ewerk 29662 Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 You'd wonder what someone like him would have going on to drive them to take their own life. I guess everyone has their problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Face 29 Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Poor fella. Not a fan of the vast majority of his stuff, never been one for Top Gun, Days of Thunder or any of that gubbins, but he made 2 of my favourite pre-teen watch an 18 before your old enough films in The Last Boy Scout and True Romance. While it's the acting and the writing that shine in a scene like Dennis Hoppers "Part Eggplant" monologue, you have to hand it to him, he could knock it out of the park when handed it on a plate.

Happy Face 29 Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Boy and Bicycle is available in full as a DVD extra on The Duelists. http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000085RNP%3FSubscriptionId%3D035HRQETZS3GCGBJ3F82%26tag%3Dfindhotelinth-21%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D165953 Not worth buying the DVD for in itself...but I gave it a watch anyway. Couldn't recognise any of the local settings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Dynamite 6867 Posted August 20, 2012 Author Share Posted August 20, 2012 You'd wonder what someone like him would have going on to drive them to take their own life. I guess everyone has their problems. My top 3 guesses would be: 1 His Mrs was cheating on him 2 He had early dementia and couldn't accept it 3 Tom Cruise was going to tell the world they were lovers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeys Fist 41454 Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Read on a couple of reports that he'd been diagnosed with inoperable brain tumour. Tragic for his lads, whatever the reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Face 29 Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 He left a note, which I always think is politest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
