'All of my junk is in alphabetical order. This, for example, is under H for toy.'

I think I'll watch that movie in his honor.

Was it that dream where you're standing in sort of sun god robes, while hundreds of naked women are screaming and throwing little pickles at you?

oggie.bsky.social•23 days ago

Why am I the only one who has that dream?

It's a moral imperative.

I was just thinking of Socrates famous last words, “I drank what?”

I quote this on a daily basis, RIP.

This article is just so haunting

About his career was , what it could have been & about his later life

With added 2020 dread

Yeah, even without many lines he could steal scenes, Heat was made so much better with him in it

aulddragon.bsky.social•23 days ago

He starred in one of my favorite underrated comedy films. :(

khwalz.bsky.social•23 days ago

Wow, this is shocking; first I've heard.

mtblah.bsky.social•23 days ago

You picked my personal favorite performance as your example. His was a solid career that I can’t help but feel was prevented from going as big as it could’ve by the battle with cancer

RIP Ice Man. He played Jim Morrison absolutely perfectly.

Damn. Real Genius was one of my all time favorite movies. The friend I could quote all the lines with was also taken by cancer a few years ago. He was 18 years older than us. 😭

derende.bsky.social•23 days ago

Oh no! Real Genius was a favorite of mine. "I'm reminded of the immortal words of Socrates, when he said....... I drank what?"

there are so many iconic performances but look at this man, look at this performance, what a tour de force

Frederic fucking chopin indeed

TOMBSTONE is a god-tier, career-defining performance from him. He might not have delivered as strong of acting in HEAT, but his technical prowess remains legendary.

The documentary, “Val,” about him is really good.

karamcnair.bsky.social•23 days ago

The first line that ever comes to me when I think of him. What an amazing performance.

karamcnair.bsky.social•23 days ago

Reading all the posts about him, thinking about “Real Genius”, “Top Secret”, “Willow” and then just stopping dead when I remembered this.

Creek: what the hell are you doing this for anyway?
Doc: Wyatt Earp is my friend
Creek: Hell I got lots of friends
Doc: I don’t

gonna say something controversial here: but he is my favorite batman to this day

xehtfodrol.bsky.social•23 days ago

Batman Forever isn't a bad Batman! I think they leaned to hard on funny, but it had TAS vibes to me as a kid. But certainly needs lesser billing to Kilmer's other credits.
