Are they alive?

[Dowdsy McDowds]

I hope I'm not alone with this problem; does anyone else find themselves watching a film from, lets say, over 10 years ago and can't remember if one of the cast is alive or not?

I'm watching Waterworld to kill some time and I recognise Dennis Hopper. I struggle for several minutes trying to remember if he is actually alive or not.

Brittany Murphy still catches me out too. Anyone else?

 

[Natural Selection]

Waterworld is an EXTREMELY underrated film. Yes, I have the same problem at times, so you're not alone on that. Seriously though, is Dennis Hopper alive?

 

[Dowdsy McDowds]

I don't post spoilers.

 

[It's...Baylariat!]

Dennis Hopper passed away.

 

[Natural Selection]

I don't post spoilers.

Damnit, to the search engine I go...

Dead... That sucks.

I more often google an actor to see if they have won/been nominated for an oscar and if so, how many times. I proceed to judge them based on that precedent.

 

[¡Roján!]

The other day I watched an old Adam Sandler movie and was suddenly uncertain of his livelihood. Turns out it's just his career that's dead.

I have jacked it to Britanny Murphy last year...

I have jacked it to Britanny Murphy last year...

I don't know how you managed that, given that she looked like she took a meat cleaver and a bottle of brown sauce to her face.

 

[Dirk]

I was watching Sin City and I didn't know she was dead...

 

[Poop Master Flex]

I know necrophilia is frowned upon but what's societies take on jacking it to a dead person?

 

[Dowdsy McDowds]

Well a lot of my friends seem to shoot their wads when they saw Bill Murray in Zombieland, which did get a bit tiresome but probably not quite what you had in mind.

After randomly watching Scarface one day a few years ago, I had no idea Paul Shenar (he played Alejandro Sosa) died back in the late 80's. Chris Penn is another one that got me. He was Joe's son in Reservoir Dogs, had a part In True Romance as Dimes, and he was in the original Rush Hour.

Nice guy Eddie's dead? And Sean still lives...

 

[Mitch Henessey]

Shocking, I know. I stopped paying attention to Sean after Mystic River for the most part, although I still get a kick out of watching him in Carlito's Way and The Game.

[Fire Marshall Bill]

He does a great job in The Game.

I had no idea Roy Scheider died until I was looking him up for a post on here.

 

[Mr. Artistic guy]

Patrick Swayze and Peter Postelthwaithe. Both a bit surreal still.

 

[Dowdsy McDowds]

Is Liz Taylor still on this mortal coil?

 

[Барбоса]

Nope. She shuffled off in 2011.

I can't think of him in True Romance without also thinking about Tom Sizemore too who I believe is still alive, but his career is definitely dead.

Shame too because he had a great run in the 90s; True Romance, Heat, Saving Private Ryan, Enemy of the State, Strange Days and Black Hawk Down (just missing the 90s window.) He was also pretty good in a TV movie I saw late one night called Sins of the Father which is about racism in the deep south, really want to find it again.

 

[Mitch Henessey]

Seizmore is a shame, because his demons got the best of him a long time ago. I especially enjoyed him in Enemy Of The State and Saving Private Ryan. His last film that came close to resembling a worthwhile mainstream release was Paparazzi years ago. It tries to be this audacious thriller, but Paparazzi eventually devolves into a cheesy and over the top revenge flick. Awful film.

I was watching the film Kids recently and was surprised to find out like half of them had died

 

[Lee]

I just found out Conrad Bain died in January.

 

[Dowdsy McDowds]

Who's that?

 

[Cena's Little Helper]

I am not afflicted with your malady, but I did think of your thread the other night when I saw Hank Aaron on Conan (I thought Hank Aaron had died in the 90s).
