We cannot overturn the whole scheme to accomodate the buzzard.

The Adventures of Mark Twain - 6/10. I can't tell if Mark Twain just reads better than is spoken or if the tone of the movie is just all wrong. Things sound more flippant and throw-away here than they do on the page. I would've liked for the stories that intermixed the main story to have said more about Twain and who he was and why he's doing what he's doing, and they do to an extent, but not enough to matter. As it is, it's Willy Wonka-like in that it's a thrown-together story that's just an excuse to have a bunch of really great lines said together, but it lacks the fun and imagination of that movie.
