T'es vraiment degueulasse?

With great sadness we announce that actor Tony Selby passed away peacefully in London yesterday. In a career spanning 70 years in theatre, film and TV, Tony was highly respected and loved by family, friends and colleagues. His renowned sense of humour will be missed by us all. pic.twitter.com/AJw9VU9SbI

That really wasn't a very long reprieve for Tony :(
(His death was widely reported in June, but it was a different Tony Selby).

That was best before, this was selby

Aw man. RIP MKW. Omar was an indelible performance, but he was good in other things too.

Belmondo was incredible. What a career.

― reggae mike love (polyphonic), Monday, 6 September 2021 21:27 (four years ago)

RIP to Belmondo who was great in a ton of movies, but should also be celebrated for the incredible posters of his cruddy 80s action movies. pic.twitter.com/18hAShiTgY

My first knowledge of Belmondo was the "Le Marginal" poster, hung on the wall of one of my french classes at school. I thought it was hilarious at the time, not knowing that a few years later I'd be loving his 60s movies.

― visiting, Monday, 6 September 2021 22:08 (four years ago)

Gotta say, Omar might be one of my favorite characters in all of television history. Very sad about MKW. RIP

― Kind regards, Anus (the table is the table), Monday, 6 September 2021 22:31 (four years ago)

Pretty much the perfect match of performer to role. But I liked seeing him pop up in other stuff, too. Lovecraft Country was a pretty bad show — it seems a little worse every time I think about it, honestly — but he was really good in it.

― but also fuck you (unperson), Monday, 6 September 2021 22:36 (four years ago)

Belmondo was the most beautiful ugly actor in cinema.

If you want a total change of pace, check out his Les Miserables directed by Claude Lelouch.

― So who you gonna call? The martini police (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Monday, 6 September 2021 22:40 (four years ago)

I remember being in France and seeing all kinds of other, unknown Belmondo videos on the shelf in the store, including one with a picture of a pie in midair on the way to his gueule, his chapeau already lifting a tiny bit off his head in anticipation.

That clip is truly insane

― Josefa, Tuesday, 7 September 2021 17:07 (four years ago)

What is that from even?

― What Does Blecch Mean to Me? (James Redd and the Blecchs), Tuesday, 7 September 2021 17:10 (four years ago)

Isn't that the original ending of Pierrot le Fou?

― Halfway there but for you, Tuesday, 7 September 2021 17:11 (four years ago)

Ah, maybe. But the final ending was different, at least the last time I saw it.

― What Does Blecch Mean to Me? (James Redd and the Blecchs), Tuesday, 7 September 2021 17:16 (four years ago)

The big difference is that Godard had Belmondo paint his face blue.

― Halfway there but for you, Tuesday, 7 September 2021 18:03 (four years ago)

Yes, that part I remember.

Clip's from The Burglars (1971)

In the disastrous series of film deaths yesterday, one was conspicuously missed: dear Nino Castelnuovo. His 60 minutes of screentime in LES PARAPLUIES DE CHERBOURG grants him screen immortality. RIP to his radiance, his grace, his nailing of hope and discontent and stuckness. pic.twitter.com/RfaQJqHeZP

OTOH consider the "theyre not real movies" aspect there

Legendary music historian, archivist, and radio DJ Phil Schaap.

― Montgomery Burns' Jazz (Tarfumes The Escape Goat), Wednesday, 8 September 2021 11:17 (four years ago)

I had a dig at him in the blog post for my new mix two days ago, hope that didn't do for him!

― edited to reflect developments which occurred (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Wednesday, 8 September 2021 11:24 (four years ago)

He was incredibly knowledgeable and apparently a nice guy. This New Yorker piece captures him pretty well, I think.

― but also fuck you (unperson), Wednesday, 8 September 2021 11:29 (four years ago)

I read that profile last year (before lockdown) and ended up streaming his show live one morning. NYC needs its wild eccentrics.

IIRC Schaap was a lot younger than I expected him to be.

― Derek and Clive Get the Horn Street (Boring, Maryland), Wednesday, 8 September 2021 14:12 (four years ago)

ok, 70, but from his voice and stories I expected him to be in his 90s.
