Re: The Greatest Suicides on Film
Leo. G. Carroll slowly pointing the gun on himself and pulling the trigger in Spellbound . My what a big gun and hand you have. Yeah, the hand holding the revolver isn't actually the most lifelike or realistic looking thing you'll ever see in a movie, is it. https://youtu.be/tRiuo_KlvCk (...btw, ev...

Re: !
...Didn't hear any complaints about CA after that!! This couple are very nice and fine people, but like so many, make clueless generalizations. Gee, I'm actually kind'a surprised that showing 'em the facts would shut 'em up here, James?!!!! I mean, surely they must've had OTHER reasons for their mo...

Re: The Greatest Suicides on Film
I love the poignant film friendship of Sol and Thorn... Interesting anecdote to the SOYLENT GREEN duo, Dargo, which you're almost certainly already familiar: Charlton Heston eulogized Edward G. Robinson!! Yep, Eddie G. died within a few weeks of its post-production, as I recall. However, there's ab...

Re: The Greatest Suicides on Film
Honestly don't have to double-check: the Los Angeles Memorial Sports Arena!! (I think. ;) ) Yep, that's it! Or, at least WAS it, anyway. 'Cause as I'm sure you know, that location is now where they would build that stadium where they play that game in which almost all players aren't allow to use th...

Re: !
...There are some real nutcases out there in the heartland. OH yeah there are and always have been. Now, MY personal little "favorites" of these kind'a folks have always been those who after some natural catastrophe has befallen the state of California, they'll opine the idea that that's ...

Re: The Greatest Suicides on Film
When I hear the opening strains of Beethoven's 6th (Pastoral) Symphony, still to day and after over 50 years of first watching it unfold on the silver screen, I sometimes think back to how Edward G. Robinson decided to end his life in the film 'Soylent Green'... https://youtu.be/SW4-jcTnjLo And now ...

Re: Conquest of a Franchise, or, "Humans see, Humans do"
As a side note, the winner, Dominique Green, was cast in the upcoming Battle For The Planet of the Apes . Wow! Now THAT'S impressive that you know this, Rich!

Re: The Greatest Suicides on Film
I've always felt one of the more interesting and unusual means a character willingly ends his life is shown at the end of the film 'The Light That Failed' (1939). Ronald Colman, a former British soldier who becomes a painter and who gradually goes blind and thus does not want to live any longer, ret...

Re: Conquest of a Franchise, or, "Humans see, Humans do"
Dargo, would not be surprised to read that you'd attended the following CONQUEST contest to promote the 1972 installment: https://i.pinimg.com/736x/81/2d/ac/812dacf5cd52ec286788732f0edfb82c.jpg Heck, wouldn't be surprised if you'd subbed for Gary Owens during some of that day!! Oh yeah! I was there...
