heroicjanitor Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 I didn't know who he was until you made that Shirley joke, he was awesome! One of the funniest actors I've ever seen. Actually I'm confusing him with Steve Martin... Still awesome though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ganepark32 Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 Terrible news. Always been a fan of his movies. A true comedy genius. I foresee a Naked Gun marathon today/this evening. In remembrance then, here's one of my favourite moments from the Naked Gun films (although it's all pretty much priceless): Dr. Mainheimer: "It's a terrible thing that's happened here, Lieutenant. I do hope you will find the people responsible." Frank: "I'm sorry I can't be more optimistic, Doctor, but we've got a long road ahead of us. It's like having sex. It's a painstaking and arduous task that seems to go on and on forever, and just when you think things are going your way, nothing happens."

Guy Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 My reaction to this news was not pleasant. I'm actually a little bit surprised at how upset this has made me. I always saw Leslie Nielsen as someone who could never be defeated by mortality. Missed an opportunity to meet him recently too, which only makes this worse. Death sucks.

S.C.G Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 R.I.P Leslie Nielsen... you were a living legend in life and even in death you'll never be forgotten, just remembered even more fondly both Airplane! and Naked Gun shall be your ever-lasting legacy of comedy while you'll also never be forgotten for Forbidden Planet and The Poseidon Adventure which in many ways cemented your career in films from that point onwards. So long as those films continue to be watched and enjoyed by many - which I'm sure they shall - then you'll never truly die. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
