RIP Burt Reynolds

[Kwon]

Are you implying Burt had an encounter with Betty as well?

[Taffin]

Oddly enough, I've never seen that film.  Reynolds was, as far as I can recall, the first actor whose films were so fun that we simply referred to them as a "Burt Reynolds movie".   "Let's go see the new Reynolds flick!" was said a lot back in those days decades ago.



Hooper is a great get away from it all movie and one of his best!  I'm partial to the dark comedy, "The End".  Dom Deluise is superb in it!

Rest in peace to the owner of one of the finest 70s Porn Moustaches ever...Burt Reynolds.

Excellent taste Scott.  In a bizarre co-incidence about 10 days ago I downloaded the Blu-Ray of Hooper as it's also one of my faves - so it's popcorn time tomorrow

Never seen 'The End' so thanks for the tip

I never had the opportunity to meet nor work with Burt Reynods but he was one of only a handful of actors whom the stunt guys  and gals  totally respected.

RIP, Burt!

Cool dude,all around cool dude.

[IroNat]

He was the highest earning actor during his peak in the 70s.

82 years of age used to seem so far off.

I hear you.

when you think about how many years it is away from you, and then where you were that many years ago, it's a little unnerving

I liked the movie, read it in an article.

Wow. Never knew that, FREAKgeek.

[Desolate]

LOL.

I watched "Smokey and the Bandit" today and it's still a fun film!  I watched
"The End" last night and it too, is a fun movie.

Not too mention years of raw dogging and cream pie-ing a prime Lonnie Anderson.  RESPECT.

Following your suggestion, I tried this and yes, it is unnerving.

I'm 56 and if I am lucky will live until I am 85. That's about 30 years and 20 of those might be with a good quality of life. The last 10, questionable. My father lived a decent quality of life until 86 and passed at 88. It is what it is. I wouldn't trade my life now, with being retired, no bills, the opportunity to travel the world, with where I was at 20 years ago. I wouldn't want to go through that again. Ask me when I am 80 I will probably have a different answer

It is quite unnerving when we realize that no matter the length of time we are given that it (time) is in reality nothing more than a lit fuse.  Don't waste what you are given but rather spend it making that which cannot be taken from you even in death.   Memories of a lifetime with the one you love and who truly loved you.  You know whereof I speak...She who took your name when she gave you her heart.  I wish you well, sir.

Don't forget Cannonball Run!

It's now in the rotation, brother!  Thanks CalvinH!  Youse da Man!
