Sad news, the Buttholes were a force of nature in their heyday and Teresa was no small part of that.

Never saw them with her but listened to Double Live a fucking lot in high school.

The word "Iconic" gets thrown around waaaaaaaaaaaay too much these days, but that scene earns the title and then some.

Hadn't ever seen that and didn't know she was in it

― Robert Adam Gilmour, Monday, 19 June 2023 21:02 (three years ago)

Yeah her image on the Slacker cover/poster is as iconic to Gen X as just about anything short of the Smells Like Teen Spirit video.

Not confirmed yet, but I'm hearing that Peter Brötzmann is gone.

Just heard that from a WFMU dj, very sad news if true.

― The Terroir of Tiny Town (WmC), Friday, 23 June 2023 01:56 (three years ago)

Oof. Seeing his Tentet play here some years back is one of my more memorable concert going experiences.

awful news

― butt dumb tight my boners got boners (the table is the table), Friday, 23 June 2023 02:14 (three years ago)

Oh no. Saw him many times, including the only jazz gig I've ever been to where the audience were offered ear plugs before the concert!

― Renaissance of the Celtic Trumpet (Tom D.), Friday, 23 June 2023 06:34 (three years ago)

saw him w/ an ensemble open for sonic youth in 2000 - my first-ever live concert (i was 15). distinctly remember them being about as loud as SY.

RIP, some great work

― werewolves of laudanum (VegemiteGrrl), Saturday, 24 June 2023 18:25 (three years ago)

He looks so different in The Conversation--like most people, my first image of him is in Apocalypse Now--that when I looked up his filmography and saw that he played Mark, my first reaction was "Mark? Who the fuck is Mark?" I didn't even know the character had a name (and I'm not sure that it's ever mentioned in the film).

Great in everything he ever did but...his little bits of Grosse Pointe Blank, just hilarious.

― dan selzer, Friday, 30 June 2023 14:18 (three years ago)

his three mins in Americas Sweethearts would be enough all by itself

― Ár an broc a mhic (darraghmac), Friday, 30 June 2023 14:23 (three years ago)

My personal favorite oddball choice is Slums of Beverly Hills.

― Looking For Mr. Goodreads (James Redd and the Blecchs), Friday, 30 June 2023 14:24 (three years ago)

Forget Freddy, Jason, etc. Arkin's Roat in Wait Until Dark still gets my vote for the best movie villain this side of Harry Powell.

― fair but so uncool beliefs here (Eric H.), Friday, 30 June 2023 14:24 (three years ago)

And so weirdly cast too.

It is With immense sadness and Love I had to let Monte go. He was very ill & in pain so I take comfort in the fact that that part is over but I miss him already! Where ever it is we go off to I am certain He will be causing trouble in his own way RIP the One & Only Monte Cazazza pic.twitter.com/SWoOjqQHz8

What a combination, Alan Arkin and Monte Cazazza.

― Renaissance of the Celtic Trumpet (Tom D.), Friday, 30 June 2023 14:45 (three years ago)

Arkin is immense in Mother Night. Cazazza immense for arguably naming the industrial music genre.

Super in his two Oscar-nominated leads, Wait Until Dark, The In-Laws, Glengarry Glen Ross, Mother Night, Grosse Pointe Blank, Slums of Beverly Hills -- just a grouchy, irritable delight.

Search: Little Murders, which he directed.
