Oh my! The passing of a great actor.

His movie Cool Hand Luke was my favorite movie of his career.

If some of you younger posters have not seen it, you need to rent it.


Yesterday, I was talking to a 29 year old guy about movies. While he liked some of the classic Clint Eastwood movies, he claimed he had never seen a John Wayne movie. :shock:

He was a great actor.............his philanthropic activities, were greater.

He was a veritable Tim Russert among actors.

He did have a few good movies in his younger days--before turning into a sick leftist political activist.

I ask everybody to not even bother responding to this. It's not worth the time.

Cool Hand Luke is a great movie. Weirdly, I only saw it two days ago and now Paul Newman dies. RIP.

Actually, nobody did except for you, BH.

They would. It's a preemptive strike. I didn't want another Tim Russert thread.

May he rest in peace and hopefully the mission of the food company lives on. As long as it does, I will buy their products. At least as long as they make a killer tomato basil sauce.
