Willoooooowwww

Watching Willow has become a sort of Thanksgiving tradition in my family, which is either incredibly nerdy or totally awesome depending on your point of view. Ron Howard, George Lucas, a pre-flab Val Kilmer, fairies, hobbits, an evil queen, drunken brownies, sorcery, an unlikely love story and good prevailing over evil?...
I'm gonna go with totally awesome, thanks.

P.S. Val Kilmer married his on-screen love interest Sorsha ( Joanne Whalley) in real life and had 2 kids with her. He is also a Christian Scientist, which is pretty weird. I pass on this random trivia for your next cocktail party courtesy of pop guru Chuck Klosterman's IV: A Decade of Curious People and Dangerous Ideas, an awesome read. As this book is a collection of Klosterman's work for different periodicals, you can read the Val Kilmer chapter on Esquire.com.
