Haha, I didn't even notice the Harris. Good eye per usual. What are the flippin odds, mang? He had the distinction of being an even more stereotypical racist heel than The Slickster/Slck, aka The Earl Of Style.

The pronunciation of the wrestler Kamala Harris' name lives on with Tucker Carlson tho. He isn't interested in learning how to pronounce Kamala the VP.

That way sounds better anyway.

Brimley was a master at playing a certain band of characters, from evil to gruff but decent. I didn’t like him much when you was younger, but I came to appreciate him later (setting aside the annoying oatmeal and diabeetus ads) in much the same way as I came to enjoy Robert Duvall. His passing leaves a hole in the world where there should be a portly, plainspoken but nice guy who filled countless films and TV shows with just the right touch. Life is a journey of losing things, and the surprising part is when you realize that Wilfred Brimley is one of the things you’ve lost and miss.

Well-said.

Also, Robert Duvall is great. My 2 favorite roles of his are probably Boss Spearman in Open Range and Harry in Days Of Thunder. But he seems believable in a role whether he's in the Old West, as a cop or soldier, as a Southerner, a judge or lawyer, a smarmy reporter, doesn't matter. Extremely underrated imo.

Oh yeah, I wasn’t implying that Duvall was anything less than a great actor, merely that his style was not my cup of tea in younger years but it grew on me.
