Tom Cruise and John Travolta in a remake of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid?

Cruise and Travolta are neither butch nor sunny.  Discuss.

I've always said I'd love a gay Butch & Sundance movie but never in my wildest dreams would I have imagined Cruise and Travolta in the roles. This is just so wrong on so many levels.

Travolta's too fat for either role.

You can say that again, Leslie.  Those were my exact thoughts.  "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" was my first obsession, and I think they were my first avatar here - along with that great line:  "Who are those guys?"  I went to the local theater and saw it every weekend until its run ended - the first and only time I've ever done that.  I had the soundtrack album ("Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head" was actually the worst song on the album - the rest of the instrumental score was beautiful), and a book with the screenplay.  And, yes, I had Newman and Redord posters.  The only ones I ever had - those teeny bopper guys never did it for me! LOL.  I loved everything about the movie - except Etta.  I was still a pre-teen, but I knew even then that she didn't belong with Sundance - he already had Butch!   ;)

Dang that whet my appetite for seeing that again.  I'd forgotten how very beautiful they were in it.

OMG - I can't believe I've never seen this before.  The perfect melding of my two obsessions - and two of my favorite movies ever.  Yes, so beautiful.  Thank you, Paul!   :)
