Kirk Douglas, 101
Dec 10th, 2017 at 2:31pm
 
Happy 101st birthday, Kirk Douglas!

A living legend, born December 09, 1916.

First movie in 1946. I liked him in just about everything I saw of him. The boxing movie Champion was good.

"He enlisted in the United States Navy in 1941, shortly after the United States entered World War II, where he served as a communications officer in anti-submarine warfare. He was medically discharged for war injuries in 1944." Wiki

Know the enemies of a civil society by their public behaviour, by their fraudulent claim to be liberal-progressive, by their propensity to lie and, above all, by their attachment to authoritarianism.

Yeah, I liked Kirk's movies. He was great as Vincent van Gogh in Lust for Life, and also in Paths of Glory. Like many leading men of his era, he played roles in Westerns, the style of which just doesn't cut it for me. They are too trite. But Kirk worked with what they gave him.

If that were true, we would not be discussing his career.

All Jews in Hollywood.
All Jews in Science, NASA, Astronomy.
All Jews in Politics.
All Jews in Media.
...USA is ruled by Jews - all of them (Jews).
Down through the years - they were all Jews.
Jews telling how great all the other Jews were.

Much like Keith Richards, Kirk Douglas draws his strength when another movie celebrity dies. It's called the "Highlander effect". Year 2016 gave Douglas enough victims to allow him to live until he is 120 years old.
