[johnr]

what does the peanut gallery think of his passing?

RIP

 

[wslayer]

Lot of good movies,
RIP Sundance Kid

Passed in his sleep so probably slipped away peacefully.

I am a big Twilight Zone fan. If you haven't seen him playing the role of Death in the episode called "Nothing In the Dark" it's a good watch.

 

[NDSportsman]

Always watch Jeremiah Johnson and The Natural when I get the chance. RIP Bob!

Toss up,both great shows ,Butch Cassidy and Jeremiah Johnson, I've read that Redford loved Utah so much as a avid outdoors man,he bought and developed a smaller but quaint ski resort, "Deer Valley"... never skied it as Alta and snowbird were the goto but locals talked well of the terrain.

Sting and Brubaker are a couple of my favorites. I liked most any movie he was in. A first class actor.

 

[BrokenBackJack]

Good actor until he went so darn far left.
He was in some great movies.

Serious, do we have to go there ? Did that really affect his acting ?
I still have respect for ya BBJ, just uncalled for.

 

[lunkerslayer]

One of my favorites beside the ones listed already, is the movie spy game with brad pitt

 

[1lessdog]

I like him in the Horse Whisper.

With me being a Chick Whisper, I can relate .

Yes, and Yes.

It affects the roles they play and how they play them, the messages the movies are trying to deliver (overt or cover), and somehow it affects their ego, making them think other people should listen to what they have to say. Hollywood has been used by both sides of the political aisle since "talkies" were invented. Regarding RR specifically, do you believe that "Brubaker" and "The Last Castle" didn't have the goal of trying to soften prison for inmates?

There's an awful lot of actors/actresses (especially those who achieve stardom, or even a little notoriety as children/adolescents) that are undereducated (dropped out of school), or graduated but with a VERY narrow focus (tutored or the acting equivalent of homeschooling) of only what they needed to have to graduate.

It'd be interesting to see one of the talk-show hosts "guy/gal on the street" reporters who goes out and asks what should be easy "general knowledge" questions of the general public, do something like that at a Hollywood "Red Carpet Event". The baseline ignorance of the entire group may astound a few folks.

I guess we can't let anyone pass these days without ripping them. Hate to see what they say when I'm gone.

Or...maybe being open minded and non-judgemental allows these actors to dive deep into the mindset of the character, producing a more accurate character for the movie. They call them the liberal arts for a reason.

That might be correct, unless you're outside their echo chamber in which case they don't want to see you and sure as hell don't want to hear from you.

That's right over my head.
