Just watched Slapshot for the 5th time. One of the best. Ever.

THEY COME TO SEE THE CHIEFS! THE TOUGHEST TEAM IN THE LEAGUE! NOT THIS BUNCH OF....pussies.

paul newman, i found out about your passing while eating breakfast at a vegan bakery. i know you would have approved. i'm picking up some mint newman-os for our road trip today and when i break into that package while driving at three AM through utah, i'll be thinking of you.

oh also you were a great actor and everything.

$250 million dollars to assorted earthling charities. Somebody point that out to that asshole Tom Cruise, and his outer-space saviors.

Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid is afk's favorite movie ever; I think it's the first celebrity death that meant anything to him.

God bless you, Paul Newman.

Not many people can hold a candle to his talent, charm, and standards. He did everything he was put on this planet to do, and was a class act all the way through. Thanks, Paul.

Loved him. One of the good guys.

Filmed in Johnstown, PA! My wife's dad has a great picture from the local newspaper at the time of all the cast of Slap Shot sitting around on their lunch break in the middle of town, just sitting in the park eating sandwiches and easily approached by passerby. I can't imagine an actor of Newman's stature doing that today.
Anyway, I love that in the parade scene, you can clearly see Johnstown's historic "porno district" in the background (playing Deep Throat). Niiiice.

Anyways, One of my favorite actors ever. I watched The Verdict last night in tribute.

A kind testimonial from fellow gentleman, Robert Redford.

i appreciate the white elephant quality of the beat up porsche they sent each other (my favorite part).

There will probably be some clause in Newman's Will that bequeaths that lump of metal to Redford somehow. When Redford has to lug it home from the cemetery, the contest will have an official winner.
