Sorry to hear the news today of the death of Walter Matthau. He was a terrific character actor with one of the great faces ever put on film. And for one little boy growing up in the Missouri, he starred in probably the best film ever made for little boys growing up in Missouri - The Bad News Bears.IP: Logged |

He was unique which can't be said about many people in Hollywood. Movie favorites: Bad News Bears Breaking Training (I can't believe I like that one better than the original), The Odd Couple, all the other Neil Simon stuff. Great guy. Rest in peace.IP: Logged |

He was doing great work up until his death. I thought he was good in Hanging Up even though the movie was so full of saccarine that I couldn't barely watch. All the later stuff, Grumpy Old Men, etc. IP: Logged |

Walter Matthau wasn't in Breaking Training, that was William Devane. Matthau was only in the original Bad News Bears.IP: Logged |

When I was growing, he was playing lead roles. Now he's dead. The torch is passing and so to will it pass from us. No matter what you do in life - have some fucking fun people!IP: Logged |
