RIP Wilford Brimley

So long and thanks for the diabeetus.

 

RIP. Loved him in The Firm, one of those movies I watch every time it's on. What do you think I am around here, a f***ing night watchman?

 

Gonna eat some Quaker Oats in remembrance.

 

Who are these people

 

Honestly I thought he passed long ago. I’d say he was quite a diabeetus ass kicker to make it to 85. RIP Mr.Brimley

 

That was one of my favorites as well, along with 'Absence of Malice'.

 

Postmaster General Henry Atkins.

 

This, one of the few times I saw Newman as a secondary character in the scene.

 

Edit - forget it. Waste of time.

 

Got it before the edit

 

Yep, you’re super special...

 

thanks babe

 

Respectfully

 

Another one I watch every time it's on. It surprisingly stands the test of time, unusual for a horror film. Oh, The Firm is on this afternoon on TMC.

 

Like "Jaws" it was drama based. The effects and gore were just tacked on. (Although "Jaws" was also more dialog driven too)

 

My Liberty Medical catheter reorder won't be the same...RIP Mr. Moustache.

 

I'll always remember him for the Quaker oats commercials, the Cocoon movies and diabeetus.

 

Yep. “you ain’t no presidential appointee Elliot. The one who hired you is me, you got thirty days”.

 

I knew him for a handful of years, he lived about a half mile from me as the crow flies until he got too fed up with the growth of the small city into a much larger and busier one, sold off his land and moved to Wyoming. That was about two decades ago now, I guess he ended up getting a house down south a few years after getting his ranch in Wyoming as well.
He was a genuinely kind, hard-assed man.
Godspeed, Wilford.
