almost no Americans under 45 have seen Caine's career-making British films

I'VE never seen The Italian Job

Huh, I didn't realize Jaws IV was a British film.

yeah that made his career in its third decade

I can remember Jaws 3, because of watching it in 3d. But Jaws 4 completely escapes my memory.

― calzino, Friday, 4 August 2017 13:37 (eight years ago)

Was that the Smell-o-vision one?

― weird echo of the falsies (Tom D.), Friday, 4 August 2017 13:43 (eight years ago)

just 3d as I recall. But very bad 3d, like when a harpoon was coming out of the screen at you it would split into 3!

― calzino, Friday, 4 August 2017 13:45 (eight years ago)

I meant 4, where do you after 3d?

― weird echo of the falsies (Tom D.), Friday, 4 August 2017 13:47 (eight years ago)

ah, scratch n' sniff some Caine :p

― calzino, Friday, 4 August 2017 13:49 (eight years ago)

IV was the one where the shark followed a family halfway around the world for the sake of revenge and then jumped all the way out of the water and roared like a lion.

RIP Jawx

The only scratch and sniff movie that I know of is John Waters' Polyester

No, it's the one with "The Italian Job" star Benny Hill.

Yeah, just posted that on Facebook--beautiful record.

― clemenza, Tuesday, 8 August 2017 20:52 (eight years ago)

RIP what a voice

Yup. I liked what Springsteen said about the strength of his presentation in the documentary, can't remember the exact wording though.

― Barkis Garvey (James Redd and the Blecchs), Tuesday, 8 August 2017 20:55 (eight years ago)

One of those guys famous for so many years for stuff he did long after early stuff that was cool enough to make him famous in the first place, like playing on Pet Sounds.

― Josh in Chicago, Tuesday, 8 August 2017 20:56 (eight years ago)

For lack of a better way to put it, it felt like he was dying forever. He would announce retirement for Alzheimer's, which of course is terrible, but then he would put out a new album. Then he would do a final tour, and then retire again. And then I would see him popup in a documentary and that was supposed to be it. And then he would pop up again. I'm glad he was able to remain so productive though the end.

― Josh in Chicago, Tuesday, 8 August 2017 20:58 (eight years ago)

I know about his time in the Beach Boys, of course, but I thought he was just a Beach Boy on the road--didn't realize he played on Pet Sounds.

― clemenza, Tuesday, 8 August 2017 21:00 (eight years ago)

Played with everyone.

― weird echo of the falsies (Tom D.), Tuesday, 8 August 2017 21:03 (eight years ago)

Yeah, Wrecking Crew. One of those cats with such cred it didn't matter what he did next, he had nothing to prove.

― Josh in Chicago, Tuesday, 8 August 2017 21:04 (eight years ago)

Think he had the distinction of being one of the few people in the Wrecking Crew, maybe the only guitar player, who didn't read music.

― Barkis Garvey (James Redd and the Blecchs), Tuesday, 8 August 2017 21:08 (eight years ago)

One of the few who had a solo career after too. Like, him and Leon Russell?

― Josh in Chicago, Tuesday, 8 August 2017 21:11 (eight years ago)

Dr. John?

― Josh in Chicago, Tuesday, 8 August 2017 21:13 (eight years ago)

Aw geez, I was feeling like dirt the other day and spun a few of his early singles, gentle on my mind indeed. The sun shone in his voice.
