RIP Robert Duvall

[King Bob]

Surprised there was no thread for this. I guess DM's birthday was all anyone could think about.

I always liked him. He turned up in odd places occasionally and was good. And no one our age can forget him in Apocalypse Now.

A downer on my birthday… thst and the Iran bombing. 

I was listening to the radio about the bombing coming home from Kung fu and a crow chased a field mouse into the intersection where I was at a stoplight. It was promptly run over and I could see its tail flipping about in death throw reflexes. Trying not to interpret that as an inauspicious omen.

[King Bob]

Maybe it was an omen about crushing your enemies

Duvall died over a week ago, before Robert Carradine and Martin Short's daughter died.

[Drunk Monk]

Maybe KB is unstuck in time

Or maybe Greg iz shackled by it.

The fact that he was in THX-1138 which seemed pretty experimental always made me think that he was interested in trying new things. I mostly remember him from that and The Great Santini

I know I was late, but since it was never posted...

His greatest film roll was in The Killer Elite.
