" Watched March 6th - TCM - Rewatch "Now and then for no good reason a man can figure out, life will just hall off and knock him flat, slam him against the ground so hard it seems like all his insides are busted - but it's not all like that, a lot of it is mighty fine, and you can't waste the good part fretting about the bad - that makes it all bad." - Jim Coates I think it had been decades since I've watched Old Yeller, mostly on account of the ending - does anybody really want to go through"

"The film offers a really important lesson, that it hammers you over the head with, at the end of the movie. Never get too emotionally attached, to your pet dog. Just in case. Or as Phoebe, from the show Friends puts it best.... "OK, what kind of sick doggy snuff film is this?""
