Shane!

I met Devo for the last 15 minutes of Shane tonight at movie-in-the-park. I love westerns and I've heard a lot about Shane over the years. One of my favorite books Zeroville has an extended scene where the main character discusses with a burglar if at the end of the film when Shane rides off he's going to die or not. After all the hype I wasn't stunned with the climactic shoot out with a young and dashing Jack Palance but the dialogue and the gravitas of the cowboys gave me gooseflesh.

I've never seen a movie-in-the-park before, I don't know why. It's a nice way to spend an evening- a cool lake breeze, fresh grass, and a shining crescent moon.
