See you soon, Gene Hackman

I wanted to, but forgot it. Thanks for the reminder.

You too.

Oh yes I forgot that one. Great movie, great performance (by all the cast, not only him).

Ok, homework. You have until monday evening.
Watch The Firm, Unforgiven, and either The Royal Tenenbaums or one of the Superman movies where he was Lex Luthor.
Or I'll have to talk with your parents...

Please watch French Connection 1 & 2 first.
Then the Superman 1 & 2 movies.

Indeed! Great military thriller. And underwater, my fav sub-subgenre of movies! I liked how he walked the dog around the submarine and when he peed, the captain would look around as if he isn't noticing.

He has made too many great movies, or great movie appearances, at least, to mention them all. He got an Oscar for The French Connection, which I've never seen, btw.

He was a great actor. Just that. Artists, whatever field they work in, give something special. You see a painting that makes you ponder for 2 minutes? That's a gift from one artist. Hear a song you've not heard since teen that makes your heart pump faster? Another gift. I wish I would have some kind of talent, painting or doing music. I have creativity, but no real talent for art stuff. Brick head.

We're all going to die, as we say here in Spain "in a hundred years, all bald". And if there's a place we all go, we'll be there for a looooooooooo, oooooooooooooo, oooooooooooong time, enough time to meet anyone you want. And to compare our life with that as a really really short moment. Hence, the "soon" part. It doesn't matter if months, years of decades, it's soon.

They say "never meet your heroes". But my best friend and me met when we were 17. And he didn't have a bad experience, I think. 35 years later, 2 thirds of our life, we're still besties.
