Very sad newsâŠ
R.I.P. Val.
Yeah he was a very good actor, and very underused imo - he was great in heat and tombstone⊠that said I doubt he would have done much more if he lived longer, and he got to live a life thatâs better than 99% of the world aside from his health complications and early death.
RIP Val Kilmer, Gene Hackman and Betsy, Angel Del Pozo
Val Kilmer, Gene Hackman, Richard Chamberlain, and Angel del Pozo, all fine actors gone too soon.
Ted Kotcheff the director of Rambo First Blood and my personal favorite Wake in Fright has died at the age of 94.
Always seemed like a nice positive guy when he was on FB a few years ago ⊠if indeed it was he, but I think it was himself ⊠So, as Jack / âHuntâ would say, âOnwardsâ
Rest in peace, amigo.
RIP and hats off to what really was a helluva career!
Goodbye, âDr. Tom Cooperâ. Your legend lives on.
Sad to hear this but 96 is a good age to reach.
Happy trails, amigo.
Alvaro Vitali also passed away
R.I.P. LALO SCHIFRIN, aged 93âŠ
Adios to one of my all-time favourite film and TV composersâŠ
Such a true and monumental legend; but one that leaves behind an enduring legacy - an absolute treasure trove of once heard, never forgotten music, and eternal memories.
Lalo was also responsible for this⊠https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=184uovqxj2M
Of courseâŠâPigeon-toed Orange Peelâ, as used in another of his great scores, âCooganâs BluffââŠstarring Clint Eastwood.
My younger brother and I used to sing âPigeon toed orange peelâ when we were just kids, thinking it the funniest 1960s nonsense weâd heard.
Old Lalo was certainly a prolific composer and one of the most recognizable film score guys of the 1960s and 70s ⊠the main theme from âMagnum Forceâ is the one piece that comes to mind when heâs mentioned, with that thundering bass guitar and itâs groovy menace.
R.I.P Maestro
One of the greats.
