I really think that's way too old for boxing.

How old is Mike Tyson who is still at it!

I used to like Dances With Wolves and the music but haven't seen it for 25+ years. Might give it a watch, see what it's like nowadays.

It’s a fabulous film, isn’t it?

I might see it differently being 25+ years older, now watching in my mid 40s. Different thoughts etc which tends to happen when I watch films from my youth.

 

[Fourinarow]

Yes. Maybe not everyone's cup of tea but I enjoyed it all those years ago and will look to watch it again soon.
I have the John Dunbar Theme in my Classical music playlist on Spotify.

The one shot from Dances with Wolves was when we first saw Graham Green sat upon his horse looking down at the fort he looked a magnificent Indian warrior.

In memory of the father of Dennis Edward's (lead singer of the Temptations) who died on this day.
Apparently his dad was never much on thinking, spent most of his time chasing women and drinking. Its also said that wherever he laid his hat was his home and when he died, all he left us was alone.

Is that a Temptations song or was it just my imagination ?
