"Y aunque no tenemos ahora el vigor que antaño movía la tierra y los cielos, lo que somos, somos. Un espíritu ecuánime de corazones heroicos, debilitados por el tiempo y el destino, pero con una voluntad decidida a combatir, buscar, encontrar, y no ceder."
Tennynson, Ulises.
There may actually be people out there who don't love The Great Escape, but I haven't met any. The fictionalized account of the real-life Allied POW breakout from Stalag Luft III premiered in London on this day in 1963. Featuring Steve McQueen, James Garner, Richard Attenborough, Charles Bronson, James Coburn and Donald Pleasence, and propelled by Elmer Bernstein's iconic score, it remains one of the most beloved war films ever made.
'V', la serie que lograba dejar las calles desiertas. La historia de unos alienígenas reptiloides con intenciones hostiles y supremacistas que llegan a la Tierra disfrazados de agradables benefactores. Vamos, que cualquier parecido con la realidad política y social no es casual.
Does anybody have this? It's essentially a Rubix Cube that lets you generate millions of random dungeons. A buddy just gave it to me because he thought I'd get a kick out of it.
Pretty cool!
On This Day— Velvet Revolver’s “Set Me Free,” made its public debut as part of the “Hulk” soundtrack on June 17, 2003.
It was commercially released in June 2004 as the lead single from their debut album, “Contraband.”
This was Desmond Llewelyn's final appearance as Q after 17 Bond films spanning over 36 years.
The line, "I've always tried to teach you two things. First, never let them see you bleed. Second, always have an escape plan" was seen as Q's farewell to Bond and the audience.
No one expected this to be Desmond Llewelyn's final farewell to the legendary role, as he died in a car accident just weeks after the film's release.
From 1963 to 1999, Desmond Llewelyn served under five different James Bonds, becoming one of the most familiar faces of the 007 franchise.
