piranesi Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 This one hurts. Jim Hendricks, better known to some of us as COMMANDER U.S.A. from USA Network's COMMANDER U.S.A.'s GROOVY MOVIES has died. He was an every Saturday thing for me in my adolescence and was a big part of what made USA network amazing in the early days of cable. He also got me a genuine ass-kicking when my old man saw I ran up a huge phone bill trying to win his "Spend the night at the Norman Bates House" contest to promote PSYCHO 3. I really wanted that Psycho 3 shower radio. I regret nothing. I was also fully convinced that my future life was going to be essentially what he is depicting. I would live in some sort of shack underneath a local mall and watch crappy old movies while pretending to talk to people about them even though I was alone. Come to think of it....that's not too far off. You can still see a lot of complete episodes on Youtube. I suggest you do just that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

odessasteps Posted April 2, 2018 Author Share Posted April 2, 2018 RIP Steven Bochco It’s amazing the amount of talent on a show that lasted only a month. Oh, and the first episode (not the pilots) of Colombo, the one with Jack Cassidy dir3cted by Spielberg. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

piranesi Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 Chuck McCann who played goofy looking weirdos in tons of 70s-90s shows/movies and a mountain of voice-over work has died. He's the guy next to Bob Denver here. He was also one of my favorite Columbo characters ever, the skeevy projector operator murdered by Robert Culp: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny Sorrow Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 It truly is amazing that a basically untrained actor stole a Kubrick movie to the point where you don’t really care about what happens after his character dies. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny Sorrow Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 Did he ad lib? I thought the story was that Ermey saw the script and told Kubrick it wasn’t realistic, so Kubrick asked him to basically punch up the script. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
