Wow, I just saw that, he was only 67 years old. I really enjoyed his role in "Goodfellas", might have to watch it again in his memory.

Re: The Kaleb Horton Deceased Latvian Foreign Minister Thread, 2022 Edition
As someone who came of age in the mid 90s, Ray Liota was the guy that starred in really really mediocre movies: No Escape, Unforgettable, Turbulence. I tried to rent Goodfellas, but rented The Untouchables accidentally which wasn't very good. I finally saw Goodfellas a few years ago and totally missed the point which I think was documented in real time on this board.
Oh, he was in that movie with Jennifer Love Hewitt where she wore all those hot outfits in like 2001. He's been in A LOT of stuff per his filmography and not much of it is very good. I feel like I'm shitting on his legacy, but I'm trying to find anything of note and he seems to be a one film wonder. Two I guess if you count Field of Dreams.

Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

His performance on Just Shoot Me! was a comedy masterclass. He's also really good in Muppets Most Wanted. I've heard that Narc is pretty good, I think I'm going to watch it this weekend.matedog wrote: ↑26 May 2022, 3:43pmAs someone who came of age in the mid 90s, Ray Liota was the guy that starred in really really mediocre movies: No Escape, Unforgettable, Turbulence.

But yeah, Goodfellas should be watched once a year.

Ah that sucks.
I feel that there is a fascistic element, for example, in the Rolling Stones . . .

Seems like some of them are long overdue for a visit from karma.

too much death.
On a happier note, they say Steven Tyler voluntarily entered rehab.
There is a metaphor in here somewhere but i'm too tired to type it out. Or figure it out.

From what I see there's still a little hope

On a sadder note, presumably he'll be let out at some time.

I recognize the first five, of course, but who is Richards?
