 10!

I just read your excerpt and have no idea what it was trying to convey. A bunch of disjointed sentences that sound like they were written by somebody on acid.

What the heck?
