RIP Michael Clarke Duncan

Langly

whoa, this really took me by surprise. He was so young, damn

Meiz

The little mouse lives on.

It's a shame, he was a wonderful human being.

No word of a lie, we were having the strangest powercuts last night. The lights flickered, everything blinked off for a second, then all came back on. Just kept on happening. Then I read John Coffey had died, and, there we go.

Driving to work this morning they talked about him passing away. Than they played a clip of him speaking from Green Mile and afterwards all the anchors started crying.

And it was at this point that I was a complete mess in my car, crying on the freeway.

UnbreakableVow

I have yet to see The Green Mile, despite having a copy in my possession

Think I'll do that this weekend

Zonugal

Get ready for weaponized sadness.

I feel a bit better now. Michael Clark Duncan might be dead, but at least Chuck is too.

TheStig

Just had a dream I was at a party and Michael Clarke Duncan was there

RT800

Pffft. That clip is so stupid.

She's a trained agent, yet she just lets the dude walk up to her and knock the gun from her hand.

TheStig

Well she's still a woman.

T4CT

i basically exclusively know him from Daredevil

and I am still sad

TheStig

You should watch sin city.

UnbreakableVow

I feel really bad that I don't remember him at all in Sin City

But then I remember that I really disliked Sin City

Seriously racking my brain trying to figure out where he was in it

Douglas

He's in Clive Owen's story about the whores.

He's got an eyepatch and a silly hat.

He plays like half the characters, it's pretty amazing.

Franko

this was my dad's favourite black guy
he is all torn up about it

TheStig

My patient in the hospital today saw this on the news and was all upset over it. My patient had a swastika tattoo. Even nazis liked Michael Clarke Duncan.

Congratulations on being kind of racist.

I love most of the shit you pitch around here, but Tiny Lister absolutely does bear a resemblance to Michael Clarke Duncan, and it's more than just being black.

Antimatter

speaking of Tiny Lister, holy cow
http://www.latimes.com/business/money/la-fi-mo-actor-tommy-tiny-lister-in-big-trouble-with-feds-20120831,0,5215681.story

Prosecutors accused Lister and five other people — a real estate agent, a mortgage loan officer, a bank manager, an escrow officer and an accountant — of using falsified records to help Lister unlawfully acquire four homes for $5.7 million.

Lister, who lives in Chatsworth, defaulted on the loans. Banks later sold them at a loss of more than $2.6 million, the U.S. attorney’s office said in a news release.

Lister was also accused of sumbitting falsified W-2 forms and a fake pay stub in his application for the home equity lines of credit.

He agreed to plead guilty in federal court in Los Angeles to conspiracy to commit mortgage fraud, a charge that carries a maximum sentence of five years in prison. He has not yet entered a plea.

I guess that explains how he ended up on that ferry then.

I guess that's why people are always getting Robert Deniro and Mandy Patinkin confused.

Tube

Oh wait they don't because those two similar looking men are white

UnbreakableVow

My only frame of reference for Mandy Patinkin is The Princess Bride in which he looks absolutely nothing like Robert De Niro

Moriveth

I always thought Mandy Patinkin was a lady before I saw him in any movie he was in

Kochikens

Mandy Patinkin was amazing in Dead Like Me.

Moriveth

Mandy Patinkin is pretty rad in general.

ChicoBlue

My favourite part of Homeland was when Mandy Patinkin sat down at his desk with his peanut butter and crackers and realized he didn't have a knife to spread the peanut butter, so he uses a ruler instead.

Up until I was ten years old or so I couldn't tell the difference between Kevin Bacon and Patrick Swayze or Kevin Costner and Harrison Ford. Although the latter pair was more I couldn't remember their names.

After seeing Watchmen, my brother remarked how good a job Robert Downey Jr. did as the Comedian.

From the trailer I thought it was RDJ, I think some of my friends still thought it was him even after seeing the movie

the guy who actually played him, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, is much better celebrity twins with Javier Bardem

Chimera

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo why do all the cool ones have to die so early?!
