We did until a few days ago. Hope he hasn't died on us.

That's who I thought this thread was about. Fortunately for him, it isn't.

"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.

I have the first 125 or so books of the Destroyer series and even though it wasn’t cannon, really enjoyed Remo Williams: The Adventure Begins. I’ve long thought that with modern CGI that more movies or even a TV series could be awesome.

I read the thread title the same.
Thankfully our Fredward is all good I saw him yesterday.

"I've spoken of the shining city all my political life, but I don't know if I ever quite communicated what I saw when I said it. But in my mind it was a tall proud city built on rocks stronger than oceans, wind-swept, God-blessed, and teeming with people of all kinds living in harmony and peace, a city with free ports that hummed with commerce and creativity, and if there had to be city walls, the walls had doors and the doors were open to anyone with the will and the heart to get here." -- Ronald Reagan, Farewell Address, Jan. 11, 1989

As in Remo Williams, the Korean Master trained assassin? Unfortunately, the movie fell flat. I was so looking forward to sequels having read just about all the paperback volumes.

I think the title was the Destroyer series unless I'm mixing that up with the renegade who travelled around the country in a station wagon armed with missiles. I miss those days when I had time to read.

Definitely a great talent. One of those actors that most will remember but few know much about.

Yup- The Destroyer by Murphy and Sapir.

Indeed. Slight thread drifts. Even worse, in 1988 they tried to revive the story for TV, with Roddy McDowell taking over for Joel Gray. I actually watched the pilot which did not do well enough to warrant a full series, and remember being appalled at how bad it was.

Captain Morgan

The Right Stuff was his best movie but I also enjoyed Tremors.

Lets not forget Sweet Home Alabama. "The South has risen again!"
