Legends of the Fall was on again last night. Now, I don’t know if you’ve seen this movie, but I’d venture to guess that if you’ve seen even one movie, you’ve probably seen this one, since it came out during perhaps the peak of Brad Pitt (pre-Angie) hysteria, in 1994, when I was but an elderly high-school senior and Brad had yet to get serious with Gwynnie.
It’s on pretty regularly on channels like TBS and TNT. And it stars other rather famous people, like Aiden Quinn and Anthony Hopkins and the ill-fated Julia Ormond, whom I once saw shopping for hats at Barney’s and who is now starring in Lifetime movies.

Anyway, I’m not so middle-aged that I have to cry at that. Yet.
