the delphic expanse

Comic genius and star of the Sci Fi classic, Forbidden Planet has left us:

Leslie Neilsen dies

"I am serious, and don't call me Shirley."

This is so sad!

Rest in peace, Lt. Frank Drebin...

Since Honeybee already did his best line from Airplane, here's one from The Naked Gun:

"It's the same old story. Boy finds girl, boy loses girl, girl finds boy, boy forgets girl, boy remembers girl, girls dies in a tragic blimp accident over the Orange Bowl on New Year's Day. "

My favorite, from Dracula: Dead and Loving It:

"Renfield, you asshole!"

"Bingo"

(That's the clip from the above link - and funnier every time you watch it."

"A hospital? What is it?"

"It's a big building with patients in it, but that's not important now..."

Somehow I think he'd be getting a huge kick out of people remembering all this stuff.

Entertainment Weekly obit, with clips.

I forgot about that movie. I loved that movie.

Dracula: Dead and Loving It for those that haven't seen it.

A great remembrance of Mr. Nielsen from Fresh Air.

He will definitely be missed. He was one of the great comic actors.
