And the winner is......

Ethan..... for Understatement of the Year. If you have spent any time at all at home with the kid you will know that the T.V. is an excellent occupier and entainer of youngins. So, this morning I needed about 1.5 hours of Ethan-free time. In goes a movie.
If you have seen the movie "The Legend of Zorro" (which is the 2nd one), you'll know the big train scene at the end. After about 20 minutes of well correographed(?) sword fighting on a racing train, Zorro finally pins his opponant to the front of the train and jumps to safety mere seconds before the raging locomotive plows into the stone barracade placed to indicate the end of the track. The last image of the man strapped to the grill is his screaming face just before impact, large boulders flying everywhere. The train then tumbles uncontrollably across the rough terrain, buckelling with the monentum of the speed under which it was travelling. Dust and rocks clouded the scene but before long, the nitro-glycerin that was being transported on board exploded, all 7 cars blowing up in sequence until all is left is a mangled, firey mess. It was quite a magnificant crash after which Ethan (who probably shouldn't have been watching it in the first place) looked up at me and said:

"That would hurt."

A well-deserved "Understatement of the Year" award, don't you think?
