You could try watching the news reports today where they actually explained what he was famous for. That might be a good start.

Are you so self obsessed that you think you're the only one who knows who he is?

Yes he just died, but he lived to a ripe old age and had a grand old time working right up until he did. Yes he's a screen legend, but fucks sake he was 93. Good effort I say.

And anyway, people were more ripping the piss out of your overblown reaction at the start of the thread.

He also wouldn't give a fig if folk did daft gags - nobody is doing it with spite. To quote the Scots colloquial: if we didn't like you, we wouldn't take the mick.

No, but a bunch of cunts come in here ripping the piss out of someone talented who just died, so I take it they don't know or they'd have something useful to say.

Nah, he was a dancing monkey who was put on a stage at 18 months of age and never looked back for 90 years.
I suppose if you really appreciate "Cinema" he may be a big cheese, but bigger people have died.

Fair enough. But I'm sure at least 50% of the forum don't know who he is.

Why that matters I don't know. Probably doesn't

And most folk probably think Jack Lemmon was a funny guy who only did daft comedy stuff whereas he was excellent in stuff like "Glengarry Glen Ross", "The China Syndrome" and my personal favourite, " Save The Tiger". People are people, simple as that.

@jablonski Just because you enjoy and appreciate a particular art form more than others doesn't make the rest of society and their opinion invalid - same as how your opinion remains valid unless you use it to harm others.

Sometimes I weep at night thinking that some uniformed wretches have only watched Alec Guinness in Star Wars. They'll never know the true beauty of his performance in Bridge on the River Kwai. Why? Why is the world like this? Oh god here I go again.

Despite his awful wig, he was excellent in "Tunes of Glory" and his work on "Dr Zhivago" was immaculate - then again, I do love that film.

RIP. One of the great entertainers.

I met him once in Gstaad. He told me that his dream was to write a Dadaist opera about Gillian McKeith.

As far as I am aware, he never did.

RIP Mickey

Yep, RIP. Shouldn't disrespect the dead. Unless they were a wastrel, like.
