JUST ONE MORE QUESTION: After a long struggle with Alzheimer's Disease, Peter Falk has died at age 83. Unfortunately, the only version of the final scene of Princess Bride I could find on YouTube has cheesy music placed after his final line, but damn if Falk's delivery of that final line isn't absolutely perfect.

RIP, Grandpa. Wasting away is no way to live so, while I'm sorry he died, I'm glad he doesn't continue to suffer.
ReplyDeleteI blame the Albanians.
ReplyDeleteHere's to Peter Falk, himself once more, tying one on with Cassavetes in the Great Beyond.

ReplyDeleteGrandpa: Wait, just wait. </span>
<span>The Grandson: Well, when does it get good?
Grandpa: Keep your shirt on, and let me read. </span>
Nitpick: Columbo's signature line was "Just one more THING..."

ReplyDeleteThe Grandson: Does it have sports in it?
ReplyDeleteGrandpa: Are you kidding? Fencing, fighting, torture, revenge, giants, monsters, chases, escapes, true love, miracles!
The Grandson: That doesn't sound too bad.
My favorite Falk role is in WINGS OF DESIRE, where he plays himself. I don't want to give anything away, but I love the scene where you realize who he is.
ReplyDeleteHe's so right there, but for me it's A Woman Under The Influence. Such a heartbreaking, perfect part for him.
