Or is Redacted's left-wing bigotry such an attraction to you that it's impossible to let it go, even after it's already dead and buried?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12917687.post-79751594701211250642008-03-28T15:24:00.000-04:002008-03-28T15:24:00.000-04:00If I may, I'd like to add my own thoughts to the fond farewells aimed at Richard Widmark...<BR/><BR/>http://arbogastonfilm.blogspot.com/2008/03/last-movie-star.htmlARBOGASThttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12670776992289080245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12917687.post-54806724343152426672008-03-27T15:37:00.000-04:002008-03-27T15:37:00.000-04:00Re: #1<BR/><BR/>Many thanks for the link! I wish I had more time to write a more indepth piece about Richard Widmark, but I wanted to mention something about his passing since he's one of my favorite actors. A lot of contemporary actors (Christopher Walken, Willem Dafoe, etc.) owe a thing or two to Widmark.cinebeatshttp://cinebeats.blogsome.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12917687.post-88437049126620437492008-03-27T10:56:51.169-04:002008-03-27T10:56:51.169-04:00#1: Wow, the remaining members of the old guard are dropping like flies. I was a big fan of Widmark (I wrote about his perf in No Way Out last month at BMV), and I remember covering my eyes as a little kid when he pushed that old lady down the stairs in Kiss of Death. His mixture of charm and menace is creepy in that Christopher Walken way (or should I reverse that sentence), and that's one of the things I loved about him.odienatorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10926978706604468636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12917687.post-70967646043901068902008-03-27T10:28:00.000-04:002008-03-27T10:28:00.000-04:00Re #1: I caught the middle of the night Sci Fi rerun of X-Files "Requiem" last night, where Smoking Man pays deep homage to Richard Widmark. Would love to think a programmer aired that episode deliberately, or it is a remarkable coincidence.M.A.Peelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12149683683413237283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12917687.post-42349189810644080712008-03-27T09:03:00.000-04:002008-03-27T09:03:00.000-04:00*a commedia dell’arte version<BR/><BR/>Because the lack of an indefinite article makes Baby Jebus cry.Ali Arikanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02293558856795196349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12917687.post-40095312679031143522008-03-27T05:17:00.000-04:002008-03-27T05:17:00.000-04:00Re: #4<BR/><BR/>Eventhough the kid is a bit mad and breaking the law, his father seem to be an ignorant guy - imagine saying that about your son, and not at all acknowledge you're the one who maybe should've given him some attention.
