Who Else Was Gutted To Hear That Kirk Douglas Had Passed Away?
I used to love watching his movies as a kid. Burt Lancaster was my real hero (anybody ever see The Crimson Pirate?) but Kirk was right up there. I remember he and Burt used to do a lot of stuff together, including one of my favourite ever westerns, Gunfight At The OK Coral.
There was an interview on the BBC I was reading earlier, and according to Kirk, perhaps his greatest achievement was breaking the so-called Hollywood blacklist, whereby, as part of the Red Scare, people in Hollywood who had been proven (or often just accused) of sympathising with communism, were excommunicated from the industry.
Kirk was great but Burt was better. The Crimson Pirate, Vera-Cruz, O.K Coral and Valdez is Coming were a few of the best westerns ever made. Lancaster brought the bar fight scene with Ernest Borgnine in 'From Here to Eternity' almost to life.
Like Burt, Kirk was a natural athlete and I'll always remember him leaping along the row of oars protruding from the long boat in The Vikings. Vaulting into his horse in The War wagon was further evidence of his athletic prowess.
R.I.P., Kirk. When they made you they threw the mould away.
I'm with you on that. Kirk was one of the greats, but Burt was one of my favorites. My favorite movie of his was Elmer Gantry. He played an evangelical/revivalist and I thought he was masterful in that role.
I saw the Crimson Pirate as a child in The Willowfield Cinema (known locally as the Winky) where the admission fee for children was four clean jam jars.
Whoever paid in then went and burst open the emergency doors when all your friends ran in and scattered.
Of course a few were caught, but most got to see the movie.
Yes, there were the 'good old, bad old days.
In the opening scene of this movie when Burt swung onto the top of the mainsail with the intro, to the film I thought he was talking to me personally.
I demand that you explain what is "scientific" about labeling a different race from the Hebrews with the name of a religion that came from the Hebrews and conflating the religion with the race that isn't even a race that you genetically are, and then calling yourself that religion/race while being an atheist.

Hello hater:
Fuck you and your demands.. However, for the sake of truth, I'll respond to your nonsense once again.
1) DNA is science.. I dunno why that's so. It just is. Some people believe it. Some people deny it.. Can't do nothing about that.
2) I'm a Jew because the authority on the matter, the Talmud, says that I am. That a Jew hater like you says I'm not, is stupid, stupid, stupid.
3) The Jews are a race. How can you doubt it when you SEE it in our faces?? Presbyterians don't look alike.. Catholics don't look alike. Jews look alike. Only races of people look alike.
4) We've been Jews for 6,000 years, and I'm, scientifically speaking, a 97% Pure blooded Jew.. The only pure blooded thing you are is 97% HATER.
5) I'd stop reading that antisemitic shit if I was you.. It's rotting your brain..
What adults do is admit when they have just had their arguments destroyed, not ignore the rebuttal and find something miscellaneous to use as an excuse to make adhoms. The fact of the matter excon, is that you are a worthless retard.
Rep. Betty McCollum, a Minnesota Democrat, then added that Trump and Netanyahu were “afraid” of letting Tlaib and Omar “witness first-hand the brutality & dehumanization Israel’s occupation inflicts on the Palestinian people.”
You Dumb Ass your party has showed it supports Muslims.
You Dumb Ass your party has showed it supports Muslimsims.
Hello poochy boy:
It's nuts, really, when right wingers suggest that NOT loving right wing Israeli president Netanyahu, is tantamount to NOT loving Israel.. Truly, it's nuts..
Contrary to your party, mine is the CONSTITUTION party.. Consequently, we BELIEVE in the FREEDOM to practice whatever religion one chooses to practice...
I thought right wingers loved the Constitution.. No, huh?
How about you shut your face? This ridiculous "Israel and Judaism are the same thing" fallacy is one of the most persistent and annoying pieces of bullshit ever to infest your political system. Judaism is an ancient monotheistic religion. Israel is an apartheid state, run by a brutal dictator and his far right wing crooks who seem to have taken many lessons from the Nazis. Does that reduce your confusion on the matter?
The Palestinian people are all Semites. I support their struggle against a totalitarian regime of European colonists who are -- for the most part -- not Semites. Does that reduce your confusion about which of us is the anti-Semite?
You Dumb Ass your party has showed it supports Muslims.
Those "Muslims" are all Semites. Netanyahu and his cronies are not Semites. But in your upside down world, criticising Netanyahu's brutal treatment of those Palestinian Muslims is what makes somebody an anti-Semite!!! Quite frankly, your level of stupidity tonight has angered me. Ordinarily I just put it down to the fact that you're a troll, but your statements here are offensively stupid -- and I'm talking about offensively stupid to Jews, let alone anybody else.
Cool buddy. But I noticed you haven't mentioned that the Torah (and by extension the Christian Bible) says it's fine to kill and/or rape people as long as they aren't Jewish. Any reason why you ignore everything bad in the Torah and/or The Bible and only attack the Koran?
Oh wait, you can't answer that because I seem to have accidentally banned you. My bad. I guess that's what you get for being unable to keep your filthy Nazi politics out of a debate paying respects to a world class actor.
Dummy what is rotting your brain is that you are a Jew Democrat and you support the Party of Anti-Semites that do not support you and your ignorance is exposed by your party of choice.
Your DNA is not semitic, your DNA is primarlilyilary european and polish.
I'm a Jew because the authority on the matter, the Talmud,
The Talmud was written before DNA was discovered.
The Jews are a race.
The Hebrews were a race, and even they were arguably not a race because what distinguishes them from other semitic races is largely ambiguous. You are Polish and Judaism is a religion, not a race.
The only pure blooded thing you are is 97% HATER.
97% isn't pure, because it's 3% something else.
I'd stop reading that antisemitic shit if I was you.. It's rotting your brain..
My brain isn't rotting though, and if it was it wouldn't be because of something I'm not even reading in the first place.
