Definately sad to see him go. In addition to be one of the best actors of all time, he was a truly classy person. There will probably be very few if any actors of his caliber ever again.

Since it is somewhat sports-related, I thought I'd mention...
they showed some clips from Charlton Heston's movies in the TV coverage, and one of his scenes,
the chariot race from Ben-Hur is considered by many to be the best scene ever filmed for a movie,
it was pretty realistic and thankfully no cartoonie CG effects!!

Yes, amazing how realistic that was compared to some of today's movies. I, like Jeremy Crouch, am a big James Bond fan. Casino Royale had great action scenes without the goofy CGI (not CBI, btw ). But the Bond movie before that, Die Another Day, had the most hideous looking CGI effects I have ever seen!

They were so bad, the parting of the Red Sea scene in the Ten Commandments looked far more realistic in comparison!
