Do you think one of the pallbearers will say it?

Seeing him in Maverick was so cool.  I was always ambivalent on Top Gun, I'd seen it a million times but it had been a long time since I saw it beginning to end.  Just random scenes here and there.  When Maverick was released we were coming off the pandemic and it's what we needed at the time.  His scenes with Cruise were great and seeing them now they mean more.  You could tell those tears and emotions were not just acting.  I didn't think Cruise had it in him anymore.

Maybe Poker's not your game.  I know, let's have a spelling contest.

The amount of times I have repeated that line in my head while at a poker table with no money in front of me.

One of Mongo's finest moments.   Getting Angel Hernandez to throw him out of Wrigley Field.      R.I.P.

I knew her from Dallas, Carrie, and Nightmare on Elm Street.  100 year old.  What a life!

For the old timers, today in 2006 was the day Billy Ringo shuffled off this mortal coil.

oh man....  Was so glad to get to meet that guy when we were able to get in the suite at WM, which I think you organized?

I still have the pocket knives and fishing lures he sent me.

I sadly didn't find the old site until after he passed, although I did see a few of his posts afterwards. Seemed like a great guy.

He was a good egg, our Billy Ringo.

He was a great guy. I remember a quote of him talking about the fear during war saying something like “You had to spit it it out as it tasted like rust”. I miss the old board for those archives.

Sly was probably too drugged up to ever manage his affairs.

The Beach Boys Brian Wilson has passed away. He was 82.

Please don’t let this turn into one of those “come in threes” deals.

Want to see a really good music-themed bio pic about the creative process that isn't full of total bull**** (Hi, Bohemian Rhapsody)? Check out Love & Mercy about Brian Wilson. It's a great, great movie about a troubled genius, and yes, the guy was a genius with music, even if almost every other part of his life was a mess. We feel deprived of what could have been after "Pet Sounds", but the madness set in and stopped everything, but that same madness created "Pet Sounds" too. HIs lack of cynicism made that music great, but it also made him a target. Paul Dano should have been nominated for awards for his performance and John Cusack has never been better. The director used sound like a character too. It's worth a couple hours of your time, especially now. You'll find a whole new appreciation for Wilson after watching it. I liked Pet Sounds before I saw that movie, but I never really LISTENED to it and it's truly a masterpiece.
