John Wayne's "Alamo" was on television tonight on TCM. The host explained the movie was John Wayne's baby. That Wayne wanted to make the movie because he thought Americans had forgotten how hard fought our freedom was.

John Wayne's "Alamo" has been described as a "labor of love", and it got 7 Oscar nominations. It's possible this new Alamo is going to be Eisner's swan song.

"Republic. I like the sound of the word.
It means people can live free, talk free,
go or come, buy or sell, be drunk or sober, however they choose.
Some words give you a feeling. Republic is one of those words that makes me tight in the throat.

"The same tightness a man gets when his baby takes his first step, or his first baby shaves, and makes his first sound like a man.

"Some words can give you a feeling that make your heart warm. Republic is one of those words." - John Wayne, 'THE ALAMO'

I haven't seen it in years (Waynes version). I will have to give it another look.
