Don't dis hillbillies friend, we carry double-barreled shotguns. That's the one good thing that did come out of this movie, it has cured me of my compulsion to read the book. I now know it's a waste of time, and I thank Ron Howard for saving me a number of hours of my life, but not for anything else.
