In Alien, Sigourney Weaver said she was criticized for this scene.

“People have said, ‘Aw, how could you demean yourself by doing this?’ And I say, ‘Are you kidding? After five days of blood and guts, sweat and urine, do you think Ripley wouldn’t take off her clothes?’

Today we remember Captain Robert Laurence Nairac GC, murdered by the Provisional IRA on 15th May 1977. Captain Nairac was a British Army officer in the Grenadier Guards. On his fourth tour of duty in Northern Ireland, serving as a Military Intelligence Liaison Officer at Headquarters 3 Infantry Brigade, he was abducted while on an undercover operation from The Three Steps pub in Dromintee, South Armagh, on the night of 14th May 1977.

On 13 February 1979, Nairac was posthumously awarded the George Cross. The citation, as reproduced in The London Gazette, read:

"Captain Nairac served for four tours of duty in Northern Ireland totalling twenty-eight months. During the whole of this time he made an outstanding personal contribution: his quick analytical brain, resourcefulness, physical stamina and above all his courage and dedication inspired admiration in everyone who knew him.

On his fourth tour Captain Nairac was a Liaison Officer at Headquarters 3 Infantry Brigade. His task was connected with surveillance operations.

On the night of 14/15 May 1977 Captain Nairac was abducted from a village in South Armagh by at least seven men. Despite his fierce resistance he was overpowered and taken across the border into the nearby Republic of Ireland where he was subjected to a succession of exceptionally savage assaults in an attempt to extract information which would have put other lives and future operations at serious risk. These efforts to break Captain Nairac's will failed entirely. Weakened as he was in strength—though not in spirit—by the brutality, he yet made repeated and spirited attempts to escape, but on each occasion was eventually overpowered by the weight of numbers against him. After several hours in the hands of his captors, Captain Nairac was callously murdered by a gunman of the Provisional Irish Republican Army who had been summoned to the scene. His assassin subsequently said "He never told us anything".

Captain Nairac's exceptional courage and acts of the greatest heroism in circumstances of extreme peril showed devotion to duty and personal courage second to none."

Nearly five decades later, his remains have still never been recovered, denying his family the dignity of a proper burial. After 49 years, it is time to bring closure to Captain Nairac’s family and to honour his service with the dignity he deserves.

Conan the Barbarian, 44 today, set a monumental benchmark for "sword and sorcery" films. Brutal, bloody, massive in scope, and powered by a magnificent Poledouris score. Arnie and Sandahl Bergman were somehow sexy while decapitating people, and James Earl Jones was incredible

Many films have great endings. But The Last of the Mohicans is the kind of movie where the final scene almost surpasses the entire film itself.
The last 15 minutes are pure cinema: music, silence, mountains, sacrifice, and tragedy unfolding with barely any dialogue. The “Promentory” score pushes every emotion to its limit.

It feels like more than just the end of a few characters — it feels like the end of an entire world.

A beautiful, heartbreaking, and haunting ending that stays with you long after the movie is over.

You have to feel for Yomif Kejelcha.

One of the sport's great "nearly" men on the track.

Two World Championship silvers in the 10,000 meters.

Always pushing the pace in Diamond Leagues, chasing fast times.

He debuts in 1:59:41, well under the marathon WR.

And finishes 2nd.

I have been practicing TATE since I was 8 years old.
I truly love it from the bottom of my heart.

I sincerely want to share the beauty and power of TATE with people all over the world.

Thank you so much for always supporting me.

He didn't just honor his mom-he inspired everyone watching.

And even Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson showed up to celebrate him.

This is Kyudo (弓道), our ancient Japanese tradition passed down from samurai times for over 2000 years.

In this modern age, seeing Japanese people preserve this pure samurai spirit makes us proud. Protect our traditions. 🎌
