Apollo Creed
Yup.
Carl Weathers, dead at 76.

And his one problem is he didn’t go to Russia that night because he had extracurricular activities, and they froze to death.
Re: Apollo Creed
He was the Black guy in Predator.

Re: Apollo Creed
When I watched that Browns-Broncos video posted in the Swampcrash thread, I got his ad with Gronk. I had just seen the notice of his death like 10 minutes earlier. I see dead actors.
Totally Kafkaesque

Damn that sucks. He had such a great second (third) act. So much fun in arrested development.

I've been keeping "Action Jackson" in the DVR even though I've already watched it.
Well, sounds like Friday night now includes plans. Also...

Re: Apollo Creed
He just really didn’t want to say ‘Comicons’ did he.

Re: Apollo Creed
I think there are just so many versions of conentions now, I feel like "comic-cons" is dying as a word. A lot of them are catch-alls that will be advertised as "sci-fi" or whatever to get cast members from TV and movie shows to make appearances.

He was brilliant on Arrested Development.

Re: Apollo Creed
It’s obvious he’s specifically going out of his way to avoid Sandler movies but avoiding movies by PT Anderson or the Safties to prove some weird point is self-defeating.

Re: Apollo Creed
Nope. I've heard both are good, but haven't seen them.
And for his comedies...it's just not my thing. Never found him all that funny.

I’m not going to suggest Adam Sandler movies are necessary to understand the human condition in the 21st century but this seems like a prison of your own making.DaveInSeattle wrote: ↑Sat Feb 03, 2024 9:36 amNope. I've heard both are good, but haven't seen them.

Re: Apollo Creed
Punch Drunk Love and Uncut Gens were both fantastic movies. And fit into the great but can’t watch twice. Both gave me more anxiety than a movie should be able to create.

Re: Apollo Creed
For the record, did everyone realize I was citing an appearance by Carl Weathers on SNL back around 2003 or so? I can't find the video but here's the trasncript:
Carl Weathers for Governor
…..Carl Weathers
Voice Over: Jesse Ventura Arnold Swartzenegger mavericks Americans governors and stars of the movie Predator.
Carl Weathers: Just like me, Carl Weathers. Hi, Im Carl Weathers. Im the black guy from Predator. This American classic has already provided two state governors and frankly, Id like to be the third. Im not fussy; I mean any state is fine. And while Ive never voted personally, I was in the movie Predator, where I played the black guy. My compatriot and good friend Arnold Swartzenegger said Hasta La Vista to politics as usual when he terminated Gray Davis. Well Id like to think that Ive got the Apollo credentials to be your governor. Why? Because I am a man of action Jackson. And I was in Predator. Alright I know what youre thinking. Wasnt Danny Glover the black guy from Predator? And shouldnt he, therefore, be your governor? No. That was Predator 2. Doesnt America deserve better than the star of Predator 2? The America I know and love wont settle for less. But more importantly, do you remember that I was in Predator? Well, I was in Predator.
