RIP - guess who didn't die?

[temery]

It's still cracks me up to see actors and actresses who were old when I was a kid still being alive 50 years later.

Who did the list miss? Anyone here > 90?

I think we can swap William Shatner for Harrison Ford, who doesn’t really belong on that list. Brooks is the ultimate to me. His career started in the late 40’s and he is still active and working on new projects. It’s unbelievable.

Woody Allen is still alive and has a movie coming out in the fall.

 

[Mister P]

Carol Burnett and Joan Collins…. both 92.

These lists always overlook the younger riskier options. Give me an Artie Lange and Britney Spears along with Dick Van Dyke three legger.

Ford definitely belongs on the list. He's already cheated death by doing stupid old man stuff'- crashed a few airplanes over the past decade.

It's a list of old people, not a Deadpool.

Didn't the BY have a running Deathpool for a while?
It would reset with every celeb death?

Bob Cousy "Blue Chips" turns 97 this weekend.

Someone wants to do a Deadpool they're gonna have to do it through a DM that's fine. This is a list of people who should be on the list of still living, but you just wouldn't have thought about it.

What's the difference?

I'm happy to see that some of my favorites are still alive. You're likely disappointed that they didn't die in your death pool.

I would say I'm indifferent to whether they're alive or dead.

BBC used to put 5-10 years between their Earth projects with David Attenborough - now, they're doing like one a week to try to beat the reaper and get some of them in the can.

William Daniels was in an odd modernized adaptation with Keri Russell & Dan Cortese (seriously) of "The Lottery" by Shirley Jackson.

I showed it to nearly every high school class I ever taught, such a great bad movie.

Seriously. Shatner looks and sounds the same at 93 as he did back in Boston Legal, except with a Buddah belly now.

Brooks is still sharp, but unlike Shatner, he looks every bit of 99. I don't know who he eats dinner with since Carl Reiner died, but Brooks and Dick Van Dyke ought to get together and do something.

 

[prankster]

I don't want to go in the cart. I'm not dead yet. I'm feeling better. I'd like to go for a walk.

 

[prankster]

BTW, in the Dead Pool I dabble in, Violet Hensley is my pick. As she has been for the past 3 fruitless years.

The tenacity of this woman is positively infuriating.

Funny story, a young filmmaker was trying to put together a documentary on the old Horn and Hardnett automats. She reached out to every famous person who ever mentioned the automat. One of whom was Mel Brooks. In instead of ignoring her, or even giving her the polite quote or two that she was looking for, he completely spearheaded the project connected her with people and even narrated the documentary.

The funny part is that she already had a narrator, a member of the Horn family. She basically threw all but like 5 seconds of his stuff out and replaced him with Mel Brooks. He was very excited about "becoming a movie star" (tongue-in-cheek). I was with him at a showing and afterwards I said "what happened?" And he said "that damn Mel Brooks happened. You can't beat Mel Brooks!" Basically Mel Brooks is his Newman.

You can watch the trailer for it here:

The Automat (2021) ⭐ 7.8 | Documentary, History

1h 19m | TV-PG

It was a pretty good documentary and it amazed me how many people she got to come on and talk about automats, everyone from Mel Brooks, to Colin Powell, to Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

TLDR: Mel Brooks is still around, still sharp, and very generous with this time.

Had breakfast with Shatner last August at the Sagamore in Lake George. Dude is on point.
