Paul Newman, the guy in the picture and who was the main character in the movie The Hustler from 1961 died yesterday on the 26th of September 2008. The picture is from The Hustler.

From my cold dead hands

Ok, that´s spooky... I watched an episode of Scrubs today were a character said that the groundskeeper (of a cemetery) would come after they finished burying Paul Newman, just to add "a different Paul Newman, I asked".
Weird.

Rip to the great actor and ww2 veteran

First think I thought was ow shit ze FH2 great leader is leaving...then I saw the picture. I was relieved.
It's it bad to feel relieved knowing someone died instead of my beloved Mod crumbling to pieces because it would be leaderless without Lobo. It must be the :devil: inside me

C'mon, our crew of mad scientists would activate the next leader bot

I just can't believe he's dead! Of course he was getting old, and was battling cancer, but still... Paul Newman is one of those immortals that you never think of dying per say.

Among all his great roles, oddly, I remember him in a B-movie thatI was fond of when I was young...

Oh poopie. Steve McQueen > Paul Newman.

So that's who Paul Newman is! I was wondering who was that funny guy when I was watching an old comedy on TCM. Well, I thought he was dead for years now. Pity.

Ah you can't say that...

In my mind they're just equal, I love them both :)

Its all about slapshot

Reggie Dunlop: Oh you cheap son of a bitch. Are you crazy? Those guys are retards!
McGrath: I got a good deal on those boys. The scouts said they showed a lot of promise.
Reggie Dunlop: They brought their fuckin' TOYS with 'em!
McGrath: Well, I'd rather have em playin with their toys than playin with themselves
Reggie Dunlop: They're too dumb to play with themselves. Boy, every piece of garbage that comes into the market and you gotta buy it!

Paul Newman was cool before Steve McQueen, although I gotta admit McQ was edgier and could be more menacing. But Newman was like somebody you always wanted to be around.

His movies are always fun to watch, even if he's completely butchering a "Southern" accent in one of Tennessee Williams' super-flamer gay-subtext movies made from his plays (mostly because everybody in a Tennessee Williams movie butchered a Southern accent).

You can't imagine the electric thrill it was in 1969 to see him in Butch Cassidy, which even today is like a primer on cool buddy movies. And Slapshot was a blow-a-Coke-out your-nose funny, because it was not only so damn outrageously and raunchily hilarious (remember, that was 1977 we're talking about), but it was so unexpected. It was a sleeper which the critics for the most part trashed, and was sinking until word-of-mouth saved it. What made it sublime was that the king of quiet cool, Mr. Paul Newman, was showing he had real comedy chops.

But Cool Hand Luke was the pinnacle of tough cool. As a completely indestructible, unbeatable, indomitable Luke, Newman was perfect for the role with his low-key strength. McQueen, with his smoldering, raging-filled cool, would have burst into apocalyptic movie-ending flame about 15 minutes after the previews. Newman simply endured and kept escaping.

Newman was one of a kind. And a delight to watch. Nobody will replace him.

Yeah really! No more posts like that from you Lobo! Some people on here have weak hearts.

I was really tempted right now to photoshop Fh2s homepage with an update announcing Lobo leaving.
