Guest alex Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 One of the greatest cultural icons of the 20th Century was killed when James Dean died in a car crash. His films may seem a bit corny by today's standards but I love him because he was cool as fuck RIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spongebob toonpants 3595 Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 30 years ago today (well tomorrow but whose counting) The Thrilla in Manilla, Ali Foreman 3. Ali way cooler than James Dean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 34387 Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 Benefitted massively from biting the dust early on like. The films really aren't that good IMO. Did anyone watch that show with Gail Porter and that psychic bloke where they would go to the scene of famous people's deaths and the "psychic" would pretend he could feel their pain etc. They did one on James Dean and the psychic gimp was crying and wailing and all sorts.

Renton 17743 Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 James Dean was cool as fuck though. The fact we are still talking about him 50 years later proves this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetleftpeg 0 Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 There was a documentary on Channel 5 (classy, I know) all about the car crash that killed him. Bascially saying that he died because he was such a good racing driver, tried to speed up and drive his way out of the collision rather than hitting his brakes. Also another predictable conspiracy theory that he wasn't driving the car at all. He was pretty cool, although not as cool as Ali I agree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alex Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 30 years ago today (well tomorrow but whose counting) The Thrilla in Manilla, Ali Foreman 3. Ali way cooler than James Dean 41129[/snapback] Frasier you mean? Both heroes of mine. That fight was something else like. The fact it was 100f/ 100% humidity just made it all the more brutal. According to Ali's former Doc, it could be used as an advert to ban boxing and that's pretty much spot on. That said, it was a brilliant contest with two true champions (a little over the hill perhaps) putting everything on the line. When Frasier's trainer threw the towel in it was for the best as he was getting tagged at will with both his eyes nearly closed. Ali collapsed in the ring at the end of the fight too. Shame Ali had so many fights after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sweetleftpeg 0 Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 Foreman was on tele the other day talking about the Rumble in the Jungle, saying that even though he was pissed off with Ali before, during, and after the fight, he's come to realise he was beaten by the better man and said he looks back on it as the greatest fight he ever fought in.

As an aside, he appeared on 'The Salon' on Ch. 4 for a manicure. The woman doing it was amazed when he told her he had been the Heavyweight Champion of the World and had fought Ali. She'd heard of his grill though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Dynamite 5900 Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 There was a documentary on Channel 5 (classy, I know) all about the car crash that killed him. Bascially saying that he died because he was such a good racing driver, tried to speed up and drive his way out of the collision rather than hitting his brakes. Also another predictable conspiracy theory that he wasn't driving the car at all.
