Yeah, I just stumbled across it on YTTV right after it started a little bit ago. When the OLineman pulls out his pistol and starts shooting the Porsche is freaking hilarious. [Reply]
God yes. I could name the women I've seen in my life who look better with short hair than long hair and have some fingers left over, but she's one of them. [Reply]

Still, everything else about it is awesome.
Davey held her from behind while she got cut. [Reply]
Please forgive me if this post is long, verbose and nonsensical…
I worked in showbiz for most of my adult life. And I’ve run into many more celebrities, “important” people throughout the years.
But I never met Gene Hackman.
And this guy….
Well, he’s a Marine, so for you guys out there that a piece of his life that’s important.
He’s very midwestern, from Danville, IL.
He was roommates with Dustin Hoffman and Robert Duvall. There are a million stories. Those three? Seriously? It’s real. Duvall was the poon hound. Dusty always trying to get the rest, and poor Gene working as a doorman, or other odd jobs…
Look at Gene Hackman’s films…. 40 years of excellence, and sure, a few bad ones, but that’s how the bills get paid.
This massive genius of acting, taking all of us into different worlds…. God bless this man…
And the worst thing…. This man who did everything…. He retired. And he’s been retired for 20 years. And this awful crap about the circumstances about his death is now gonna be a sadly part of this man’s life. Goddammit. Retire, go to Santa Fe, live your life until you’re 95, and then you have this shit. Basically everything he didn’t want. Love ya Gene. Dusty loves you and his stories are awesome.

Gene Hackman has passed away at 95 Gene going toe to toe with Denzel Washington in Crimson Tide (1995) is one of the most powerful scenes ever filmed. He was an absolute titan of cinema. We've lost an icon today. RIP Gene Hackman pic.twitter.com/tmgMRl7YlL
Betsy Arakawa, whose body was found on the floor of a bathroom in the couple’s home, likely died before her husband, said Dr. Heather Jarrell, chief medical investigator for the New Mexico Office of the Medical Investigator.
Arakawa was last observed alive on February 11, when she was captured on surveillance cameras visiting a local CVS pharmacy and dog food store before returning to her gated community, Santa Fe Sheriff Adam Mendoza said. February 11 is also the last day Arakawa had email communications.
Her husband, Gene Hackman, probably died on February 18, when his pacemaker last recorded his heartbeat, according to Jarrell.
“Based on the circumstances, it is reasonable to conclude that Ms. Arakawa passed away first,” Jarrell told reporters.
They are saying the wife died from hantavirus pulmonary syndrome that is caught from rodent droppings and urine?
