I saw Lady In A Cage a few years ago on TCM. It was his first credited film role. He plays a robber who terrorizes a disabled woman who is stuck in her cage elevator during a power failure. Joan Crawford was supposed to star but it ended up going or Olivia De Havilland. Kind of trashy and made for shock value. But it's a pretty interesting concept.

WHAT DO YA HEAR
WHAT DO YA SAY
Fucking RIP this is a real one. Tony was a great actor and a pretty funny guy from what i've seen in interviews. What a damn shame.

You know, Quasimodo predicted all this.
In all seriousness, this was awful news to wake up to. At least he’s back with Gandolfini and Frank Vincent.

Comedy actor Larry Storch has passed away at 99. If you enjoy old-timey TV, you might have seen him in a quite a lot of TV shows and heard him in quite a lot of cartoons. Hell of a run he had.
I've also just learned that he attempted to post videos on TikTok and was apparently harrassed by shithead zoomers, further proving that anyone born after the 90s shouldn't be alive. Ah, well. RIP Larry.

I agree. My sister had a bad reaction to it and so did my dad. My mom is one mean/tough woman... She's so tough that she literally said " GO AWAY!!! I ain't getting sick!" She got herd immunity instead from being exposed to my sister.
And as stated before I have not taken the Jab yet because of shoved out to the population without proper trials. I'll take the flu shot and do so every year but the Jab... right now NOPE!

I would not risk taking the flu shot, no way to be sure its not the c19 vaxx. I'm sorry about your dad/sister. I hope they stopped taking more shots. God Bless you and them.

You can tell he lived a great life at 94 when something like this was parodied many times in iconic ways.

He quite literally created the sound for an entire genre.
Most spy related properties will have some form of twangy guitar riff now.

I've been sitting on this for a while not knowing where to share this, but it seems to have been somewhat lost to time and I think many people would be interested in it.
There's a website called 'The Blog of Death', started in 2003.
From it's about page:
The Blog of Death is a Weblog featuring obituaries of the famous, infamous and interesting unknowns.
Each obit is written by Jade Walker, a New Hampshire-based journalist with a passion for life stories. As the overnight editor of The New York Times on the Web, she published the Obits page and spent a year producing the Portraits of Grief, a collection of obits for the victims of the Sept. 11th terror attacks. When she was the editor of Inscriptions Magazine, Walker compiled the popular R.I.P. section of writer obits.
Since its debut in June 2003, The Blog of Death has published 1,600+ obituaries and 28,000+ tributes.
Essentially it's an obituary site that logged the deaths of people, from obscure community figures, to celebrities and politicians. It has a massive amount of obituaries that would have otherwise been lost to time.
The really fascinating part of this is that because the site is early Web 2.0 it seems to have been pretty well trafficked at the time, and so the comments of these obituaries (especially in the earlier stages of the site) are often inhabited by people who personally knew the deceased. Sometimes they're paying their respects, other times distant family members reconnect through the page, and so on. I initially stumbled upon the site because I was trying to find information on Drake Sather, a comedian who committed suicide in 2004 who was brought to my attention after I learned Norm Macdonald was his close friend. In the comments of his obituary on the site there's 59 comments, many of which are from people who were friends, worked with, or had met Drake. It's an incredibly fascinating and raw time capsule of who he was, or at least how others perceived him. In an internet age where everything is farmed for clout and attention the comments on these posts are often very soul-bearing.
Most of the obituaries that I've read (I haven't come close to reading them all) have at least one person who personally knew the deceased. I highly recommend if you have an evening to spare just going through the posts one-by-one and reading the comments of those who knew them.

Thank you. She did experience that slight case of Brain Fog as well as a lot of pain around the injection site. It took about 6 months to clear up.
