RIP "Popeye..."

[sirhrmechanic]

No fans of Mississippi Burning?

I LOVE that movie... and, another one that I forgot he was in!

He played one of the old dinosaur FBI agents against Willem Dafoe's "new age" attorney Kennedy-hire. Who were the agents that Hoover HATED. But had to hire because of Bobby.

An utterly superb film. Also had a great role by R. Lee Ermey, as well. Francis McDormand, too.

Thanks for that... I totally forgot to add that one in! I need to go look at IMDB, because I bet there are a ton of films that I've forgotten. Again... a tribute to an actor that is so good... you forget he was acting.

So went to IMDB and here are some movies I love... And didn't remember Gene Hackman is in!

Absolute Power (1997)
Wyatt Earp (1994)
The Firm (1993) An incredible movie!
Class Action (1991)
Loose Cannons (1990)
Target (1985)
Under Fire (1983) Sleeper film... good!
March or Die (1977)
Bonnie and Clyde (1967) Bit part.


There are more, I am sure. But, yeah, like Clint Eastwood.... in just about everything I liked. And a lot of what I liked he was in!

It’s been ages since I watched that movie. It had been on one of the steaming services lately. Maybe need to watch it again

When I am scrolling through the retard shit that is any kind of directory....

Eventually up comes Mississippi Burning

There is a lot of historical BS. But as a film that captures the real zeitgeist of the era.. few compare.

And Gene Hackman does great.

@sirhrmechanic

my dad had it on VHS some odd years ago. He still has an affliction for VHS tapes and has a pile of three at the house. So much so, we bought him a combo vcr/dvd player a few years ago cause his old vhs player died

 

[Jefe's Dope]

The Royal Tenenbaums was one of my favorites.

 

[UKDslayer]

It could be CO. They where using a space heater.

Is the space heater reported somewhere?

Another Update: Newsmax is reporting that the "Authorities" are ready to call the deaths "Suspicious" and are launching an appropriate investigation.

Great actor! Reading some of the posts here reminding me of just how many good movies he was in, long list.
Terrible crime if at 95 someone killed him. Wife and dog dead too, sounds very suspicious.

 

[Maser]

So no signs of natural or CO gas detected. Kinda figured that due to gas leaks being easily detected during an investigation.

 

[fpgt72]

Carbon monoxide is a silent killer. If you are awake and about inside a building with it you get a bulging headache that should tell you but when sleeping you'll never know.

Seen the aftermath of a guy that ran the car in the garage with the door down. Guess he changed his mind somewhere along the way as he tore off his finger nails trying to get out. The body was just gross, and he was only there two days

CO is a toxic gas, whereas CO2 is a non-toxic gas. CO poisoning is not a pleasent way to die contrary to those who say you just peacefully go to sleep.

 

[Big Phish]

High concentration or saturation of CO2 can be toxic as well. Make you nauseous.

 

[Sniperwannabee]

I was curious what he looked like in his 90s, since he dropped out of the spotlight way back in 2008.

https://nypost.com/2024/03/29/entertainment/gene-hackman-94-wife-betsy-arakawa-62-first-public-outing-together-in-decades-photos/

I would not have recognized him even sitting at the next table in that restaurant.

Wow looks totally different

If you have not seen Young Frankenstein… you need to take a vacation from SH and not come back until you have binge watched it at least 9 times!!!

I liked many of his movies but "Enemy of the State" most readily comes to mind.

I haven't seen it either, but I do have a reason why. From what I gather you have to see the 3 actual Frankenstein movies before seeing Young Frankenstein in order to get all the jokes. I have no desire to ever watch the 2nd and 3rd again. Bride was trash and Son was trash filled with shit. The 1st is the classic.

Just finished “Mississippi burning” for about the hundredth time…..

High concentration or saturation of CO2 can be toxic as well. Make you nauseous.

Correct. We SCUBA divers who use "Rebreather" devices (with a "closed loop") have to worry about that. Part of the function of a Rebreather and the use of a "Closed loop" is that the machine should be scrubbing out the CO2 you exhale and replacing it with O2. You don't need that much O2 to replace, so a smaller tank can extend your dive by hours, literally. But if it's not working right, and the CO2 builds up in the loop, it could be fatal. The more the CO2, the less the urge to breathe, the greater the chance of death (same logic behind using a paper bag to assist with hyperventilation). You have to know when to switch to your "BOG" (Bail-Out-Gas) and do so quickly.

BTW, I mentioned "Poseidon Adventure" as it had a strong ensemble cast including, Ernest Borgnine, Shellley Winters (who actually swam like a pro underwater), Stella Stevens (who played Borgnine's wife), Carol Linley (who first sang "There's Got to be a Morning After"), Red Buttons, (who played Shelly Winters' husband), Leslie Nielsen as the ship's Captain, and a very... very young Pamela Sue Martin (first movie in which I saw her). All of these actors had to swim underwater for a bit.... including Pamela.... in her underware.... Hmmmmmmmm....

RIP…

Great actor and while he always said he was a lousy Marine… he did lie about his age to get into the Corps at 16!!

Loved his movies…. The Conversation and it s “sort of” sequel Enemy of the People….

The Package… Unforgiven… No Way Out. French Connection…

So many amazing movies!

Sad to hear of his passing.

Sad he's passed. His movies sucked in general...
