Donward Posted August 29, 2016 Report Share Posted August 29, 2016 This August is not a good month for remaining Blazing Saddles alumni. Character actor David Huddleston who was townsman Olsen Johnson died on August 16. Of course he was also the Big Lebowski. It looks like the only actors left alive from the movie are Mel Brookes himself. And... Let's see... Dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead... Mel Brooks and the chick who played the busty red-haired secretary are the only ones left. And one of the female townspeople. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donward Posted August 29, 2016 Report Share Posted August 29, 2016 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W8GRQHsAVjI And other than Blazing Saddles, like most folks, Young Frankenstein - Franken-STEEN - were my favorite Gene Wilder flicks.

Donward Posted November 12, 2016 Report Share Posted November 12, 2016 I didn't know that Robert Vaughn was still alive. http://www.cnn.com/2016/11/11/entertainment/robert-vaughn-dead/index.html And while it is customary to laud an actor for his great performances, in Vaughn's case "The Man From U.N.C.L.E.", "Magnificent Seven" and "Bullitt", it is fitting at Sturgeon's House that we remember their more entertaining performances. The first movie I remember watching Vaughn in was of course Superman III. Yeah. The 1980s were so fucking insane that Richard Prior was in a Superman movie.

Donward Posted November 25, 2016 Report Share Posted November 25, 2016 Since the girls and boys of that house weren't blood related, you know they were having tons of sex. In real life, Henderson was banging the actor who played the oldest Brady boy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donward Posted December 19, 2016 Report Share Posted December 19, 2016 The IMDB trivia page claims that it is a "TF 5 rocket" based on the Kraut V2 rockets tested by the US Army in 1952. http://m.imdb.com/title/tt0052104/trivia?ref_=m_tt_trv_trv Pretty futuristic design to be able to launch a manned flight to Venus in 1985.

Donward Posted December 29, 2016 Report Share Posted December 29, 2016 So I guess somebody did a send-up of the Sgt. Pepper's album cover featuring dead 2016 celebrities. https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/uknews/2175732/mock-up-of-the-beatles-sgt-pepper-album-cover-pays-tribute-to-celebs-who-died-in-2016-but-how-many-can-you-name/ Although my eye is twitching with how the Sun describes George Kennedy as being famous for the Naked Gun and Airplane! movies. No, assclowns. He was in the Airport disaster movies and he was famous long before Naked Gun. Also, portraying Alan Rickman in the Harry Potter role instead of Hans Gruber shows a disturbing lack of Christmas spirit. Also, also, the Brits must have never heard of Merle Haggard. Which is their fucking loss. Also, also, also, seeing Brexit and the MAGA hat warms my cuckolds of my heart. And yes I intentionally used the word cuckolds since it fits.
