Slamman Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 (edited) Been showing Mona Lisa on my cable service, I didn't hear anything about this, which is pretty astounding given CNN usually touches on such things, and even the local news, where I'm keeping up with the terrible weather. REAL SHAME. Rest In Peace, Another legend in modern acting gone. You Brit GTA fans must know ...and love The Long Good Friday (I had blanked on the title, but it did come up on cable TV again not long ago https://www.google.com/search?q=Bob+Hoskins+best+movies&oq=Bob+Hoskins+best+movies&aqs=chrome..69i57.5855j0j8&sourceid=chrome&es_sm=122&ie=UTF-8 Edited May 2, 2014 by Slamman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slamman Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 (edited) I've still seen NOTHING on TV about his passing, I think it's a travesty of justice. Just as when Brad Delp of Boston died, there should be an outpouring of respect and remembrance for their artistic contributions, and who they were as people. Going to be missed, no doubt! In the above LGF clip, when Bob gets held up, it's Pierce Brosnan holding the gun on him, the future Ian Flemming James Bond... and of course, Remington Steele! haha He's from Ireland himself. Catch this as well.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kO8at91y-vA#t=180 In time I'll get all the segments linked here, I decided to watch it just now Haha https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dXNCmhye1oY Part 2 etc. Edited May 5, 2014 by Slamman Tyla 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyla Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 I've seen that documentary a few times, Slamman. Well worth the watch. I was surprised to learn that Handmade Films (formed by non other than George Harrison) intended on hiring a voice over artist from Birmingham to dub over Hoskins gravelly London accent for the American release of TLGF. How mad would that have been? In the end they relented. I remember watching a great piece of British drama a few years back called The Street that featured Bob Hoskins as a local pub landlord who refuses to back down from the local gangster and ends up copping a pretty severe hiding. Despite being one of his lesser known roles it's always come to mind as one of his most memorable, however brief it was (one episode only, I think). The same with his brief appearance in The Wall as Pink's sleazy manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hodgey. Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 I'm a little late but R.I.P Bob Hoskins. I used to watch Who Framed Roger Rabbit every year for atleast a decade when they would show it around Xmas time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
