I can't wait for his biopic.

His father was up there with Robert Altman as an independent director.

He was in "Weird Science" as a bully when he was 19. Kept getting movie roles even when he was being arrested on a weekly basis. Turned his life around and got sober.

Be interesting to see if they can find an actor to play him.

Putney Swope, directed by Robert Downey Sr.

Sorcerer. Remake of "Wages Of Fear." Four desperate men have to drive two trucks full of unstable dynamite across the jungle.

You didn't challenge anyone to improve themselves. You tried to impose your ideas on other people. There's a difference.

Cheers.

it could not have happened and would not have happened, for essentially economic reasons.

The interesting alternative histories are ones that turn on a single fortuitous event.

You said it couldn't happen, then said that there are ways it could have happened.

Also, if you don't want to be part of the discussion, you are free to stay out. other people are participating and enjoying themselves.

You are contradicting yourself.

Hitler left orders not to be awakened so he slept in on D-Day. Rommel had left his post. Think that wouldn't have changed things?

Stalin had dozens of warnings that Hitler planned to invade. What if he'd taken even one seriously?

What if Hitler had let the Army get the glory at Dunkirk and steamrolled the troops on the beach?

I can think of dozens of times the course of the War changed by the actions of one person.

I take it as a personal affront that there are grown adults who are ignorant of their own cultural heritage.

It's one of those things that sound reasonable until you actually spend a minute thinking about the details.

Minting money. Starting a post office. Borders. People who work out of state.

At about the same time, it was common to have White people play Asians on TV.

I think that first wife Ivana dressed him until he dumped her.

It doesn't matter, because what I enjoyed might sound terrible to you.

Like I said, two different jobs will have a similar skill set, and the book gives you a long list of all types of jobs. It even breaks them down by how much education you need.
