colonial Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 Walsh was actually in a movie that was released earlier this month. It's a Mario Van Peebles Western called "Outlaw Posse." Currently available to rent on Prime and YT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(BP) Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 He played John Goodman’s father in a few episodes of Righteous Gemstones, and when he first popped up I felt like I’d seen a ghost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piranesi Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 (edited) I too have this weird Mandela effect memory of seeing a news story using the “motherscratcher” clip from Raising Arizona so,e time in the 2020s. I wonder if it was being referenced for some other reason like he….did something that none of us remember? I guess if he was still working it could be for him getting cast in something and it wasn’t the “news” so much as like twitter. All that stuff blends together now. while I’m typing this I remember that when Trey Wilson died the clip they all played was from Bull Durham not Raising Arizona an I kinda think one news source would have had the vision.

Curt McGirt Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 So that's why I got a totally unexplanatory "love this guy" post on FB from someone today Walsh was fucking great. If you think you thought he was the living face of evil in Blood Simple, go watch him in Straight Time playing Dustin Hoffman-as-Eddie Bunker's rotten-ass parole officer. You'll wanna throw your shoe through the screen. And what a work ethic, the dude made an average of 3-5 film roles a year until 2000, on top of TV appearances. In 1986 he made it into six movies and six TV shows! In 2019 he was back to five movies and seven episodes of a TV series plus the two Righteous Gemstones eps. Fuck, man. RIP 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She had been suffering from mental health issues sincing retiring and was barely recognizable in the picture I saw. She was living in Ohio and had started a pole dancing school. Emily Willis is the girl in a coma. It's a scary time to be an addict. I've lost count of how many people I know or have been acquainted with who have overdosed in the last few years. I count myself as extremely lucky I wasn't one of them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(BP) Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 Gossett is absolutely fantastic in the HBO Watchmen series. I was happy to see him get a showcase at that stage of his career. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cliff Hanger Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 RIP to Joe Flaherty, best known for SCTV (where his recurring roles included station owner Guy Caballero, newscaster and kids' horror host "Count" Floyd Robertson, and Vic Hedges) and as Mr. Weir on Freaks and Geeks. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colonial Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 Saw just now that Martin Short announced a fundraising drive last month to get a FT caregiver for Joe, who was in "failing health." Went on an SCTV binge a few weeks back ... all cast members were great, but Joe, Eugene Levy and Andrea Martin were the rocks of the show. I think they were there for every episode and could be the utility players that such shows need. Now I want to see a wrestling company adopt a Guy Caballero gimmick with a guy who only uses a wheelchair for "respect" and simply walks around because he can. Also a shame that Netflix never released its SCTV tribute while Joe was with us. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The OG of bringing a movie’s quality up just knowing he was in it. A good example being I have seen Diggstown more times than I care to admit.
