Kirk Douglas Steals The Show At The Oscars - Comments and Message Board
I was moved and inspired by Mr. Douglas's appearance at the Oscars. He may look different after his stroke but so will we if we're lucky enough to live so long. Will we have such pluck and courage in the face of adversity as he has? And will our indominable spirit still charm millions of viewers? His body may have changed but his spirit hasn't. He still proves that a "lust for life" is more than just a role for him.

Are you kidding me? The man looked like he was doing a remake of Weekend at Bernies! Considering his body of work, and the gruelingly hard work he had to do to come back from a devastating stroke all came down to some feeble old man with a plasticized face who couldn't quite keep up the decorum. I don't understand why they had to parade him around as a presenter. So much for dignity.

He still "rocks" at 94. I was so enamored with him growing up that I would sit through his movies twice without even thinking about it. At that time, they didn't empty the theater after each show and you were allowed to sit through the same movie again if you chose to do so. When it came to a movie strarring Kirk Douglas, I always judged my time so that I could see it twice. I still watch the "oldies" on TV when they're on. God Bless him -- He was marvelous last night as always -- Just older!! Definitely a movie icon -- By the way, his son Michael "ain't shabby" either!
