Povetkin - Wach official Nov 4

That backlash was ridiculous as is most PC backlashes, Black people would be enraged if a white guy played Macolm X or MLK, or even Luke Cage and Black Panther, its not too much to ask that Bond stay a white Brit is it.:-(

 

Been so long since I've seen any of the Bond films. Think I've only seen one of Craig's, too far back to remember Lazenby, didn't pay much attention to the ones Dalton was in (recall thinking he was a decent Bond though), and Brosnon was good. Connery and Moore are the ones I grew up watching though and Connery was Bond for me.

BTW, I accidentally stumbled across this site earlier when I was trying to find that Lee Marvin quote about Roger Moore. It's a Charles Bronson forum lol.

Someone posted this in one of the threads on it

''Charles bronson came into my butchers shop in Beccles once
And bought some ham
Curiosly Lee marvin was nowhere to be seen
Don't know if this is significant''

And this

There's the story of director Raoul Walsh telling Marvin and Neville Brand to really go at it with Leo Gordon on "Gun Fury". Gordon responded by knocking those two tough guys around for real. William Smith said that Marvin and Brand were both tough guys but when they were drinking they couldn't fight their way out of a paper bag. Smith and stuntman Roy Jenson used to bail Neville and Lee out of a lot of fights in a Pacific Coast Highway bike bar near Malibu. Doubtful Lee and Neville were drunk on set though when Leo Gordon knocked them around. Sober, both were known to be very tough guys.

Remember reading in one of the Marvin bios that he was making a TV show with Sam Peckinpah and got into a fight with Sam. Marvin was slamming Peckinpah against a wall when others pulled him off him. That was Peckinpah though. He used to like to bait people (especially tough guys) to find out who he could manipulate. Word was he later offered the William Holden part in "The Wild Bunch" to Marvin, who turned it down to make "Paint Your Wagon" instead.

Also remember reading somewhere that Marvin got into a fight with Roger Moore, who Marvin thought was a sissy. When Moore landed a solid punch on Marvin, Lee lightened up and the two became good friends. Heard that story attributed to the making of "Shout at the Devil" or as far back as the 1950's when Moore first got to Hollywood.

There's another story of Marvin and John Wayne wrecking a motel room after a night of drink in I believe Bisbee, Arizona. Don't know if the fight got serious or if the two were just partaking in macho horseplay (perhaps rehearsing for "Donovan's Reef"). Anyway, the motel used to advertise that this is the room where Lee Marvin and John Wayne got into a fight and broke the window. Marvin and Wayne were said to be pretty good friends and drinking buddies in real life.

That's why I threw in Luke Cage and Black Panther.:deal

No one but 40 year old British white guys can play Bond. There should be a clause.

Just like no white guys should be allowed to play Luther.

 

I love Charles Bronson a very underrated movie is his is 10 to Midnight it has a crazy naked guy playing a serial killer.

I love reading old Hollywood gossip I find all that stuff fascinating as hell, I've read Hollywood Babylon 1 and 2, and yes I am straight.:yep

 

I don't know....leave me alone.atsch

 

Sure why not. Maybe later.

 

I love his stuff with Cannon films, even Murphy's Law is great. I'm thinking if I do do a thread it'll be old crusty badass action stars in general, that way I could drag it out longer.
