Bound For Glory

I am very saddened to report that Oscar nominee & cult film legend David Carradine has died. He was 72.

I'll let the news sites relate to you the details of his passing. Here we just want to focus on the amazing career of a notoriously awesome and notoriously difficult actor.

I think part of the reason why this death is hitting me so strongly is the fact that I just watched him get killed two days ago in his cameo in Mean Streets. How can he be dead when I just watched him on my television machine? But I guess in the end that's what celluloid and DVD are for. As long as they're around he's not really dead.

I highly recommend honoring him with a triple feature of Boxcar Bertha, Death Race 2000 & Kill Bill Vol. 2
