Say What? Elvis as the Bandit? Oh hell yeah! I would've loved to see that!Smokey and the Bandit - Road action/Comedy. Directorial debut of stuntman Hal Needman. Starring Elvis Presley, Dolly Parton, Jackie Gleeson, and Jerry Reed. A fun, lighthearted and action packed tale of two bootleggers trying to smuggle their beer from Texas to Atlanta in 28 hours or less, this film started its life as a low-budget B movie and passion project for country musician Jerry Reed. After Presley, then one of the top box office draws in the world and a close friend of Reed's, read the script, he brought the production value up considerably. Its theme song, “Eastbound and Down” would be written and released by Reed, becoming his biggest hit and signature song. The film was a major box office smash, being beaten only by the gargantuan Star Wars for highest grossing film of ‘77.
If anyone can do it, It will be himOoooh Hu Yaobang.... hopefully he gets in the reformers and pro-democrats with him to democratize China. It will be hard, as there will be the conservative forces of Deng.
Another unfortunate victim of the butterfly effect, it’s a shame, I wonder who he was, better look him up on Wikipedia-December 13th - While on tour in the Midwest to promote his recent album Cat Scratch Fever, “the Motor City Madman” Ted Nugent is killed instantly when his tour bus careens off the road during a snowstorm near Sandusky, Ohio. The rock world mourns the loss of a talented guitar player and songwriter. Tragically enough, it was his 29th birthday.
RIP Ted Nugent
(December 13th, 1948 - December 13th, 1977)
Or did Scotland winning the World Cup mean Celtic and Rangers are doing better in the European Cup?
Given how during the late 60's and early 70's when they were getting into the last four and sometimes finals of European competitions in OTL, it's not that far fetched to think of that they all could've gone one step further if the WC win really boosted them. For example, I could see Rangers winning the European Cup in 1976 at Hampden Park against Bayern Munich thanks to the 'home' advantage.
Wouldn't that be such a crying shame.A little bothered donner isn’t doing Superman. We may not get Geoff Johns unless he contact Spielberg instead
Jackie Gleason reportedly modelled his character, Sheriff Buford T. Justice, after Burt Reynolds' description of his father, a Florida police officer and Chief of Police. Among the character traits that came from this was the use of "sumbitch", a colloquial pronunciation of "son of a bitch".
In a way. Johns isn’t that bad a writer and he does have a lot of good ideas (I rather liked the light spectrum and felt doomsday clock was surprisingly worthy as a watchmen sequel)Wouldn't that be such a crying shame.
No Rescuers?June 22nd - Walt Disney Productions release Scruffy, an adaptation of Paul Gallico’s novel which centered on the barbary macaques of Gibraltar, with their honorary leader, called Scruffy (and voiced by Bob Newhart). The apes live happy and free, until they are threatened by Nazi Germany, who attempt to take Gibraltar from the British Empire during World War II. Ultimately a heartwarming, family friendly take on surviving Axis persecution, Scruffy would be a modest success for the company and encourage Disney to return more full time to making full-length animated pictures.
