Canada’s best Actor, Christopher Plummer. 91. I got to meet him briefly at the Stratford festival about 20 years ago, he was the gentlemen’s gentlemen. And had the most steel-grip handshake Id ever encountered. I fucking love this movie, and especially this scene:
If you want Cinderella stories, him beating a prime Ali for the title has to be one of the biggest upsets ever. He was also the most punchdrunk man on earth. His interviews were heartbreaking at times because he wore brain damage like it was a Halloween mask.

He did all of that. While being named Larry. It’s like being born jinxed, the man crushed it. His constant battle and humiliation of Jerry Falliwell will always put him higher in heaven than that fat fuck. And he outlived him and won again.

Remember how I picked Bam for this year? My stock is rising. Anybody else want in on this sure thing?
It's almost like being a dick and short-term fad has long term consequences. Everyone's fault but his own, of course.
