he's 86 years old dude, cut him a break. also, he's awesome.

I'd still kiw him

not 86 til July, apparently

yes I'm too tough w/ the age jokes 'round here

people who live in glass retirement homes shouldn't throw stones~!

i keed i keed

Is that... his real hair?

would you get fake hair that looked like that? I think it's real

I know, that was my thought! It just seems inexplicably colored

Beginners would've been fun if he had the Plummer role.

Alice Cooper's looking rough.

he should have replaced brad pitt in tree of life

someone needs to take away his and al pacino's Just For Men supply

I think HDS's hair color is just 'haven't washed it'

Watching Escape from New York on TV and wondering if there's an HDS biography or autobiography out there I might have overlooked. I wish I knew more about him - he's always seemed like such a fascinating guy and I bet there's a million fantastic stories I've never heard.

Love this Dan Winters portrait of him:

I almost don't like him because I am jealous of him

This doc about him has been getting good "buzz" at the Venice Film Festival: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2372776/

Geez, that looks great (brings to mind the Cazale documentary).

YESSSSSSSS

My dayjob is sending me to Paris, Texas, in mid-Feb

Paris, TX sucks, was there in December for just a week. Sucked for me, was not in the mood for a small town and it's issues. Maybe later I'll end up there and like it. Rusty's Tacos had really yummy tacos. The Mexican restaurants in town though...meh at best.

Harry Dean Stanton has a cameo in The Last Stand. He plays a crusty old man.

was legit afraid this thread getting bumped meant he died

Some friends my ex knew/knows manage to get him in their small films. Twink Caplan too...
Carlos Spills the Beans
9 Full Moons
On Holiday

Best damn thing about him I've read in years.

phew! whenever this gets revived i worry that the guy has died.

Same here.

just saw him in an early '60s Hitchcock TV ep, teaming up with Murray Hamilton to menace Burt Reynolds.

wish i could find clips of his lines in inland empire

HDS is cool but damn that is some overwrought nonsense about road trips

agreed, i couldn't get through it

I'm afraid so..

Then again..

Really looking forward to this, super awesome he's getting another lead picture this late in life. Turn on Twin Peaks the other week was a good reminder that his talent outweighs his legacy. Lynch in an acting role is always appreciated as well.

yup tup

yup

directed by John Carroll Lynch (!), one of those character actors most people would recognize but couldn't name (I had to look him up). recently he played LBJ in Jackie and one of the McDonald brothers in The Founder. hope this comes to theaters and isn't some straight to streaming thing

& he was in twin peaks too, maybe/prob not same days as hds

o scratch that :|

I caught his breakthrough role in Cisco Pike (1972) last month, where he plays a junkie musician friend of Kristofferson's. Slept-on movie, maybe cuz it's hard to find these days.

great film

21-film retro in NYC

He's predictably solid in Paris, Texas, which I saw again for the first time since the mid '90s. It's still not a great film.

What- yes it is!

Feel like he could be this generation's Is He Still Alive? actor, it used to be Alec Guinness.

Everyone with taste is aware he's still alive.

How many people have taste?

None, they're all dead now.

They died while watching Paris, Texas.

Tom - he appeared in more episodes of Twin Peaks: The Return than most of the original series cast members, and plays the titular lead in a current release film out now, so awareness probably higher than usual right this minute
