Aw, man...
Fuck you, Death.
RoboCop 2 had a big budget?
What the hell is going on?
He directed the best of the six movies. I watched it three times on Spike Star Wars marathon this weekend.
Yeah, I'm a dork.
RIP Mr. Kershner.
The man was willing and able to say no to George Lucas, and we were all better for it.
Just to liven up this thread a bit (at least until the official thread launches later today for this purpose):
Happy Birthday, Vin! Here's wishing you good health and a World Series this year.
Awww, that's very sad.
Josh, that's one of the reasons we need Pablo Sandoval to be a Death Eater :(
my favorite movie of all time. Thank you so much Irvin!
