HBD to Kirk Douglass

[Tank]

He turned 100 on Friday. Starred in Spartacus, one of my favorite movies.

"I'm Spartacus!"

Man, I didn't think he was going to last too long after he had that stroke a few years back. He's one strong guy.

Anyhow, so tell us more about your love of gladiator movies.

Spartacus is one of the few Kubrick films I still need to catch up with.

 

 

As for Kirk Douglas. Tons of great movies. From big ones like Ace in the Hole and Paths of Glory, to others like Detective Story and I Walk Alone, pretty much enjoyed him in everything that I've seen him in.

when you watch it, make sure you post your comments here as i'm really interested in what you think of it.

I hope to make that sooner rather than later. I own it on Blu-Ray actually, so I have no real excuse why I haven't, just need to set aside 3+ hours to do it.

Yup, I was going to post a youtube clip with that, but I think I posted that too many times. On second thought, you can never post that clip too many times.

One of my favorite Kirk Douglas movies was the Final Countdown. Not a well known flick with Martin Sheem but I enjoyed it.

In Harm's Way is another classic one that doesn't get enough attention.

Since the topic includes Spartacus and Gladiator Movies..thought I'd throw out an Orange County trivia question here...who can identify this long time beach tavern owner? 

[IEAngelsfan]

He made a lot of good movies. Just to name a few....

• Detective Story
• 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea
• The Vikings
• Seven Days of May
• In Harm's Way
• A Letter to Three Wives

Harry "Turk" Varteresian..

Owned Turks in Dana Point Harbor until he died in 2000, his daughter Candy owns and runs it now. Before that he owned Turcs in Sunset Beach. Actor, muscle man, and body guard until he went into the bar/restaurant business.

One of the few bars on the coast of OC that still gives a decent pour.
