He has one of the best lines in the movie, one that resonates with me more and more each year I climb the ivory tower of academia:The book doesn't have Nick Nolte, therefore is worse.Then you would probably love Malick's Thin Red Line. (I really like the film, not as good as the book, but it is what it is)
I've worked, slaved, eaten untold buckets of **** to have this opportunity and I don't intend to give it up now.

I always liked Barbara Bush. She always struck me as a blunt and down-to-earth person with a self-deprecating sense of humor—not "fake" in a world (the political realm) where everyone often seems to be acting. It was obvious that she and her husband shared a warm and loving relationship. RIP.

That marriage was about as strong and lasting as they come. I agree, her husband will be following her. Considering the health problems he's had, I wonder if he was hanging on for her the last few years.Really liked her and George’s relationship.https://t.co/c6JU0xy6VcStatement by the Office of @GeorgeHWBush on the passing of Barbara Pierce Bush this evening at the age of 92.

Pro Wrestling Mag just reported it as well. 82.
RIP
If 82 surprised you, I'm curious how long you plan to live?
RIP
Harpo has always been my favorite.Even though the movie established that "LOVE" is a true German virtue? (and it was said straights into the faces of all those stupid Italians)I've never seen that film in its entirety for some reason.
(scene starts at 4:45)

RIP
Born in Italy in 1935, Bruno was the youngest of seven siblings. In 1939, whilst his father was working in America in order to feed his family, the second world war broke out, and all borders were closed. Bruno’s father was left stranded in the US, whilst his mother had to care for their seven children alone with no income.
After the Nazis invaded and occupied their village, the Sammartino family were forced to live in secrecy on the Valla Rocca mountain. Once a week, Bruno’s mother would make the 24 hour long journey down the mountain back to the village. As the soldiers that now lived in their former home slept, Bruno’s mother would break into the family’s basement, and take as many supplies as possible that they had built-up over the years. She would then make the return 24 hour journey all the way back up, hoping that her children had survived the full two days without her.
On one of these life-saving missions, Bruno’s mother was captured by the Nazis, and barely made it out alive – the entire family was even once lined-up in front of a German firing squad, before being rescued only seconds from death. During the war, Bruno had to watch four of his siblings die, whilst simultaneously battling a serious bout of scarlet fever himself. When the war was over, Bruno was examined by doctors, and given just days to live. Somehow, Bruno made a miraculous recovery, lasting another 70+ years.
All of these events happened before Bruno’s tenth birthday.
After moving to America and reuniting with his father in 1950, Bruno would go on to completely change his physique, wrestle with a real life orang-utan, sell out Madison Square Garden 187 times, set weightlifting records, and become the longest reigning champion in WWE history.
