With the much anticipated 2010 Winter Olympics in British Colombia, Canada just a few weeks away. The eternal question pops up again but with a twist in last month's DVD release of docu-drama classic Downhill Racer. The film asks those of us with some talent and ability - "How fast must a man go to get from where he's at?"
The 1969 sports classic movie "Downhill Racer" starting a very young Robert Redfordtries to answer this pondering question that all of us with a crumb of talent and ability ask ourselves everyday. How much ambition to you have in you to take your talent and ability to the next level? Can you take it to the highest level in your chosen field or career? At what cost?
What if you get to the top and you find out you never really left from where you started?
What gets me about this classic sports/love movie is that Gene Hackman has hair!!!
According to Hollywood critics, Downhill Racer is the best sports movie ever produced with some of the most spectacular ski scenes ever filmed. It is not really a sports movie par se (Olympic downhill ski racing is just the setting), but more of a romantic drama told in documentary style in exotic ski locations like the Lauberhorn at Wengen, Switzerland and the Hahnenkamm at Kitzbuhel, Austria. Also included were Megeve, France and St. Anton, Austria.

Here is what Image Entertainment wrote about the movie:
"Astonishing Alpine location photography and a young Robert Redford in one of his earliest starring roles are just two of the visual splendors of Michael Ritchie's visceral debut feature, DOWNHILL RACER. In a beautifully understated performance, Redford is David Chappellet, a ruthlessly ambitious skier competing with an underdog American team in Europe for Olympic gold, and Gene Hackman provides tough support as the coach who tries to temper the upstart's narcissistic drive for glory. With a subtle screenplay by acclaimed novelist James Salter, DOWNHILL RACER is a vivid character portrait buoyed by breathtakingly fast and furious imagery that brings the viewer directly into the mind of the competitor."
Very Short List wrote last month of the new DVD release of Downhill Racer:
"Just weeks after Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid
made Robert Redford into a megastar in 1969, the actor turned up in a
very different kind of picture—a documentary-style movie about a
fearless skier with an all-consuming desire for Olympic gold. Downhill Racer
(available from Criterion 11/17) shows Redford at his early best:
outrageously charming, naturally physical and unrelentingly sexy.
Much of Downhill Racer—which was directed by Michael Ritchie, who reteamed with Redford in 1972 for The Candidate—is
a sort of thrill ride: Cameras mounted to actual skiers provided
bird’s-eye footage of what it’s like to careen down slopes at what
looks like a million miles an hour. Sure, there’s a love interest, and
a rival or two, but the film focuses mostly on the development of one
great undisciplined athlete into a bona fide star. Plus, Redford’s
coach is played by a young Gene Hackman, who gives us a peek at the guy
we love so much in Hoosiers."

NEW YORK - A home movie showing a relaxed Marilyn Monroe apparently smoking marijuana has surfaced, retrieved from an attic some 50 years after it was filmed.
A raw reel-to-reel silent, color film taken at a private home in New Jersey was recently purchased by collector Keya Morgan for $275,000 from the person who took the film, who has asked to remain anonymous.
Damn, what is Rosie O'Donnell doing there in this '50s clip? Wow, she must be hella old now......lol
Girls smoking anything don't look attractive - it a big turn off for most men. But Marilyn looks SUPER HOT!!!
Check out the World Cup Final Draw Coverage to see which teams are placed into which groups. Final draw coverage begins Friday, December 4, 2009 at 12 p.m. EST.
Source - Yahoo Sports:
Co-host for Friday's World Cup draw Charlize Theron played a little
joke on FIFA during a rehearsal on Wednesday for the event. Says the Irish Independent:
Ms Theron, whose long-term partner is Irish actor Stuart
Townsend, pulled out the 'Ireland' ball instead of a 'France'
ball. But, unlike much of the rest of the world, Ms Theron was not laughing
at us.
Instead, she was having a laugh at FIFA's
expense after Ireland's failed bid to become the 33rd team at the event.
"Yes, she did, but it was only a joke," FIFA general secretary Jerome
Valcke said.
Favorites to win the World Cup according to CNBC before the final draw later today:
Brazil 9/2
Spain 9/2
England 6/1
Argentina 6/1
As the tournament gets closer, the odds will change a bit. Rumors have it that the "Smart Money" will increase their wagers into the English side and their odds will change to 5/1. As always, since the beginning of the World Cup 80 years ago at Uruguay 1930, the top four favorites to win the tournament have come from South America and Europe only. In fact, South America has 9 World Cup wins and Europe has also 9 wins. South America is the only region in the world to win the World Cup outside their own continent, Brazil in 1958 and 2002!

P.S. South America is very strong this year with solid "Selecciones" from Brazil, Paraguay, Chile, Uruguay and Argentina. Even with Argentina's problems and difficulties in qualifying to this year's tournament, they are a team that should not be taken lightly. Individually, Argentina has the most talent and depth then any team in the world but they have the wrong head coach. But you never know about Maradona, he has more lives than all the cats on Earth combine....
The World Cup 2010 champion will be South American.....
