    One of the great movie stars of all time. And a man who put his money where his convictions were.

    I'm sure the guy putting the finishing touches on the Oscar In Memoriam segment is thrilled. Really enjoyed Seven Days in May.

    If you’ve never seen it, Champion is fantastic. It was his breakout role, and he turned down a bigger-budget picture because he believed the story of a sleaze-driven boxer was better. The big budget film flopped and he earned his first Oscar nod.

    I recently watched Paths of Glory for the first time, which was amazing and I have no real reason why I never watched it before.

    I did not know about his role in fighting the red scare in Hollywood until watching “Trumbo.”

    I am Kirk Douglas! No, I am Kirk Douglas! For the record, yesterday on the Showtime Western channel they played "Gunfight at the OK Corral"with Burt Lancaster as Wyatt Earp and Kirk as Doc Holliday. Pretty damn good. He didn't make many movies that were worse than pretty damn good. RIP. Last of the legends left except for Olivia deHavilland.

    If Barron and rush’s cancer are off limits, this lunatic’s accusation should be too
