Your collective inability to acknowledge this obvious truth makes you all look like fools.

Also Dick Gregory, but not all of France mourns.

Can I be the first to say....


"I thought Jerry died years ago...."

Only his career -- especially after he made Donald Trump's all time favorite, yet unreleased film epic, "The Day the Clown Cried."

As my deceased brother once said, "People are dying today that have never died before."

Today is his birthday.

Lewis was adamant that this film would never be released as long as he was able to have some sort of say in the matter.  Now that he is gone, I wonder how long it will be before it will be available on DVD, Blu-ray, or one of the streaming services like Netflix or Hulu.

And someone like Trump would likely also been a fan of that long-sequestered Disney film, "Song of the South".  Maybe, in keeping with his campaign pledge to "Make America Lily-White Again" "Make America Great Again", he can convince Bob Iger (Chairman and CEO of Disney) that the public's attitudes have again changed and it's safe to let Uncle Remus and Br'er Rabbit out of the briar patch.

Yes, I suppose I could agree with you ... but then we'd both be wrong, wouldn't we?

Actualy BB, while the film is pretty much gone, the ride Splash Mountain at both Disney properties in the US (I'm not sure about Europe and Japan) are based on it, and Zippetty Doo Dah is still played a lot at those parks, so you may be right that it will make a come back.

As for Day..., I'd bet we see it sooner rather than later.

I was never a fan of Lewis and his retardo bit, but I did enjoy him with Deniro in King of Comedy. And he did have a lt of fans (including my wife). Rest In Peace.
