    He was a great actor
    It's not procrastination if you never had any intention of doing it in the first place.

    Tend to remember him for a couple of very different roles: terrorizing a blind Audrey Hepburn in "Wait Until Dark" and being dragged into silliness by Peter Falk in "The In-Laws".

    Fantastic in every role he played but he was especially great in Argo.
    When I see the 2016 Reds, I see a 100 loss team and no direction.

    Re: RIP Alan Arkin

    The first thing I remember seeing him in was the movie “The Russians Are Coming, The Russians Are Coming”, a gem of a comedy that you don’t hear much about nowadays. I need to see if it’s available on a streaming service and revisit it…
