The Final Bow

Robert Duvall


[uck fay]

 

Seems like he had a hell of a run.

 

He was great in a sappy movie that I absolutely love, Secondhand Lions.

 

RIP Harry Hogge

 

You better prepare yourself, we’re about to lose some absolute legends in the near future:
Jack Nicholson
Clint Eastwood
Morgan Freeman
Harrison Ford
Al Pacino
Dustin Hoffman
Robert De Niro
Anthony Hopkins
Christopher Walken

 

Anthony Hopkins has been an octogenarian for like 40 years.

 

That's ok. I figured they were all already dead, except for Morgan Freeman, whose been getting paid for some pharma commercial.

 

I was just surprised how close in age the others are to him.

 

RIP Mr Duvall. The man was in some of my all time favorites. Damn.

 

Don't let old people fool you. Those pill-thingys with the days of the week? They don't need reminders to take their meds. They are so they know what day of the week it is.

 

That is actually one of the DVDs the wife wanted. It is a good movie. Duval did good.

 

Jesse Jackson

 

Why did I think he died a few years ago?

 

He had pretty serious medical issues for years now. I'm surprised he lasted this long.

 

I love history and usually remember a good deal of it but I didn't remember how well he did when he ran for President. He won like 13 primaries. In the years he was running that was a huge accomplishment, maybe one of his biggest. Very impressive.

 

He was a pretty electrifying speaker with charisma in his heyday, but he made some antisemitic comments in that campaign which derailed it. I remember the point in which I knew he was unraveling health-wise when he gave a pretty tepid speech at the DNC.

 

Bill Mazaroski

 

I suspect many on here were not born or at best were babes when Maz left Pirates in early 70's.

That 60's World Series vs Yankees was when I really got interested in baseball. He had a helluva glove.

 

Robert Carradine.
