“Cut the crap. Gimme a drink”

Both Mr. AND Mrs. Wormer are now gone... sigh.

RIP

And Flounder and Bluto...

Had Belushi not killed himself with drugs, an Animal House sequel was in the works.

[NFHale]

Flounder too???

Damn... he was a legacy....

[fieldmarshaldj]

Had he gotten clean, we’d have had scores of classic movies he’d have made, or improved on the ones that ultimately were cast with others. He’d have been in “Ghostbusters” for starters, “Spies Like Us”, etc. Would’ve done some good dramatic stuff, too, which we knew he had the ability for. It’s a damn shame.

[Jack Hammer]

Gorgeous and talented.

The time has come for someone to put his foot down. And that foot is me.

"After Hours" is hilarious and massively underrated - great cast and directed by Martin Scorsese.

Verna Bloom ("June") was so perfect in that role....as was Griffin Dunne ("Paul").

June : Why are you doing this?
Paul Hackett : What?
June : You flirt with me. You share your cigarette with me. You dance with me. You're nice to me. Why are doing this?
Paul Hackett : I want - to live.

Just saw where Carol Channing died also. Who will be three?

[bankwalker]

I think if he had gotten clean most of his talent would’ve gone by the wayside.

[fieldmarshaldj]

That’s too cynical. Drugs didn’t give him the talent, he had it already.
