Incredible news! Another great actor dies young and unexpected. Robin Williams wasn't as young as Heath Ledger, but 63 can be still on the peak of his life. It is stated on NBC Blog that he battled demons decades before his death. Born in Chicago, on July 21, 1951, he was one of the most talented actors on screen. [source] Talented are plenty and the tastes are plenty too. Like Ledger, he won an Oscar for supporting role, but he received it in person. I read (and unfortunately it is … [Read more...]
Very Shortly on Phillip Seymour Hoffman
I still can't believe Phillip Seymour Hoffman is dead. Anyway, maybe not like this, but he was not alone. Oh, he felt alone, that's for sure, and if you want to blame addiction, you have to think twice, because his death seems to be a frame, logically based on previous "facts". I do not subscribe to this kind of trash. I think that what he said in that interview on "60 Minutes" (“It was all that [drugs and alcohol], yeah. It was anything I could get my hands on . . . I liked it all..”), and … [Read more...]
Peter O’Toole Is Gone
I found with deep regret that Peter O'Toole left us as well. He was sick and bored, so there's no big fuss. The difference between him and Paul Walker is that Peter O'Toole will live forever in out hearts, and I'm also sure that it's not just a matter of tastes. Peter O'Toole was born in 1932. The date of his birth is not known, he claimed at a time that he may have been born in June, so we can consider him a Gemini, more than a Cancer. He became prominent as a Shakespearean actor, before his … [Read more...]
Good Bye, Paul Walker
It happens without my will! This category, created for news and stuff like that, makes the obituaries more than anything else. I'll try to change that in the future. I know Paul Walker before the movie that made him famous, The Fast and the Furious. I noticed him in The Skulls, in 2000 and only after that, in the movie co stared with Vin Diesel. He was good, but not extraordinary. Very good for the roles he acted. He was good looking as well. On November 30, 2013, Walker and a 38 years old … [Read more...]
Tony Soprano Is Dead
This can't happen. James Gandolfini, known the most for his mobster boss impersonation, died in Italy after a heart attack. I couldn't believe when I found out, because the guy was incredibly young, 51 is not an age to say good bye. One of my favorite actors, James Gandolfini already made history. Contrary with the violent but cool Tony Soprano, he was a pacifist in real life. Raised and lived in New Jersey, he will be remembered in his neighborhood as the tough guy who save a woman from being … [Read more...]
John Pilger’s Chavez
Yesterday I was so busy, I couldn't find my head through the things to be done on time. But today is another day, and finally I'm under less stress. The only bad news are that Hugo Chávez died, the rest can wait. I remember two documentaries made on Chávez, by two different colored channels. One was somehow in the grand finance sponsored line, where Chávez was clearly presented as an antidemocratic Khmer Rouge dictator who obviously doesn't know left from right, and the other one was made by the … [Read more...]
