Yup.

Carl Weathers, dead at 76.

[L-Jam3]

He was the Black guy in Predator.

[EdRomero]

No spoilers!?

RIP

Got to be Gronk's fault, right?

[MaxWebster]

RIP

(I honestly had thought he was already dead at least 2x in the last decade)

He was a prominent black man over 60, so yeah.

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.

[tennbengal]

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

[DaveInSeattle]

I have no idea what that is from....but the alligator waving is making me laugh...

[govmentchedda]

This Chubbs erasure will not stand, man.

Happy Gilmore! So dumb, but so good!

DiS WTF???

[DSafetyGuy]

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...

DiS WTF???

I have never seen an Adam Sandler movie.

[P.D.X.]

He just really didn’t want to say ‘Comicons’ did he.

[DSafetyGuy]

He just really didn’t want to say ‘Comicons’ did he.

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.

[brian]

He was brilliant on Arrested Development.

[brian]

DiS WTF???

I have never seen an Adam Sandler movie.

Not even Punch-Drunk Love or Uncut Gems?

[Ryan]

Or the ones that people saw?

Or the ones that people saw?

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.

[DaveInSeattle]

DiS WTF???

I have never seen an Adam Sandler movie.

Not even Punch-Drunk Love or Uncut Gems?

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.

[MaxWebster]

i can't decide whether this BC Lions card is more awesome than the Felix Millan card hiding to the side

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.

[The Sybian]

Or the ones that people saw?

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.

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, I’m Carl Weathers. I’m the black guy from “Predator.” This American classic has already provided two state governors and frankly, I’d like to be the third. I’m not fussy; I mean any state is fine. And while I’ve 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 I’d like to think that I’ve 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 you’re thinking. Wasn’t Danny Glover the black guy from “Predator?” And shouldn’t he, therefore, be your governor? No. That was “Predator 2.” Doesn’t America deserve better than the star of “Predator 2?” The America I know and love won’t settle for less. But more importantly, do you remember that I was in “Predator?” Well, I was in “Predator.”
