Everybody should watch Slapshot again.
Just for the heckfire of it!
(truth be told, I always wondered why, given his stature, why Newman made that movie....)
.
The only real speculation I've heard about it is that he was just looking to do something different. Strangely, given the film's current popularity, it was a move that actually backfired on him a bit at the time.
Ah, but his swan song was "Nobody's Fool"...wow
