We are going to lose a lot of greats in the next few years and it is going to be brutal. RIP to Robert Duvall, who managed to be entirely convincing as an introverted not-a-wartime consigliere *and* a warmongering surfing addict

Robert Duvall died on Sunday at the age of 95.

Robert Duvall earned a lasting place in American movie history as a stoic Mafia consigliere in “The Godfather,” a surf-loving Army colonel in “Apocalypse Now” and a washed-up country crooner in “Tender Mercies.”

The Wet Tribe founder’s family has a special connection with ‘To Kill A Mockingbird.’ So, it is with great sadness that we share the loss of our Boo Radley, actor Robert Duvall (1/1931-2/2026). We need more Atticus Finches and Boo Radleys. Rest in Peace.

Duvall had an innate sense of how to physically embody a character in terms of body language, posture and gestures.
I didn’t even notice that he didn’t duck for cover first time I saw Apocalypse Now.
If felt completely right that Kilgore wouldn’t flinch or be put out by explosions as he was war.
Robert Duvall is 95
Apart from his famous dialogue in Apocalypse Now, it was moments like this that made me realise how insane Kilgore was.
Bombs going off, everyone ducking but just a normal day for the Colonel.

RIP~ Robert Duvall

To me, he was a strong advocate against power hungry data centers that are threatening the landscape in my hometown. He spoke at many town meetings .

He was a cowboy, who could truly sit a horse, never losing the stride.

Normally when a great actor passes away, I find some obscure B-Movie poster to tribute them with.

With Rober Duvall, even his lowest-rated TV Movie looks like something I'd like to watch.

Fare thee well, Mr Duvall.

Duvall is superb in Falling Down. His genteel cop, on the cusp of retirement, representing a throwback to a better America that offsets the unhinged rage of the unhinged Michael Douglas white collar worker

A rare 90s film that has become relevant again in the age of MAGA and Internet trolls.

A federal judge in Oregon issued a sweeping rebuke of the Justice Department’s nationwide push to seize state voter rolls, ruling that the department can no longer be presumed to be acting in good faith and warning that its conduct threatens voters and states’ rights.

The judge pointed to a letter from Bondi to Minnesota that tied federal immigration enforcement to demands for voter data as the smoking gun.

Our constitution gives too much power to the president, and it makes it too difficult to remove a rogue president.

I haven't heard one single Democrat candidate propose how they'd amend the Constitution to prevent the current situation from ever happening again. Not one.
