Gregory Pek died

**Anonymouse** · 06-13-2003, 12:33 AM

and I still don't give a xxxx.

jahannam · 06-13-2003, 12:35 AM

who is he?

06-13-2003, 02:12 AM

well, I give a xxxx. Gregory Peck was not only a great actor, but a great person. You can see his honesty, and integrity, and his pure generosity shine through each and everyone of the roles he played. He was and still is something unique, unlike much of the wannabe actors and starlets that don't deserve any of the credit people give them.

He was Atticus Finch in To Kill a Mockingbird, a role which AFI named the greatest hero in all of movie history.

He was Joe Bradley in Roman Holiday( w/Audrey Hepburn), one of his best and widely remembered roles.
Other films include : SpellBound, The Yearling, The Omen, Cape Fear.

Classic Actor in the worlds most Classic Films.

You've got to be kidding me. You seriously don't have any idea who he is? Or are you trying to be sarcastic.

r.i.p. 1916 - 2003

naaa, I don't do black and white...I think it's a waste of time, unless you're a film studies major. hehe 8)

If jahannam said she doesn't enjoy the taste of xxxx, would you say you love it?

and black and white movies aren't really good. Oozadznit esek, Marlon Brando wasn't that good of an actor

**Anonymouse** · 06-13-2003, 10:15 PM

Okay so what.

He was an actor, and he was hailed by AFI, but his overall contribution to mankind is still zero.

I'm sick and tired of this celebrity worship culture.

Who gives a xxxx if he died? I don't give a xxxx. Many people die every day and he is no exception.

Okay, he was a great actor, and he died.

Let's move on.

The fact that yahoo news dedicated a whole article to that shows how much devoid of substance the American culture is.

Whether it be Gregory Peck, Charleton Heston, anyone else from yore, or the modern xxxxty "actors" who rely on special effects to boost their "acting" potential, it is an entirely stupid idea to have shows about them and follow their lives and deaths.

xxxx them is what I'm saying.

xBaron Dants · 06-13-2003, 10:22 PM

Very true. This tradition of idolizing celebrities and following their every move is quite bothersome.

Just now, a mother of four young children probably died of malnutrition, yet we don't seem to care as much.

So lemme get this straight, just because a film isn't in color and requires you to use your mind to imagine what the actual setting must look like, you deem it a waste of time??? At least gimme a better excuse.

So Psycho is a waste of time, because its b/w right? and so is Raging Bull, On the Waterfront, and anything that Charlie Chaplin did. Does your theory apply to telelvision as well? I Love Lucy, The Addams Family, The Munsters, Bewitched, and Superman to name a few. If The Godfather was in black and white, would you say it was a bad film??

The thing is, is that the generation of today would rather have hollywood force feed them easy to consume, generic movies than actually spending their time on films that have meaning and require you to think a little than just simply watch a movie.

You might not enjoy it because you didn't like the film, or the actor, but its really narrow minded to say that the use of color in a film determines if its good or not.

His contribution to mankind was not zero. He wasn't Newton or Shakespeare, or Mozart but he did do something ok?

"As one of the last giants from the Golden Era of Hollywood, Peck was known for his charitable and political fund-raising and other humanitarian efforts off-camera.

He was a charter member of the National Council of the Arts in 1965 and helped raise its $4-million first federal subsidy for the arts. He stumped California as state chairman of the American Cancer Society in 1964, and the nation as its national chairman two years later.

Peck was so successful at turning his mellifluous basso voice in support of such Democratic politicians as former Gov. Pat Brown that many suggested he run for governor, U.S. senator or even president. He chose not to run for office but continued his political activities. He once made a series of TV commercials that helped thwart the U.S. Supreme Court nomination of conservative Judge Robert Bork.

"To Gregory Peck — an artist who has brought new dignity to the acting profession," former President Lyndon B. Johnson said in awarding Peck the nation's highest civilian award, the Medal of Freedom, in 1969.

"Gregory Peck has enriched the lives of millions," said the Democratic president and Peck's friend. "He has given his energies, his talents and his devotion to causes which have improved the lives of people. He is a humanitarian to whom Americans are deeply indebted." " - L.A Times

He was also very active in the Los Angeles Library System, where he invited many celebrities to be part of the reading program for children. Because of him, I'm sure hundreds of kids in Los Angeles who look up to these celebrities ( whether you like it or not) are reading today.

Ok lets move on. I'm not the one who posted a topic entitled "Gregory Peck"

**Anonymouse** · 06-14-2003, 03:56 AM

It was something called satire.

The only reason I brought it up was because it was on every news outlet.

aman Asdvadz. Is everybody in PMS or xxxxx mode lately? some ppl don't like black and white movies. It's not very dramatic.

And it's not as if Hollywood was making black and white movies to make you use your imagination, they just didn't know how to make colour movies.

You know, I don't like bananas cause the effort of peeling and taking out that icky stuff is just not worth it. After all, it's only a fruit, not a key to Heaven.

So, what I'm trying to say is, let Jahannam watch generic movies like Spiderman, while you dissect all the meaningful messages of Superman.

Once again, I am enlightened. How DO you do it?
Yes, it certainly is time for me to learn some basic english. Thanks for giving me a boost.

No but seriously, why the attitude in every post? Does it give you illusions of superiority or popularity?
