Gene Hackman won't be down for breakfast..

[davek]

That would be my guess, but why should you need to be signed into view a post about a person's passing.... Post that sort of post in an open forum...
Leave the political forum for political posts... Which I choose not to view since I don't need to see how ignorant some people are....

And I agree,I PM Joey on this and his reply was It has always been this way. I dont do politics. Can you say , well I better not say it.

RIP Gene,you will be missed.

Bring me the ball

God, I hope he doesn't kill anybody...

RIP Gene, Betsy, and pup. Prayers there was no foul play.

Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.
When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.

All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor. Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.

They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent. His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.

You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.

Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....

And I just watched him in the Poseidon Adventure last weekend.

If that rainbow bridge thing is true then when I die I’ll get swarmed by scores of animals, which will be kinda awesome!

Hackman was a solid performer.
I remember reading a story about him, how he didn't like seeing himself onscreen. He thought that he looked too old or at least older in appearance that he felt. I know what THAT is like...
I liked him in Unforgiven, Enemy of the State and The Firm. I liked the chase scene from The French Connection.
He was excellent in Behind Enemy Lines and actually funny in Get Shorty and Heartbreakers.
The circumstances surrounding his passing are quite strange. I hope that the whole story comes out to make sense of it. RIP to him and his wife.

So sad what happened.

Someone mentioned at work that he was in Young Frankenstein had no idea.

No doubt one of the best actors. My favorite would have to be Unforgiven. RIP little bill.

The better half & I are going to be surrounded! Great write up, thank you.

Because dimwitted people cannot control themselves and hijack a general thread with some political comment and the mods got tired of it and amalgamated the news and politics into one forum.

or all of those posting religious stuff here in the GDF too
you can take both as not current affairs, actual real news
neither of them, don't belong in GD forum either, if you want to point fingers
just as guilty, can be just as polarizing too

he who throws stones at glass house, best not live in one

I hope we find out how they passed; that's some truly sad events going down right there.
RIP all 3 of them.

Obviously the initial speculation was wrong... Guess we gotta wait and see what really happened.... What ever it is it's a damn shame.... And really strange...

They may have been thinking ahead...
