"Why were those people living in this defenseless place?" Cora Monroe
"The frontier is the only land available to poor people. Out here they're beholden to none, not living by another's leave." Hawkeye

Fits pretty nicely with Firefly, of course we all know the rim is the frontier and the Alliance is back east. That's not my point.

I'm just wondering how touching it would be if there was a Last of the Mudders, or Last of the Browncoats, or Last of the Something. A Last of the Mohicans story set in the 'verse. That'd be awesome.

That movie is my #2 most favorite movie of all time. It's sacred.

BUT... it has xero-resemblance to the original book. I've read "Last of the Mohicans" 2X and the movie is not based on the book. That text you quote isn't in the book. It comes direct from the movie. (in fact, there is no text from the book in the movie, period).

The movie was great, but it had nothing to do with the book.

Someone actually took classic literature, re-interpreted it, and improved upon it. Not to mention the soundtrack is fuckin awesome. Gawd I love celtic orchestras, Enya, and Daniel Day-Lewis with a tomahawk in his hand.

Good stuff!

PS ~ you must love the movie as I do... go read the book and then watch the movie again. It'll really bake your noodle. 2 complete opposites.

Am I Tory or am I patriot?

No such thing as gravity. The "Earth-that-was" just sucks.

I read the book years ago XG when I was in jr. high. Don't even remember it. So... I'll have to pick it up again at the library and see what I think.

The movie IS sacred, I know exactly what you mean by that. And Daniel Day-Lewis does a masterful job.

All I really know is I love the movie, haven't read the book. I want to get me one of them Cora Munroe's though. Smart, sexy, loyal, cool under pressure, strong willed.

Oh yeah.

You realise, of course, that you've just publicly pronounced yourself as an enemy of the crown?

Your marching orders: find all the loyalists you can, come hither to Valley Forge, and tuck away your wife and children with your relatives. The red-coats will burn you out.

The Revolution has begun. General Washington will be expecting you, musket in hand. Dress warm because the farmer's almanac predicts a long, cold winter.

You realise, of course, that you've just publicly pronounced yourself as an enemy of the Alliance?

Your marching orders: find all the browncoats you can, come hither to Serenity Valley, and tuck away your wife and children with your relatives. The Alliance will burn you out.

The War for Independance has begun. General (ok, you got me there) will be expecting you, assault rifle in hand. Dress warm because the farmer's almanac predicts a long, cold winter.

My absolutely second favorite movie I've seen in the theater..From the music as it's own character, the stunning photography, the storyline and the actors all top notch..Untill Serenity, LOTM was the movie I'd seen the most times......

Just face north and turn left, sudden like

Somehow I can't believe you've seen it the second most times of any movie.
The line is "Well we kinda face to the north and real sudden like, turn left."
