OMG! Wasn't up on this. I hope he said something completely stupid when he died. Surely, he was one of the greatest one-liners of all time...with respect to Rodney D. RIP and don't call me Shirley.

My favorite "straight" line of his, as Commander Adams in "Forbidden Planet" 1956: "I'll have less dreaming aboard this ship! Dismissed!"
Even in that performance, you didn't have to scratch too far below the surface to see where his talents really lay.
RIP Leslie. I hope they allow whoopee cushions in the afterlife...

Just noticed! "Airplane" is on at 9:00 PST and Midnight, 11/30/10 on AMC. Don't know if this is a tribute or coincidence! On pretty soon!

The straightest of straight men, he played his silly characters with absolute sincerity, and no hint of awareness the absurdity of his actions and dialogue.
I saw a PoliceSquad! clip on YouTube today.
Hilarious.

My parents hated how much I liked "Police Squad". In a goofy mood, I could laugh from end to end of the first 2 "Naked Gun" films.
On an unrelated note, I always hoped that somebody would have parodied Johnny Cochran's defense of O.J. using some of the clips from the first naked gun movie.
"How could a man who had his fingers crushed in a window, was shot more times than I can count, set on fire, drowned, & who fell from the upper tier of a stadium in a wheelchair have been able to commit such a heinous crime?"

Leslie Nielsen made me laugh probably more than any other single person on the planet. Surely, the world is a bit less funny now. RIP.

Hi, I just wanted to let you all know that there is a project being conducted at Harvard trying to compile the most effective arguments for and against Wikileaks. I think it's a brilliant idea and would be an interesting read for many of you. http://www.voteonwikileaks.com

This movie is strong, good script, great casting, excellent acting, and over the top directing. It is hard to fine a movie done this well, it is 29 years old and has aged well. Even if the viewer does not like mafia type of movies, he or she will watch the entire film, the audiences is glued to what will happen next as the film progresses. Its about, family, loyalty, greed, relationships, and real life. This is a great mix, and the artistic style make the film memorable.

I would like to express some appreciation to you for rescuing me from this particular incident. As a result of browsing through the world wide web and getting advice which were not productive, I assumed my life was over. Being alive without the strategies to the issues you have sorted out by means of your entire guideline is a critical case, as well as the kind that could have negatively affected my career if I hadn't noticed your web blog. Your skills and kindness in handling all the stuff was precious. I'm not sure what I would have done if I hadn't encountered such a step like this. It's possible to at this time look forward to my future. Thank you very much for the reliable and effective help. I will not hesitate to recommend the sites to any person who requires assistance about this situation.
