Dagger in hand

A man of prodigious fortune, coming to add his opinion to some light discussion that was going on casually at his table, began precisely thus: "It can only be a liar or an ignoramus who will say otherwise than," and so on. Pursue that philosophical point, dagger in hand.

--Michel de Montaigne, Of the art of discussion.

An idle thought. I've peripherally followed some of the hoopla over Charlize Theron's new movie, Monster. It sounds worth seeing. It sounds like she put in a great peformance. I can't help but wonder, though. Would people be quite so awestruck with it if she looked like that (or closer to it) in real life?
