Sometimes wonders just happen, like finding a DVD of 'Captain Horatio Hornblower' in the only English bookshop in your city, and finding it only costs seven euros. Joy ( Read more... )

If that was a thinly veiled excuse to dust off the 1950!Bush icon, I am very happy about it. XD

PRETTY MUCH! XD

*brandishes 1950!Bush again*

I can't remember the name of the actor who played Bush! in the movie but I was endlessly amused by him.

Yeah. He was a good Bush. I mean, not hot or slashy like PMG, but definitely Bush-worthy.

Hooray for you! =D

I've been trying to get my hands on one for ages but Amazon doesn't have it anymore.

Wow, they only reissued it lately. Is it really that popular?

sarlania February 23 2009, 01:39:37 UTC

Apparantly so. *sighs* And I rarely buy from marketplace sellers unless it has a positive rating of above 98%.

Yay! Is that the DVD which has "Captain Hareblower" (Bugs Bunny cartoon) as a bonus?

thehappyreturn February 23 2009, 08:00:47 UTC

Yes! And a bizarre 1950s narrated history of the USA.

It's like they're saying: you thought the film wasn't politically correct? Try this! And then I watched the whole thing with my hands clapped over my mouth or my eyes. Sometimes both.

:D
