That is one of the coolest images from that movie. He just looks at the audience. Gives that sly grin. So damn cool!

It's definitely one of my favorite fourth wall breaks of all time.

I’m sorry Mini. When I first watched Smokey, I laughed like I’d never laughed before. I watched it over and over. Just so many fond memories of him and his movies.

Not true. I wasn't shocked at all when Christopher Lee died.

[Bouvre]

Just now, midnight said:

Yes!

Haha! I loved that movie as a kid. 
Also love that one of the skateboarding extras went on to become a very well known professional skateboarder.

Well, I’m in disbelief. That’s just me.

He didn’t have a bad movie. Even the bad movies were good. If that makes sense. He just knew how to make anything work.

When Leonard Cohen died, I was at a university reading. 
I'd always expected to be in tears, inconsolable. 
Instead, I was "Well, it was about damned time."

Sort of helps that he'd called it promptly after the release of "You Want It Darker"

They filmed the first one close to where we live. He made lots of movies here. His movies created tons of revenue for our state.

[RPM Jr.]

I loved the Longest Yard. (Both versions, actually.) I also loved Smoky and the Bandit.

 

Rest in Peace, Mr. Reynolds. Thank you for many years or entertainment.

Yes! He needs to be profiled more. He is a very talented man. We plan on meeting him, hopefully next year. I love how he is a celebrity, and has no problem at all voicing his political opinions. Most of which, I agree with. He’s old school. Tells it like it is. A great quality.
