Strange indeed. Their dog as well.

Hackman did very few poor movies and several great ones.

[Bovidae]

Points to something like CO poisoning.

Indeed, none more so than this.

What a great adversary to Clint. Amazing scene all round.

Double upvote! Probably best Western I’ve seen.

At the risk of detracting from Gene Hackman I’d call it 4th best. I prefer a couple of the dollars trilogy and Outlaw Josey Wales…..which given how brilliant Unforgiven is is really saying something

Strange or not is very sad news

The guy who got to 95, his younger wife or the poor little dog?

I hate to be a bigot, but it really does depend on which breed the dog is.

One of his daughters has suggested that. Really sad

[Victor Meldrew]

@pakman

Arguably one of the best 5 films I've seen.

Always thought Mississippi Burning was his best role. Played a really complex character superbly.

[pakman]

@Victor-Meldrew Double upvote for another top notch GH scene!

You’re English and the dog was German, so a little bigotry could be expected given your history.

You’re assuming far too much. I was more concerned that it might be one of those small “dogs”, in which case I would care somewhat less.

But then of course, if it was a Dachshund it would be both small and German. <shudder>.

Gene Hackman, 95. Strange circumstances.

So many good movie performances in a number of genres

David Johansen, New York Dolls Frontman and Punk Pioneer, Dead at 75

David Johansen, frontman for the New York Dolls and the last surviving original member of that pioneering punk band, has died at the age of 75.

[Tim]

David Johansen RIP. His original band wasn't good, but they were the soundtrack of that great Colin Farrell coke binge sequence from True Detective Season 2. He was also Buster Poindexter from Feeling Hot Hot Hot fame.

A true party ANIMAL.

Hope he is partying in heaven.

Was also in a great episode of Miami Vice.

One of the true NYC legends.
