Truly sad news. I'll make sure that I play the FLUTE CONCERTO, today, as a tribute.

Harry Anderson aka judge harry-stone and first lady Barbara Bush. Sadness.

The flute solo in Princess Leia's Theme is a true highlight on the OST.

Who's he? And what is he to me?

[Lady Dimitrescu 10,266]

Never heard of him.

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 11,287]

Both of you never watched British light entertainment I guess.

[A24 4,933]

God, no!

 

 

Although I did watch ...

 

[Lady Dimitrescu 10,266]

I watched Mr Bean.

What did you think of Mrs. Slocombe's pussy?

[Naïve Old Fart 12,160]

You're all doing very well 

I love the episode where Trevor Bannister's character sells back young Mr. Grace his own coat!

[Sharkissimo 1,976]

Is there no demand for mechanical pussies?

[Holko 11,684]

Not the most relevant to this circle or to my interests, but Avicii suddenly died at 28. Wake Me Up is one of the songs that define my late high schol years, it was so overplayed I almost started to like it.

You mean a famous person was a member here? Neato. 

[A24 4,933]

Bloodboal was Verne Troyer?!?!

[Lady Dimitrescu 10,266]

I thought he was average height.

Patricia Morison (103!) has gone to the happy hunting grounds. Will she be the next avatar of Drax? Does she have what it takes?

[Lady Dimitrescu 10,266]

I need to see some of her movies, but wow they made women better back then. They were snappy, cool, sophisticated, knew how to talk back with finesse.

 

Or was that the scriptwriters?

[John 2,033]

Bill Gold, creator of many iconic movie posters, has died at 97.

 

Quote

Bill Gold, who revolutionized the art of the movie poster over a seven-decade career that began with Casablanca and included A Clockwork Orange, The Exorcist and dozens of Clint Eastwood films, has died. He was 97.

The Brooklyn native began at Warner Bros. in the early 1940s and had a hand in more than 2,000 posters during his iconic career, working on films for everyone from Alfred Hitchcock (1954's Dial M for Murder), Elia Kazan (1955's East of Eden) and Federico Fellini (1963's 8 1/2) to Sam Peckinpah (1969's The Wild Bunch), Robert Altman (1971's McCabe & Mrs. Miller) and Martin Scorsese (1990's Goodfellas).

 

RIP. Many of his designs are some of my all-time favorite posters. It's a shame most of today's movie posters aren't very creative. I wish more people took inspiration from this man.

[Naïve Old Fart 12,160]

He did superlative work, but, as far as I remember, the poster for McCABE AND MRS MILLER, was painted by Richard Amstel.

[Disco Stu 15,514]

Whoa.  Anthony Bourdain committed suicide.

 

RIP
