Wow. Such great pictures. The thing that stuck me is their simplicity. No over-production, just hardly staged snapshots. I especially like the Bible presentation one because it has these mere mortal men meeting upon the level and by the square with a venerable living idol of their time. Powerful testament to the equality of our most noble fraternity!
man i must have done someting bad. i have had this picture in mystudy for about 5 years and didnt pay a dime.
Our nation today is in dire need of another Duke.
Indeed.
"Russia, Germany, Romania - they can have all the Democracy they want. They can have a big democracy cake-walk right through the middle of Tiananmen square and it won't make a lick of difference because we've got the bombs, okay?! John Wayne's not dead - he's frozen. And as soon as we find the cure for cancer we're gonna thaw out the duke and he's gonna be pretty p*ssed off. You know why? Have you ever taken a cold shower? Well multiple that by 15-million times, that's how p*ssed off the Duke's gonna be. I'm gonna get the Duke and John Cassavetes...
