Today's rental recommendation: When We Were Kings. On this day back in 1974, Muhammad Ali knocked out George Foreman in the eighth round of a 15-round bout in Kinshasa, Zaire, to regain his world heavyweight title.
Be sure to blow George Plimpton a kiss from the cinetrix if you do. And, if you can, pair it with the excellent Simpsons episode that includes mention of the Secretariat-Tyson fight: The Slaughter on the Water. "They were so drunk!"
Ali Boom-bah-yeh.
