I've wanted to love The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly. I've tried to like it. I might even like it, but I couldn't tell you.

Every single time I've ever tried to watch it, I've fallen asleep well before the end. I bet I've sat down to watch it a dozen times, and I've never made it 1/3 of the way through.
"A strict observance of the written laws is doubtless one of the high duties of a good citizen, but it is not the highest. The laws of necessity, of self-preservation, of saving our country when in danger, are of higher obligation. To lose our country by a scrupulous adherence to written law, would be to lose the law itself, with life, liberty, property and all those who are enjoying them with us; thus absurdly sacrificing the end to the means."

You see, in this world there's two kinds of people, my friend: Those with loaded guns and those who dig. You dig.
