I loved “The End” but haven’t been able to find it to rent. Wasn’t that the movie where Candice Bergen was Burt’s ex and she is a horrible singer?

The Twelve Chairs was one of Brooks’ funniest movies.

Dom will continue to be one of my favorite actors and comedians. His spoof of The Godfather in Robin Hood: Men in Tights is one of my favorite comical movie scenes.

I thought of Chris Farley and History of World Pt.1 when I heard.

A funny, crazy man.

Watch later. He was a funny man. Back when funny was humor not the vile garbage 99% of so-called comedians produce.

You are right. Both those movies were pretty good. “The End” is where Burt swam out into the ocean to drown and then decided he really wanted to live, and his promises to God diminshed as he got closer to the beach. Too funny!

Yep, Burt made some great movies back then, I won’t even hold it against him that he’s an FSU grad.

One of my all time favorite actors. I just hope he knows in heaven that we never stopped loving him down here. RIP Dom...such sad sad news. Burt has to be devestated losing Jerry Reed and Dom all in a year's time.

Prayer to his family. Gosh it is like everyone I remember on TV from my childhood are rapidly existing. Guess that means I’m getting old. YIKES!

<I’m getting ready to ride the pale horse, myself.

Jebus, that’s a depressing thought.

Though I must admit to saying things to my son like, “You’ll miss me when I’m gone” and telling him where all my important papers are. One has to be realistic, but not depressed!

<Now he’s dancing with Gilda in heaven.

Priceless! I hadn’t seen that before.

I think of Gilda often, probably because I have to say “nevermind’ so much!

***I loved “The End” but haven’t been able to find it to rent. Wasn’t that the movie where Candice Bergen was Burt’s ex and she is a horrible singer?***

Sally Fields was in THE END. She was such a sloppy housekeeper that when Burt threatened to blow his brains all over the wall he said..” but then with these walls who would notice.” When Sally got him a drink of water in a jelly gar he said..”Ah you are supposed to wash the jelly out of the glass first!”

Then Burt and Dom in the asylum attempting suicide... WOW!

He could do drama, too. Check him out in "Failsafe." Very powerful.
