Would it be worth consolidating the RIP threads into one ongoing thread? I do like to see the notifications but it's a bit depressing to see 1/3 of the threads on the main page in this forum about RIP.

OK, time to blow up this thread.
I've been wondering, assuming that Trump and Clinton are the nominees, how badly does Donald lose?
Nobody could ever approach Jefferson's winning percentage, but I'm thinking that Hillary could challenge for the #2 slot given all of the gifts that Donald brings. Among female voters, could Donald get 25%? Latino voters?
What do you think?![]()

Did you notice his role as Rod Taylor's neighbor in The Time Machine?

Do you mean something recorded later, or something in the movie when they met when they were older? I think the older meeting was included in the movie, but it's been many years since I've seen it.

"In 1993 a combination sequel-documentary short, Time Machine: The Journey Back, directed by Clyde Lucas, was produced. In its third section, Michael J. Fox talks about his experience with the Delorean sports car time machine from Back to the Future. In the short's final section, written by screenwriter David Duncan, Rod Taylor, Alan Young, and Whit Bissell reprise their roles from the original 1960 film."
This was apparently done for PBS. Both actors of course were 23 years older than in the original movie. When the movie was released on DVD they cut everything else out except for the reunion scene of these two actors.
My mother took me to it in 1960 at the great Avalon Theatre in Chicago. The Morlocks scared the shit out of me. Funny now when you see their "scary" eyes are simply light bulbs.

For the players and fans of women's basketball, all of them should thank Pat Summitt. She was the pioneer of the sport, taking it from a club sport to a major sanctioned NCAA sport. For us older people, the girls played six on six with only three players allowed on each side of the center line back in our day. Now they play the five on five full court game.
Summitt was a relentless stickler for the fundamentals of the game. Her Lady Vols were the first dynasty in the sport, only now equaled by UConn. I still remember that 1998 Sports Illustrated article which so accurately detailed her life. RIP to one of the greatest coaches in any sport regardless of gender.

He went on to play the character in The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi, as well as the three Star Wars prequels from 1999 to 2005. He also appeared in a number of other much loved films in the 1980s, including The Elephant Man, Time Bandits and Flash Gordon.

I probably started watching his show right around when it began. So much better than today's usual panels on CNN, Fox, etc.

On a probability scale from zero to 10 — zero meaning zero probability, 10 meaning metaphysical certitude, is today a sad day?
I'd give it a 10.
Bye Bye!

I watched his show probably within the last 2-3 months, and he wasn't looking too good. Always enjoyed the show because they seemed to present both sides politically. I'll miss it.
