RIP, Ron Saunders.
As a Villa fan, I'm biased here perhaps, but Saunders never got the credit he deserved for leading an unfancied and unfashionable club to the English league title in 1980-81. Only 14 players were used in that season's league campaign.
It is the sad duty of Aston Villa Football Club to announce that our former manager, Ron Saunders, has passed away at the age of 87.— Aston Villa (@AVFCOfficial) December 7, 2019

One somewhat obscure Robert Walker Jr. film I would recommend is Road to Salina (1970), a weird kind of psych-noir mystery shot in Spain w/ Mimsy Farmer and Rita Hayworth in one of her last roles.

B-b-but would you recommend The War Wagon? I wouldn’t. Recently was reminded of his dancing sequence in Easy Rider.

Ron Silver was in Heat Vision and Jack so this is kind of a near miss.

Thank you for bringing up "Heat Vision and Jack," because the last time I thought of that was literally in the pre-youtube era. Youtube here I come! (RIP Ron Silver, the ... American Alan Rickman?).

Me, because I saw "Rachel's dad on Friends dies" and thought oh fuck Elliott Gould (also Dr Morbius will probably go on a killing spree if/when Gould's death is reported in the context of his role on Friends)

I saw Ron Leibman's Tony-winning performance as Roy Cohn in Angels in America in '93. (Or rather, the first half of it; by the time I saw the second play months later, F Murray Abraham had replaced him.)

Am sure Robert Walker Jr was a nice dude but Charlie X, the only Star Trek episode I remember watching as a little kid, scared the shit out of me, esp his brattish screaming

lucid dreams was one of the best examples of the soundcloud style, i think, whatever you think of it. unapologetically direct and confessional. also, it shows the kind of range of reference points young people are working from -- the track rips off both sting and yellowcard.

His mother, Princess Laure Louise Napoléone Eugénie Caroline Murat (1913–1986), was a great-great granddaughter of Joachim Murat, one of Napoleon's marshals and King of Naples during the First French Empire, and his wife, Caroline Bonaparte, Napoleon's youngest sister.
