JimRockford Member since: Sep 18, 2015 Threads: 2 Posts: 971 | Watched one of my all time favorite movies, The Blues Brothers, the other day in remembrance of Matt Guitar Murphy who died Las June. I started thinking of all of the cast members who have died. I count 11 without doing any searching. I'm not saying that it's unexpected. The movie is 38 years old and it featured a few musicians who were really old at the time. It just struck me as kind of sad. Here's my list. I may have missed some. John Belushi Donald Duck Dunn Mr. Fabulous Matt Guitar Murphy Carrie Fisher James Brown Ray Charles Cab Calloway John Lee Hooker John Candy Henry Gibson The mind hungers for that on which it feeds. |

Consider that not too thin Anita is still hanging in there. r e s p e c t... You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |

Aretha. Respect indeed. I'm guessing autocorrect got you. The mind hungers for that on which it feeds. |

Funny, I was just thinking about watching this movie since Rawhide was on the t.v. Is Aretha Franklin still around? What was the name of the actress who played the nun? |

As Rxwine pointed out the Queen of Soul is alive and well. I believe she performed st some benefit last year. Don't know about the nun. I'll look it up later if I have time Edit: Kathleen Freeman, the penguin died in 2001 at the age of 82. The mind hungers for that on which it feeds. |

I see what you mean. Strong indicator that fat comedians and '70s musicians have a short life expectancy. The mind hungers for that on which it feeds. |

rxwine Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 189 Posts: 18762 | Watched "The Cabin in the Woods" (2012) Interesting premise for a horror movie. Definitely a movie you should see without reading a spoiler. If you go in expecting a standard horror flick you may be disappointed even though that's what it appears to be. You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |

ams288 Member since: Apr 21, 2016 Threads: 29 Posts: 12532 | BlacKkKlansman The incredible true story of a black undercover cop who infiltrated the KKK in the 70s. It stars John David Washington (Denzel's son) and Adam Driver of Star Wars fame. Topher Grace plays David Duke. It's funny, but a lot of the racial stuff his character spews out in this movie couldn't help but remind me of the things certain members on this board have been spewing recently. This movie isn't afraid to draw direct parallels to today's political climate, where the Nazis are emboldened by the racist currently occupying the White House. In fact, the movie ends with an epilogue highlighting the events in Charlottsville one year ago, and Trump's horrible "very fine people on both sides" response. I would not recommend this movie for rightie snowflakes. They'd melt. Everyone else should enjoy it. It's an entertaining true story. “A straight man will not go for kids.” - AZDuffman |
