What's up with the Hack job?

The first written appearance of the proverb "revenge is a dish best served cold" is often credited to the 18th century novel Les liaisons dangereuses, but since it doesn't actually appear in the original French language text, the validity of this attribution is unclear. The English version of this phrase in that exact wording can be attributed to The Godfather by Mario Puzo, a major bestseller in 1969. However, the phrase appeared in the 1949 film Kind Hearts and Coronets as "revenge is a dish which people of taste prefer to eat cold"[2]. The more well-known wording of this quote is also featured in the title sequence of the Quentin Tarantino film Kill Bill: Vol 1, accredited as an "Old Klingon Proverb", referencing the phrase's usage in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, where it is similarly cited as such. It means that to be successful, revenge should be a considered and planned response enacted when the time is right, rather than a hasty and 'hot-blooded' action which will increase the chances of failure.

Huh?  You must not be from 'round here.  Speak Ainglish!

Holy Smokes Batman, Thank You Haz! I missed the French text,... sorry,... Mario put it in the book but not the film,.

and Kill Bill was well a "different" type of film, although the five finger death punch was a new one.

Ricardo Montalban did it the most justice even if he didn't have Tatoo.

Come on Haz. Did I really deserve all this for a simple smart a$$ comment?

The sad part is that I've heard of, read, or seen all of them except "Kind hearts and Coronets"(Les Liaisons Dangereuses was the basis for the movie Dangerous Liaisons back in the 90's )

Going in a circle can be fun!  Nascar does it.

Just because your source doesn't have both oars in the water, doesn't mean he's wrong.
Crazy doesn't mean stupid
