RIP

RIP Mr. B.I.G.

March 15, 2023March 15, 2023 / DBreitenbeck / 2 Comments

I just learned that Mr. Bert I. Gordon has passed away at the ripe age of 100. Those with even a passing knowledge of the sci-fi films of the 1950s do not need to be told about Mr. Gordon, nor those who grew up watching Mystery Science Theater 3000, of which he was a frequent … Continue reading RIP Mr. B.I.G.

TCM Remembers – 2022

January 1, 2023January 1, 2023 / DBreitenbeck / 2 Comments

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3IxrVWs80Zw The big one for me, of course, is Akira Takarada; the last major player, either in front of or behind the camera, from the original Godzilla. He was a mainstay of the series ever since, and I'll always be sorry that his cameo in the 2014 film was cut. Other notables include, of course, … Continue reading TCM Remembers – 2022

RIP Kevin Conroy

The definitive Batman has passed away at the all-too-young age of 66.

Tribute to Alan Young

August 20, 2022 / DBreitenbeck / Leave a comment

I made this after actor-comedian Alan Young's death in 2016, paying tribute to his two most famous roles. (Was looking through my old DeviantArt profile in preparation for starting it up again)

RIP Prof. Alice Von Hildebrand

January 15, 2022January 15, 2022 / DBreitenbeck / Leave a comment

I just learned that Prof. Alice Von Hildebrand, the Catholic philosopher and speaker and the second wife of the great Prof. Dietrich Von Hildebrand (who is one of my intellectual touchstones) has passed away at the age of 98. I actually had no idea she was still alive: I would have sworn that I'd heard … Continue reading RIP Prof. Alice Von Hildebrand

RIP Yaphet Kotto

March 21, 2021March 21, 2021 / DBreitenbeck / 2 Comments

As I've said many times, I'm a great fan of working character actors: the kind of professional performers who will never headline a marquee, but who show up again and again to deliver rock-solid performances in whatever role they're given. Recently I learned that one of the best of that breed has as last gone … Continue reading RIP Yaphet Kotto

TCM Remembers 2020

December 31, 2020 / DBreitenbeck / Leave a comment

Another year, another TCM Remembers, and my goodness, we lost some big ones this year. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NuVq-E3_KjE

RIP Sir Sean Connery

October 31, 2020October 31, 2020 / DBreitenbeck / 3 Comments

This is a big one, and a long time coming. Sir Sean Connery, the definitive James Bond and elder statesman actor for a generation has gone to his reward at the age of 90. "Goodbye, Mr. Bond" Sir Sean was an interesting figure on screen: one of the old school of actors who came from … Continue reading RIP Sir Sean Connery

RIP Chadwick Boseman: The First Fallen Avenger

August 30, 2020 / DBreitenbeck / Leave a comment

Really shocking news; Chadwick Boseman, most famous as T'Challa / Black Panther in the Marvel Cinematic Universe passed away on Friday August 27th from colon cancer at the age of 43. Apparently, he'd been battling the disease for four years. Which means, in retrospect, that most of his involvement in the MCU was done while … Continue reading RIP Chadwick Boseman: The First Fallen Avenger

RIP John Saxon

July 30, 2020July 30, 2020 / DBreitenbeck / Leave a comment

At the same time that the last leading lady of old Hollywood passed away, another veteran actor joined the great majority. Most people probably don't recognize the name John Saxon, but I guarantee you know some of his films. Saxon was one of those reliable character actors who throve in the world of B-pictures, with … Continue reading RIP John Saxon
