Gene, his wife and dog found dead in their home. Maybe carbon monoxide, no idea yet. RIP one of the best actors of all time.

Didn't hear about the dog. Was thinking maybe foul play but if that's the case, yeah sounds like maybe carbon monoxide.

RIP. Still my favorite Lex Luthor

Definitely not one of those "too young" cases, but still, very sad...... will be missed. One of the last of the Golden Age actors, Clint Eastwood and maybe a few others (??) are still alive.

Mel Gibson? :lmao he's like barely 70. And Cage is 60. Golden Age hollywood actors refers to a specific era in time.

Prime is running a lot of his materiel this month. Started watching "The Poseidon Adventure" again last night, but fell asleep a 1/2 hour in. It's a little goofy a half-century on.

Also caught on to "Under Suspicion" from 2000 a couple years back and it stands repeated viewings without a problem. In fact it requires repeated looks to get the full effect of what has transpired and why.

Thomas Jane drives it quite nicely to a hard pitch.
Morgan Freeman is there at all times.
And the girl...Bellucci is at zenith and drop dead gorgeous. Sweet Jesus.
Hackman is great as he displays every emotion as we move along with him.

His finest moment though remains...in II. running does not scream, calls out..."Charnier."...to ground. & we're all finished.
