“Deliverance” was a pretty good effort by Reynolds though the story line was pretty disturbing as was the Dickey novel it was based on which I actually had to read for a 20th Century Southern Lit class in college.. Jesus, that movie probably set back tourism in the Appalachians for a decade or two…….. I also liked him in “The Longest Yard” and “The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas” and of course the Academy threw him a bone by nominating him for an award in Boogie Nights….
And despite getting catcalls and boos, and more, I liked the Matthew Broderick “Godzilla”. Saw the movie long beyond it issuance date and heard all about how it was a bomb. Glad nobody can reach me …
I was a fan of Burt’s until he hooked up with my teenage crush. What was the Flying Nun thinking? I never understood why she didn’t call me. I was easily available outside her window for many nights.

I doubt anyone will argue with Opus about this.

The airing of any opinion includes the potential for mob violence.

Run faster, Opus. I hear banjos.

In the third frame, as Opus descends, I can almost hear the ‘poink poink poink!’

Everyone has unpopular opinions. Mine is that “Fargo” is an incredibly boring and unfunny movie.

RIP and thank you for dump horse sierra onto the National Enquirer headquarters via a helicopter.

Never more true than today. Burt Reynolds was a popular actor, not a great actor….

He was a better actor than people gave him credit for in 1984, the year “Cannonball Run II” came out, but never a great actor.

Funny, back in the day I had similar sentiments about Barry Manilow.

There are actors who just play themselves. Burt Reynolds was one. He was fun.

Never shout “theatre” at a crowded fire…
