odessasteps Posted August 16, 2025 Posted August 16, 2025 We were a CBS soap household but my college roommate got me watching GH in the late 80s, cementing my fondness for Finola Highes and Ian Buchanan. 2
colonial Posted August 17, 2025 Posted August 17, 2025 British actor Terence Stamp, who was General Zod in the first two Superman films, has died at 87 ... Superman II | The Best of Zod
The Natural Posted August 17, 2025 Posted August 17, 2025 Terence Stamp has passed away, 87. I'll always remember him as General Zod in Superman II. Kneel before Zod. RIP Terrence Stamp.

Check that timing out.
odessasteps Posted August 17, 2025 Posted August 17, 2025 The Limey is such a great movie from a great year in movies. 1
(BP) Posted August 17, 2025 Posted August 17, 2025 Tubi and Pluto probably have The Hunger horror anthology series from 90s if you want some to see some good Stamp. He’s the host of the first season, and every intro is him puttering around a dilapidated mansion just going off about subjects that are completely unrelated to the themes of the subsequent stories. The show is mid-to-garbage otherwise, but all of those 90-second monologues are incredible.
odessasteps Posted August 17, 2025 Posted August 17, 2025 Imagine if they would have picked Stamp to replace Connery as Bond. His ideas about the character were apparently too unconventional for Cubby and saltzman.
COLETTI Posted August 26, 2025 Posted August 26, 2025 (edited) Surprised not to see this mentioned here - Jerry Adler, of The Sopranos, Rescue Me, and more, died this past Saturday at the ripe old age of 96. Edited August 26, 2025 by COLETTI 2
odessasteps Posted August 27, 2025 Posted August 27, 2025 From a couple days ago ... RIP brock peters age 78. I'd guess best known for either To Kill a Mockingbird or a couple roles on Trek, including Sisko's father. 1
Curt McGirt Posted August 27, 2025 Posted August 27, 2025 (edited) I forgot Jerry was even on Rescue Me. That show should get reruns sometime, it was on at like 2 AM awhile ago but got dropped. Hesh was always the sleeper best character on The Sopranos. There's stories he had to have had where they could probably have done a separate series about him from the '60s if they wanted. When Tony went against him, it was like the final nail in the coffin after Chrissy, you could actively hate him to the full extent now if you didn't already.

Curt McGirt Posted September 2, 2025 Posted September 2, 2025 From the Fangoria Facebook page: Quote Fango is sad to hear the news of Scott Spiegel's passing. Spiegel, a lifelong friend and collaborator of Sam Raimi, co-wrote EVIL DEAD 2 and wrote/directed the 1989 slasher INTRUDER. Spiegel was credited as “Fake Shemp” in both EVIL DEAD and EVIL DEAD 2, and appeared in various cameos in later Raimi films. He played Scotty in the precursor to the EVIL DEAD universe, WITHIN THE WOODS, after befriending Bruce Campbell and Sam Raimi in junior high. From the X account of Bruce Campbell: “This is a big personal loss. Scott Spiegel was a huge part of my formative years back in Michigan. From Sunday School to being stock boys together, to Evil Dead II, which Scott co-wrote, I can’t look in the rear view mirror without seeing this unique guy doing cheap gags. I’m grateful for the treasure trove of happy memories. Keep Shemping, Scott!” RIP
jaedmc Posted September 2, 2025 Posted September 2, 2025 Awww, I highly recommend Spiegel's "Intruder", which is a really fun late 80's slasher set in a grocery store after hours. He makes some wacky choices, and it was never ever a dull time.
Curt McGirt Posted September 2, 2025 Posted September 2, 2025 I feel bad because I rented it once as a kid, but it was so boring I never got to the big kills. I'd probably like it more now.
Gonzo Posted September 2, 2025 Posted September 2, 2025 For some reason, I really thought that Graham Greene was in Corner Gas, but it turns out he only appeared in the movie in a small role.
Travis Sheldon Posted September 2, 2025 Posted September 2, 2025 Shudder's The Last drive-In had Intruder on in the past couple years.
(BP) Posted September 3, 2025 Posted September 3, 2025 Die Hard with a Vengeance and Maverick were on constantly in my house when I was growing up, and Greene is great in both. He’s got a shockingly significant part in With a Vengeance considering he was the fourth banana in a Die Hard movie and shared little screen time with Willis.
Curt McGirt Posted September 3, 2025 Posted September 3, 2025 When I heard he died the first thing i thought of was him trying to wrangle the kids in the school in that.
Dolfan in NYC Posted September 10, 2025 Posted September 10, 2025 RIP Polly Holliday. Don't remember who she is? Well, kiss her grits!
odessasteps Posted September 16, 2025 Posted September 16, 2025 It’s interesting to see what people think are Redford’s biggest movies. Most folls on Twitter are mentioning Butch and Sundance and All the Presidents Men and Ordinary People winning Oscars.
(BP) Posted September 16, 2025 Posted September 16, 2025 Negative charisma, catcher’s mitt face, and he created a festival that immediately became a convention of Hollywood shills laundering industry movies as “independent.” Paul Newman’s lucky he could walk after having to carry that sunburnt goof.
(BP) Posted September 16, 2025 Posted September 16, 2025 Oh, and Ordinary People is the epitome of the wrong movie winning Best Picture and then becoming culturally irrelevant almost immediately.
