    Ah crap!
    One of my favourite actors of the 70s and 80s. Such a powerful presence.

    He was brilliant in Midnight Run as Special Agent Alonzo Mosely!

    Paul Schrader's directorial debut Blue Collar is well worth checking out for anyone who hasn't seen it. Yaphet, Richard Pryor and Harvey Keitel are all superb.

    RIP.

    That's more than half of the Alien crew gone now.

    It's a sobering thought.

    Released 42 years ago. Time's a savage beast. And you don't dare kill it.

    Another film that illustrated that Pryor sort of wasted his career (I know!) by not doing more drama cos he was a terrific 'straight' actor. Blue Collar is well worth finding - a bit of a lost film these days as far as TV is concerned.

    His performance in Blue Collar is top notch. I actually avoided the film for years even as a big fan of most of the participants, thinking it was some kind of silly Pryor vehicle with bad laughs. How wrong I was. It totally stands the test of time.
    A fantastic film.

    I wouldn't swap my Dvd of that movie for anything.

    King Rat, The Hot Rock and California Split were all excellent films.

    He was great fun in The Goldbergs too.

    RIP George.

    I wasn't a fan in general, but he was quite good, and playing against typical character in The Terminal Man. Worth a watch!

    French director Bernard Tavernier has died at 79: I’d heard of Un Dimanche à la Campagne (A Sunday in the Country). before as a Golden Globe nominee, one I should watch.

    Death has this much to be said for it:
    You don’t have to get out of bed for it.
    Wherever you happen to be
    They bring it to you—free.

    She was fantastic in later comedic roles like Arrested Development and Archer.

    I'm less familiar with her earlier work, but she's great playing opposite Clint Eastwood in Play Misty for Me.

    It's a bit of a Fatal Attraction type situation. Good story.

    Author Larry McMurtry has died at 84: he was the author of the novel The Last Picture Show, and co-adapted it for the movie screenplay. His Lonesome Dove books were made in to a couple of popular TV series, and later he won an Oscar for co-writing the screenplay to Brokeback Mountain (adapted from E. Annie Proulx's short story).

    Sad. The Lonesome Dove series were very meandering, entertaining fables of the Old West, particularly the initial novel. Writer of Hud too wasn't he?

    I just learned that McMurtry also wrote the novel *Terms Of Endearment*, but wasn’t directly involved with the movie, which won five Oscars including Best Picture and Adapted Screenplay.

    The Oscar winning Paul Newman Film Hud was also adapted from one of his novels (the novel was titled "Horseman Pass By").

    **** on it. Quite a few movies under his belt, Harry Potter and Bond, but probably known mostly for TV lately, such as Friday Night Dinner and Chernobyl, Paul Ritter died of a brain tumour at the relatively young age of 54.
