    And Henry Miller in “Tropic of Cancer”. A lot of people forgot that book was made into a movie.

    Now I have a good reason to rewatch Beastmaster and The Man Who Fell to Earth. And then be super sad since I'll be reminded that David Bowie is dead too.

    My dad took me to that flick when it was in the theatres. I had no clue what it was about, but it’s a hilarious and original concept: before you enter heaven, your entire life is put on video trial to decide if you’re worthy for the afterlife. You are reincarnated if they decide you not worthy.

    Just realized that about a week ago, Jared "Hefty Lefty" aka "Pillsbury Throwboy" Lorenzen died:



    Complications from liver disease and just in general being morbidly obese. He was 38.

    Are you talking about Centauri? Because that’s Robert Preston, good ol’ Prof. Harold Hill. It’s been years since I’ve seen the Last Starfighter, so maybe I’m forgetting about Rip Torn being in that movie.

    If anyone that cares missed it, Jim Bouton passed away a couple of days ago at 80.

    Former MLB pitcher and author of the book "Ball Four" that has been acknowledged as one of the greatest sports book ever numerous times. He blew the lid off of sports heroes being icons and showed that they were simply faulty men who could hit a fastball. You don't even have to be a baseball fan to read it and recognize the humor and humanity he possessed as he did his best to continue to play the game he loved even though he no longer possessed the talent, he powered through on heart. You have to admire that.

    RIP Bulldog.

    Well fuck me. I could have sworn that was Rip Torn but you’re right.

    I received the evidence that athletes are only human the day I met Mark Spitz. Jesus CHRIST that man had IQ barely above being able to tie his own shoes. If you could give a human being the personality of “Moose” from Archie Comics it would be that dude. How many gold medals in one sitting was it again?

    Dude, Night Hawks is just flat-out GOOD. But Hauer did deserve better than what he was given, he was a brilliant actor surrounded by garbage writing. He owes his career to Paul Verhoeven and hit the ground running with Blade Runner.

    And truly John Ryder is one of the most unflinchingly terrifying and unstoppable villains in movie history. He scared more people in The Hitcher with a friendly grin than any movie monster ever could. Again: awesome role, bad movie.

    The ending monologue in Blade Runner is one of my favorite scenes of all time. Spoilers.
