Actual for You - Cool Hand Luke - Cool is Not Enough

I watched Cool Hand Luke on TV the other night. It is an old movie (1967) staring Paul Newman in the lead role along with George Kennedy. There is an assortment of other actors who I recognized more by their voices than their very young faces – including Wayne Rogers from the MASH TV series, and Dennis Hopper.
The story is set in 1948 at a Southern US chain-gang prison. It lives up to the label of a classic movie – enjoyable to watch and full of powerful messages.

Advertisers have seized upon a new way to get the word out about their products: slap their ads on your vehicle. Actually, this isn’t an entirely new way to promote products as it has been in the experimental stages for years in limited markets. Now, however, the practice has become so widespread that companies around the globe are doing it. Soon, many cars in Mexico and France along with vehicles on the streets of California, Florida, and elsewhere will be sporting ads pitching a variety of products. In some cases the adv

A magistrate in the home country of Breaking News, Trinidad and Tobago, ordered an investigation into how a picture of one of the accused in the Sean Luke murder case got on the Internet. The boy is 13 years old and his picture is supposed to be protected because he is a minor.

Luke, like an entrepreneur, is an independent thinker, anti-authority, bold and positive minded. Luke, who earns the nickname “Cool Hand” after he wins a poker game entirely on bluffing, emanates confidence even when he holds a losing hand. Unshakable confidence is the most important ingredient in an entrepreneur’s success. Luke appears unafraid even when he is unfairly sentenced to severe punishment in the box.
Luke demonstrates the unstoppable persistence of entrepreneurs in his boxing match with the prison yard bully (George Kennedy). Luke is clearly out-matched and is knocked repeatedly to the ground, yet he persistently gets up only to be knocked down again. George Kennedy firsts warns then begs Luke to “Stay down”. Luke replies, “You’re gonna hafta kill me.” Perhaps the movie “Rocky” got its genesis from this scene. The boxing match ends with George Kennedy walking away instead of hitting Luke again. Sometimes entrepreneurs win through pure persistence.
In another demonstration of the entrepreneurial spirit, Luke proclaims, “I can eat 50 eggs.”
