Estimated_Prophet Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 Donald Sutherland has passed away in Miami, Florida, this day; June 20th, 2024.

Admiral_Karasu Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 A great actor, can't remember which movie I first saw him, could have been the Dirty Dozen or Kelly's Heroes. The 'oddest' where I saw 'Oddball' is probably on Kate Bush's Cloudbusting video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asym Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 Oh gosh...... One of my favorite actors. And, as a retired tanker, Kelly's Heroes simply was one of the worst tank movies ever created...... And yet, Oddball was our hero...... The solid anti-hero leading a collection of misfits no one wanted, doing things with Tanks no one ever envisioned.....yep, that was us. Several generations of American Tankers did everything possible to be: as irrelevant; tactically obtuse; cosmically enlightened; and, as anti-socially eccentric as he was in that movie..... That picture above is what we wanted to be........tried to be.........became, as best the rule allowed. Now, if any civilian ever approached Fiddler's Green and wanted in to have a beer with us (many of my friends are gone now....) he's the one non-CAV or Tanker that they'd let in........cause, if the Schwartz didn't recognize the anti-hero he created whom inspired generations of tankers, the Universe just might implode.... Hooah Oddball. I'll remember you tonight at Litha...... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Efros Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 Don't Look Now and Invasion of The Body Snatchers are two of my favourites of his. His face always brings this scene to my brain. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
