Henry Gibson September 21, 1935 - September 17, 2009
There have been a lot of celebrity deaths lately, but this one really got to me. Maybe because I used to watch Henry on Laugh-In with my Grandfather when I was a kid and it's reminding me of him. Or maybe because The 'Burbs was my favorite movie until I was about 11. Probably a combination of the two.
He's one of the few guys who I feel the need to yell out the name of when I see them in a movie. I'm pretty sure I did this in the theater during Wedding Crashers. Him and Udo Kier. Udo wasn't in Wedding Crashers, I mean I yell out his name during movies also.
I think a week-long movie watching marathon tribute dedicated to Henry is in order for us all. Some possible choices:
Blues Brothers
The Halloween That Almost Wasn't
Innerspace
The Long Goodbye
Monster in the Closet
The 'burbs
Wedding Crashers
