Kirk Douglas RIP 23:37 - Feb 5 with 1448 viewsfactual_blue

He is no longer Spartacus.


Name and RIP in the title. Moving and appropriate comment in the post.

This is the correct format for reporting deaths, as approved by Phil. Any other approach is disrespectful.

I will expect a fire engine as my hearse, and a pensive police officer - like this one - in attendance.

I don't feel even the merest, teeniest, tiniest resemblance to Spartacus compared to that legend of a bloke.

RIP. Cracking innings.

In my humble opinion 'Ace In The Hole' was his greatest film and illuminated how so much media works, even more true now than when it was made:

Should also be mentioned that he stood by his scriptwriter on 'Spartacus' during a Mccarthyite witch-hunt, a good if somewhat prickly man. RIP for sure.

You don't want much.

Maybe a horse in a ditch too?

An image of an office wire wastepaper basket?

If you're interested in this sort of stuff I recommend J Hoberman's books on Hollywood in the 60s and blacklisting - particularly the sections on Spartacus as an analogy about liberation.

You don't get this on Millwall's North Stand Banter
