    Man, I don’t normally get choked up about celebrities but some of Val Kilmer’s movies got me through a pretty dark time in the late 90s. I was 8 when Willow came out, we wore that VHS out. In 2000 I lived in the boonies taking care of an indoor broccoli growing operation in Colorado. The only thing I had was 20 or so books, a box of VHS tapes, and a 13" TV VCR combo. I must have watched Tombstone and The Saint 10000 times.

    I am still friends with the guy who worked with me and anytime he asks me what happened to or where is so and so I 100% answer with “He ran off to live in the forest, in the nude.”
