Now Tuco’s gone along with Angel Eyes.

Blondie’s the only one left.

RIP, I’ll be blaring the “Good/Bad/Ugly” soundtrack today...

Yes, amen.

This makes me angry. I’m gonna get my whip, oil it and teach Toby not to be the bearer of bad news.

RE Wallach:
He was blessed with a good, long life, had a great career, and influenced many people in the course of it.

His soul can look back now and say “I’ve run my race...and won it.”

We all go eventually; we should all hope to leave something good behind us in the course of our time here.

It’s a UK based site so there are lot of British people on it.

He was an old man when Concetta Corleone poisoned his cannoli.
