Guest Brad Stone Posted July 27, 2005 I thought he was already dead, i really must try to keep in touch with this website more (as the're were many others who i thought were brown bread still showing as alive), getting the names mixed up reminds me that a couple of years ago a lynch mob smashed up a house in Portsmouth after they were told that the person (turned out to be a woman) who lived there was a paediatrician (true story) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Yeti 14 Posted July 28, 2005 getting the names mixed up reminds me that a couple of years ago a lynch mob smashed up a house in Portsmouth after they were told that the person (turned out to be a woman) who lived there was a paediatrician (true story) ... as opposed to a paedophile.

Windsor 2,233 Posted July 28, 2005 Comic legend Jerry Lewis is getting the television academy's prestigious Governors Award in recognition for his more than half-century of work. I believe it doesn't get awarded until September/October (no this isn't a new month). Will he still be around to recieve it? (Dramatic pause) Who knows!?

Gunjaman5000 30 Posted July 31, 2005 He never should have left his backing band 'The News'. How Gunjawoman and I dance and sing whenever he's on the wireless, "I want a new drug" and "Power of love" have us whirling around the lounge like teenagers. Needless to say, the "Heart of rock and roll" is still beating as long as this entertainment stalwart is with us. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In the 1980’s, "Huey Lewis and the News" were a phenomenal band. Huey Lewis Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BATEMAN'S APARTMENT - NIGHT The living room floor has been meticulously covered with newspaper. Owen is slumped drunkenly in a white Eames chair, a glass in his hand. Bateman is looking through his CDs. BATEMAN You like Huey Lewis and the News? OWEN They're okay. BATEMAN Their early work was a little too New Wave for my taste. But then Sports came out in 1983, I think they really came into their own, commercially and artistically. Bateman walks to his bathroom, taking a large ax out of the shower. He takes two Valium. BATEMAN (Said partly from the bathroom) The whole album has a clear, crisp sound and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that gives the songs a big boost. Bateman comes back out and leans the ax against the wall. He walks to the foyer and puts on a raincoat, watching Owen from behind ail the time. BATEMAN He's been compared to ELvis Costello but I think Huey has a more bitter, cynical sense of humor. Owen is absent-mindedly leafing through the Barneys catalogue. OWEN Hey, Halberstam? BATEMAN Yes, Owen? OWEN Why are there copies of the Style section all over the place? Do you have a dog? A chow or something? BATEMAN No, Owen. OWEN (Confused) Is that a raincoat? BATEMAN Yes, it is. Bateman moves to the CD player. He takes a CD out of its case and slides it in the machine. BATEMAN In 1987 Huey released this, Fore!, their most accomplished album. I think I heir undisputed masterpiece is "HiP To Be Square," a song so catchy that most people probably don't listen to the lyrics. But they should because it's not just about the pleasures of conformity and the importance of trends. It's al~ a personal statement about the band itself. Bateman puts on "Hip To Be Square." BATEMAN crosses the room and picks up the ax. We follow BATEMAN from behind as he walks up to Owen, the ax raised over his head. BATEMAN Hey, Paul? As Owen turns around, FROM OWEN'S POV we see Bateman swing the ax toward his face. Blood sprays onto the white raincoat. FROM BEHIND OWEN, we see BATEMAN as he yanks the ax out. Owen drops to the floor. His body falls out of the frame. We stay on his legs twitching mechanically. Blood pulses onto the newspaper-covered floor Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MyBrainHurts2 4 Posted September 5, 2005 Currently, Jerry's hosting his annual Muscular Dystrophy Assoc. Telethon...and he looks like he's going to make it to 2006. He stood mainly behind a podium (what little I watched of him), joking around, seemingly in little to no pain with only the occasional stop to catch his breath (better than the past couple years). Didn't really get a sense of how much mobility he's capable of though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
millwall32 114 Posted October 29, 2005 He was on Letterman this week and looked very good, had lost weight, and was (to the extent that he can be without Dean Martin) very amusing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest AbsintheBleu Posted November 30, 2005 He was actually on the Late Show with Conan O'Brien (not Letterman) and looked to be in great shape. He was bouncing around and very into the interview. He was, however, amusing at BEST and dated at worst. They ran an old clip of him in a choir and it was not funny, and was way too long for the format of that show. I'm guessing this will not be a win for ye' ol' deathlist for several years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Canadian Paul 97 Posted November 30, 2005 His popularity in deadpools seems to be wearing off... I guess they misunderestimated him. Would probably suggest removing him from next year's list, but, even for my personal knowledge, I'd like to hear from anyone who thinks otherwise. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The reason I said he was on Letterman rather than Conan is because the name of the show that he was on is "Late Night With David Letterman". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maryportfuncity 10,647 Posted December 4, 2005 He was, however, amusing at BEST and dated at worst. Maybe he should get together with Norman Wisdom, who seems to suffer under a similarly time-warped illusion that his old act still has the power to amuse.

I disagree.He was quite funny on Letterman and his old films are very funny. Also very good in "The King of Comedy" and "Funnybones". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
