Guy Hamilton to his final resting place this year. My favourite Bond director. He also helmed the Remo Williams movie.
Bond and Destroyer are my two favourite book series and Guy took care of films for both.
Well done!
Rest in peace to a legend.
Muhammad Ali was is and will always be RIP .
RIP
I did not always agree with things he said and did, though I do not think it's an exaggeration to say that he was one of the greatest men that ever lived.
'Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.'
'A man who views the world the same at 50 as he did at 20 has wasted thirty years of his life.'
And one last one ........
'It's hard to be humble, when you're as great as I am.' :D
All from The Greatest, the late Muhammad Ali.
I have this framed...
:)
Wow I am jealous, such a iconic image.
"If your dreams don't scare you, they aren't big enough."
The Greatest indeed. Love the guy. An inspiration to me and many others. Not only was he a superb boxer who moved with incredible grace and speed inside the ring, but he was also a wonderful showman who knew how to captivate an audience outside of the squared circle too. A brave man who was not afraid to stand up for his beliefs and go against the grain. As much a poet as a fighter. A man who stood up for civil rights and his faith.
He faced his debilitating illness with dignity & courage. I respect him as much for that as for his early successes.
I recommend watching "When We Were Kings" or "Facing Ali" as a tribute to this great man, or even "The Trials of Muhammad Ali", which focuses on his exile after he was stripped of his title for refusing to fight in the Vietnam War due to his religious beliefs.
He was irreplaceable. One of a kind. At one time, certainly one of, if not the most famous person in the world.
RIP Champ.

Muhammad Ali was a guess speaker at some benefit in my hometown several years ago. Kountze, Texas was the first Texas town to elect a Muslim mayor. I forgot the name of the mayor but he happened to be acquaintances with Ali.

I must confess, to my great shame, that Amadeus is the only play I every watched of him, and only years after I saw the movie. Last February, actually, although I had read the play before.
I was never a big fan of the fight game. I always felt that along with Bullfighting it is a carryover from the Roman Coliseum but when Ali was in the game, I had fun watching him. He managed to take something ugly (depending on your opinion) and make it beautiful.
I need to read more of his plays.
