Khan, Ahab and Corinthian Leather

Edited on Wed Jan-14-09 09:39 PM by MrScorpio

I was watching Moby Dick with Gregory Peck today and of course, if you remember in the Wrath of Khan, Ricardo Montalban also quoted Melville's text of Capt. Ahab as he finally faced his dreaded white whale.

"From Hell's heart, I stab at thee; For hate's sake, I spit my last breath at thee." Then he blew up!

Man, that was great acting!

I think that I speak for geeks everywhere when I say that we lost a great one today
