you continue to amaze me

+1. I sometimes wonder if Rob's wife knows how much he knows.

Do you wonder if she's even around for his Thursday night shindigs?

DDL acting career

The greatest screen actor of my lifetime and debatably of all time.

I hope he finds happiness doing whatever else (shoe cobbling?) he chooses.

I loved Daniel as an actor. He has one more movie coming out at Christmas time this year.

I know I'm going to be castrated for this but while no questions a brilliant actor, I just didn't enjoy the majority of his films.

Ducking for cover....

You're not the only one - I respect the talent but haven't enjoyed much of the output.

I thought he was excellent in Gangs of New York. Not much else.

Totally agree!

That's the one film of his I couldn't stomach. Also one of the few Scorsese films I didn't like.

I loved him in The Age of Innocence, although I know very few people who liked that film.

Amphetamines are often in ecstasy.

I've never seen heroin (opiate) in ecstasy. I've run plenty of tox screens on patients too.

Pharmacologically speaking, ecstasy and amphetamines can mix well for the partier. Heroin...not so much..a bit of an opposite effect for the dancer crowd.

Michael Nyqvist -- 56 years old

Actor. Perhaps best known for his role as Michael Blomkvist in the original Swedish Dragon Tattoo film series.

I liked those films. He looked older than his 56 years.

Barry Norman.

I fine film critic that I enjoyed for a very longtime. R.I.P.

Dave Semenko. I'll always remember being a little boy and watching him punching some poor guy while telling him "you don't hit Mr. Gretzky." after a hard check.

Also loved him in Crimes and Misdemeanors and in Tucker: The Man and His Dream.

Oh man! Only my favourite Hitchcock film. There's a story behind NXNW and me. One that VinT might understand. It has to do with a certain Haliburton vacation lodge in the 1960s.

One of the Top 100 films of all time!

My favorite role of ML was also in NxNW. A classic movie.

Loved Mating Landau had forgotten he was in Tucker, great movie. No love for Space 1999?

Hmmm. Timely as I have NXNW cued (queued?) up to watch.

RIP Martin Landau

My grandparents owned a lodge in Haliburton (cottage country north of Toronto) from 1950 until the early 1970s. Friday night was movie night. They would rent films and screen them in the main lodge for the guests. I think they were 16mm prints; I can't imagine they got 35mm copies. I just recall that the films came in multiple canisters.

The screening of NxNW circa 1964-65 is burned into my memory banks, mostly because of the impact the film had on my 7 or 8-year-old psyche – I'd never seen anything that imaginative –– but also because the film kept breaking every 15 minutes, usually right in the middle of a tense scene.

That's what I was thinking. Not mentioned at all in any of the articles I've read about him. Starred with his then wife, Barbara Bain. The episodes were kind of hokey, but they always acted the hell out of them as if they were written by Shakespeare. Loved the score, too.

Damn. I was just talking about him with some of the TO crew at VinT's the other week and I pulled out the photo I took with him during out visit in 2014. Spending a few hours conversing with him (with the young winemaker at Clerico translating) was one of the highlights of the trip. Domenico kept grabbing bottles and refilling everyone's glasses. A lovely man.

Sad to hear of his passing.

RIP Chester Bennington, lead singer of Linkin Park. I haven't listened to much since Hybrid Theory...but man this is too soon. 41 yrs old....not too far removed from Chris Cornells's suicide we have another

He was friends with Chris Cornell...and today would have been Cornell's 53rd birthday Wow

I saw him perform a bit over 2 years ago as the replacement singer for Scott Weiland in STP after they kicked Scott out. Wow, that makes two of their singers dead within 2 years.

I was pretty bummed to hear about this. I listened to a lot of their music in my 20's, and even though I got away from them with their last couple albums, their older stuff is always in my rotation. I always thought he had one of the best rock voices out there.
