Excellent hat that man has.

Had.

I'm kind of hoping he was buried with it. I know I'd want to be.

Henry Hill, dat rat muddafucka, is dead of natural causes. Or so they say!

[DEL]

^Henry Hill, the mobster turned supergrass on whom the film "Goodfellas" was based, has died of natural causes at the age of 69.
Hmm....or so they say indeed.
It says they moved him 10 times. Maybe this is a gambit.
69 is too young for a Hill to die .

Andy Griffith has died at the age of 86.

I'm surprised he was only 86; I always thought he looked like 80 when playing Matlock...

[CMoon]

The Borg was the man.

[Ed Oscuro]

Borgnine going hits me deep. I didn't see the whole movie, but remember that scene from "All Quiet on the Western Front" where he teaches fighting with a space? And another role, which probably isn't so well remembered today, had him playing a newspaperman (a panicky one, as it turns out) in Disney's The Black Hole. "Still on strike?"

I don't know what movie that still is from (edit: I'm guessing it's from The Vikings). I'll have to check it out, though.

[Friendly]

95 is a petty good run. If you die at that age, then you have been all you can ever be.

[xbl0x180]

I remember him for three roles:

1. Escape From New York
2. Marty
3. Air Wolf (definitely shoot-'em-up related )


Rest in peace.

[drauch]

So many good films! The Poseidon Adventure, The Dirty Dozen, All Quiet on the Western Front (remake), The Wild Bunch, The Devil's Rain, Marty, Emperor of the North! Sooooo many

[CMoon]

Not a great movie, but I always remember Borgnine in Emperor of the North. Such a relentless, evil character.

[drauch]

God, the beginning to Emperor of the North is so brutal. Borgnine kicking a hobo off a train, throwing a hammer at his face, and then getting cut into pieces by said train.

[Ruldra]

Sage Moonblood Stallone, son of Sylvester Stallone, was found dead today. He was 36.
