I am so stoked to see this movie -- it is killing me that I may have to wait until Talledega week for it to come to Alabama.

Cant wait to see this. I wonder if there will be showings in NY.

Christa McAuliffe?

Thank God the Tiki Bar's open...

Thought you might want to ping the NASCAR warriors to this

"If you're a badass and you can back it up, it will intimidate people. Dale could look at people, and just by looking at them, Dale could make them doubt themselves."

Yeah, that pretty much sums up Earnhardt. He was a one-of-a-kind combination of raw God-given talent, smarts (as opposed to "book larnin'"), and sheer determination.

I always did wonder about his crash...it really did look like he was blocking back there trying to keep Michael Waltrip in the lead so he could win the Daytona 500. #3 was such a competitor, though, I'm not sure I could see him doing that, y'know? I always figured he'd drive over his own team's car with his grandmother in it if it was between him and a checkered flag. :)

I think I like Dale's NASCAR better than the modern version. The drivers (with a few exceptions) all seem to be turning into polished, blow-dried pretty-boy clones of each other. We need more DWs and Earnhardts and that type, real characters with flaws in addition to their strengths.

"Dale Earnhardt is one of the most intriguing personalities in American history"

Oh, puleeeze. With all due respect, isn't that a bit much? Until he died, I had never even heard of him.

Sharyn McCrumb's novel Saint Dale recycles Chaucer's Canterbury Tales as a bus tour of Earnhardt fans to the sacred sites where he raced.

Dale Earnhardt is one of the most intriguing personalities in American history, let alone American sports history.

Well, to a certain segment of American society, anyway....

[fnord]

I guess I will have to wait until July (Brickyard) to see it, unless it hits Netflix sooner.

[roses of sharon]

Be still my heart!

Can't wait.

[Fierce Allegiance]

The same day he died, 7 brave American servicemen went down in a helicopter. Anyone remember any of their names?

"He was Elvis and John Wayne and Steve McQueen and Christa McAuliffe all melded into one bad SOB."

In this series of things, one does not belong. Can you tell us which one does not belong?
