The Rest In Peace (RIP) Thread

So why the German shepherd and not the other two dogs still running around outside?
I read that the front door to the house was left open. Maybe they intended for the dog to get out, but for some reason the dog ended up exposing itself to the killing agent, whatever it was.

If it was double suicide, I think the wife did it. Under this theory, Gene was failing and she could see that she would soon be facing the grief and loneliness of widowhood, possibly including watching him suffer before the end. She may have decided to skip all that.

I highly doubt he would have gone along with her killing herself, so it would have had to have been her as the instigator. That would make it a murder-suicide rather than double suicide.
 
Are there even masculine white men like Gene Hackman (6'2", Anglo-Pennsylvania Dutch descent, non-nepotist) acting in movies anymore?

I think most of them have retreated from the industry.

Tommy Lee Jones is one of the few of that type still working, albeit infrequently, and he smartly keeps a low political profile (he endorsed Gore, but that was his college roommate at Harvard).

Surprisingly, despite the Kylo Ren character, Adam Driver fits this profile. He is 6'2", the son of a Baptist preacher from Indiana. He is 100% white, no jewish blood, and he served as a US Marine. Currently age 41.

John Krasinski is another. He's from Boston, with an Polish father, Irish mother, raised Catholic. 6' 3", age 45. He studied English and Theatre straight out of high school, so that makes him kind of a weenie, but he's been playing masculine roles lately.

It's still fairly rare. There've been times a few years back when I considered this question and couldn't think of anyone. Also, I can't think of any younger actors that fit this profile at the moment.

The answer is, no not in Hollywood. Even in "foreign" cinema these types are being weeded out unfortunately.

I guess you'll have to look at Russian cinema which is primarily masculine, even Japanese. (We're going off topic here though)

Randy Quaid is a terrible source for accurate information.

See here under the "legal issues" section:
Agreed -- Randy is losing it despite the fact he has called out how evil Hollywood is. We will never know what really happened to Hackman, his wife and their dog. Whole thing stinks.


It is no secret Hollywood's been secretly whacking famous celebrities over the years. (((They))) use the (((media))) as a cover to make up fake stories - i.e., bring up child/sex trafficking? DRUG OVERDOSED! Talk about child molesters and pedophilias? DEATH BY SUICIDE VIA HANGING ON A DOORKNOB! Sexually abused by a powerful Hollywood bigwig? SUICIDE BY JUMPING OFF AN 18TH FLOOR BALCONY!

Huh? Maybe he's losing it because everybody is claiming he's losing it because he's saying what you're saying which is the truth and yet everyone is calling him a liar. Stating uncomfortable truths and being called a liar is enough to drive anyone crazy.

An unexpected outcome! I still don't know what happened to the dog. Edit: The comments say the dog was in a crate. Possibly left there unknowingly to die.



Apparently this "medically certified" different and separate time of death of both his wife and him hugely benefited his kids, because he had made a last will and testament leaving everything to his wife if he died first, and disinheriting his kids completely....and his wife in turn had her own will leaving all to charity.

But now that she has been "certified" to have died first, Hackman's will can't be executed the way it was written, and his children automatically and very conveniently become the legitimate heirs of his whole fortune.

Funny how it all worked out perfectly for them, and they now get 80 MILLION dollars.

Very sad to hear about Foreman’s passing. All joking aside, he may have done more to help the average American with his grill than many doctors. If nothing else, he got the average person thinking about how they cook their food. Also, regarding his naming all of his sons “George” he does raise a valid point:

On his website, Foreman explains, "I named all my sons George Edward Foreman so they would always have something in common. I say to them, 'If one of us goes up, then we all go up together, and if one goes down, we all go down together!'"

We can argue about it, but if more fathers had a similar attitude then maybe America wouldn’t be in the state it’s currently in.

I am a huge fan of Foreman, but NEVER cut the fat out! 🤣 No/low fat is and was a scam. 👍

Wow, all this time I thought Adam Driver was a jew. I also Michael Cera was a Jew and Jeff Bezos, but now that I look them up, I can't find anything.
