re: Heat 2 Cast Taking Shape

Maybe he will play the Kilmer part post original Heat.
Holyfield said Foreman hit him harder than anyone else. He asked his corner men if his teeth were knocked out.
From Russia with Love is my favorite Bond film and Daniela Bianchi is my favorite Bond girl. Just a really good move with a great supporting cast including Robert Shaw, Pedro Armendariz and Lotte Lenya.

OHMSS is excellent also but Connery is better than Lazenby.
Moorer took a dive......yes, AFTER big George punched him. Lights out.

Working six or seven days a week on hot roofs under a blazing sun finally got to them.
I enjoy going to them. Occasionally I find a firearm at a fair price, like the mint 29-2 recently, or the Smith & Wesson 586 my friend snagged at a great price from a guy wandering around with it for sale.

If you enjoy looking at firearms you can have a good time and if you are looking to buy used you can handle and inspect them in person.

M1 Garands always seem to be overpriced. New firearms you can probably find cheaper somewhere on the internet but if there is only a $50 difference it might be worth it to buy in person and know exactly what you are buying. I just cruise right past the jerky, etc.

Also, firearms from 7 or 8 decades ago, like revolvers, are worth several times the original cost. Check out the finish and craftsmanship on a 60's or 70's Colt or Smith revolver. There is a reason they fetch a premium price.

I usually don't see many premium 1911s, like Wilson, Baer, Alchemy, etc. but there will be Colts and Rugers, etc.
The Golden State Killer (Joseph James DeAngelo) would bound victims with ligatures (often shoelaces) then stack dishes on the man's back and threaten to kill everyone if he heard them rattle. Damn, son.

I'll be Gone in the Dark is an excellent true crime book about him.
Some of the videos I saw had visitors amazed at bank drive throughs and also yellow school buses. They thought the buses were a myth, lol.

Robert Urich played Jake Spoon very well. It kind of gets overlooked because of Duvall and Jones.
So many good to great movies. Of course everyone will have a different list. However, the Hollywood Reporter list is terrible, lol.

E.T. is a joke at number one for most, including me. It wouldn't make my top 10. SPR at 21, Raiders at 14, lol.

I have to go with Jaws as number one. Some other favorites are SPR, Munich, Schindler's List, Raiders, Catch me if you can and Jurassic Park, no order.
Bud says boxing is the hardest sport to master. Let's see if he can master NFL quarterback.. apparently he thinks that would be easier to master than boxing. I say they are all incredibly difficult and it depends on the particular skills each man possesses.
Yes. But let's see Crawford play in the NFL, NBA, PGA, etc.
I agree. However, think about getting in the ring with Bud Crawford....not only would you be embarrassed, you would be beat up.

I don't think any particular sport can be considered the hardest to master. They are all difficult and greatly dependent on the person trying to master them.

Boxing requires so much physicality, toughness, power or foot speed, hand speed, endurance, etc. But how many men can play NFL quarterback at a high level? Not even 32. All sports are extremely difficult to master, that is why those who do make millions.
I watched the first two episodes and enjoyed them. I need to catch up on the next ones that have dropped.

The Welcome Bonnie and Clyde pic, Warren Beatty, Estelle Parsons and Michael J. Pollard. I don't know who the man on the left is or the woman between Beatty and Pollard. Maybe the Holiday Inn owners?
Whoa, I love Chinatown. Yours is an unusual take for sure.
John Wayne sucked?

Have you watched (with an open mind) The Searchers, or The Man who shot Libert Valance?

These were great movies and one of the reasons is because John Wayne was great in them.
