The RIP thread

Smallman1

RIP to Gene Hackman, thought he was terrific in Wolverine.

alistair

Smallman1 how many of his films have you actually seen beyond Superman?

Old-Dutch

The (carbon-monoxide) Poisionidon Adventure

Dan

alistair Superman 2

303abuser

Weird circumstances. He had more great movies than I can count, Hoosiers is one of the best sports movies ever.

alistair

303abuser His parts in The Conversation, Unforgiven and Crimson Tide particularly stand out for me besides the legend that is Popeye Doyle. Also stole the show as Lex Luthur.

Homegrove

alistair I’m so mad the three minutes scene-from Crimson Tide is not on Youtube. Where Hackman and Denzel just eyeball each other, Hackman’s character suddenly goes super racist, and they have that conversation about the only white horses. They are both so good in it.

303abuser

alistair Unforgiven is one I need to watch again, loved it at the time. He was good in everything.

alistair

Homegrove not sure how well the film stands up now, but I also remember enjoying his performance in No Way Out.

Homegrove Maybe it’s just blocked from your algorithm?

303abuser

Just read that they’re investigating their deaths as suspicious, no sign of a gas leak.

Sad about Hackman like.

Loved that actor

I looked him up a couple of years ago and was shocked at his age. He was rarely seen out anymore but fair play at that age

Homegrove

alistair I watched that last year, liked it well enough.

LT42

Bat21 getting a bad rap from all the movie snobs. I loved that flick.

Homegrove

I’ve never seen The Conversation, and the new 4K restauration is on AppleTV, so I got that and the Quick and the Dead (NOT a classic, but well beloved by a lot of people) for 10 € combined.

Old-Dutch

Worth a watch

Homegrove

Old-Dutch pretty sure you are in the wrong thread. And also Jeffrey Sachs jesus christ.

Old-Dutch

Lol. I’m in the wrong thread indeed.

What’s your beef with Sachs? Seems like an adult in the room

Homegrove

He’s been a well known Russian mouth piece for years.

Old-Dutch

If anything, he comes across as anti-US Govt and their foreign policy overreach. He’s a well versed historian and knows his shit - more importantly he isn’t afraid to call it as he sees it.

Labelling him a Russian mouthpiece is a bit naiive. He’s telling he truth.

Old-Dutch

I sense a bit of irony on that post, Hugo But you’ve downvoted me so I’m not sure.

In any case, I’d like to correct you on the Sachs COVID stance which is completely incorrect in your post as evidenced in my post in the COVID thread.

I guess when the World Heslth Organisation finally acknowledge the fact that COVID—19 was an engineered virus we can put that one to bed. Despite the fact there is still zero evidence to support the natural spillover theory.

hugopal

Old-Dutch yeah I’ll have to row back my post a bit - serves me right for jumping in to political discussion right before I’m about to go to sleep. Sachs is still a stan for Russia and China, but seems he very occasionally stumbles upon some insight.

As for the WHO, considering they likely knew about the whole scheme before the virus was released they will never admit to anything. Best one can hope for there is some whistleblower eventually.
