John Wayne is always fun to mock the hell out of, especially while drinking, and watching The Quiet Man (1952) is no exception. John Wayne plays an American who came from a small Irish village and is returning to purchase his childhood home. He suffers from love at first site with a red-headed irish woman named Mary Kate, who has a doucebag older brother who doesn't approve of their relationship.
This being one of John Wayne's first movies, his eccentric mannerisms are even more hysterical than in his later films. Portraying the Irish’ true love of booze and fighting to solve problems, which should be mandatory in most cultures. Plus the accents are completely badass and hot on the chick in the film (you thought so too, don't lie). A must watch if you want to understand the culture and the worlds view of it.
Now to leave you with a song that pretty much describes my current state of mind with a lit Salem in hand, a pina colada to the left of my monitor, a can of cheap beer to the right, and a bottle of Jameson and Bailey’s on my back porch waiting for me after I post this:
Grog = amazing!
