Im looking for that young kid that died...i could swear I went to high school with him or something....saw his face, he looked familiar, and got a quick look, but didnt catch his name.
He would be <34
Thanks for tonights thread Hostess.
It was good to see you again.
And good for it...clearly (IMHO), the best picture of the year.
uh. hm.
My dial up is WAY too slow to look through everyone of those....oh well....thanks anyways.
Ethan’s two speeches were classics.
Ethan? As in Coen? It can’t be Ethan Edwards... What was said?
Nope, just showed his picture in the obituary segment. They put him last.
G’nite, all. I could watch this palp without FReepers.
:P
I couldn’t get through that one. What a shock this is and I don’t think deserved.
Just go to www.imdb.com and look up the movie(s) he was in. Then match his picture/name to the list of people who have died.

My recollection is that Ethan Coen said “Thanks.” The second time, he said he didn’t have anything more to say than the first one.
They did many of my favorite movies.
Blood Simple
Raising Arizona
Fargo
Barton Fink
Miller’s Crossing
The Big Lebowski
I haven’t seen it yet, but will definitely watch it when it comes to one of the premium channels.
S/B could NOT
Time for bed.
It is also pretty well known that Travolta’s son, Jett, is austic. It has been speculated that they keep him pretty much hidden because of it, Scientology of course doesn’t recognize such a “disorder”. His daughter Ella Blue is making a movie with him soon but you never ever see Jett.
It sure was good to see you again, too. I laughed a lot at all of these comments tonight. You guys are funny!
