Donald Sutherland

Everyone in America, and possibly on Earth, loved Alan Alda as Hawkeye Peirce in M*A*S*H. Seriously. We’re talking national treasure here.

For me, I was like everyone else. Then I saw the movie. One watch was all it took. From that moment on, in my head when I thought of Hawkeye Peirce, I thought of Donald Sutherland. Every time. No exceptions. Alan Alda? Phenomenal as that character. Donald Sutherland? Better. I have spoken.

To our kids, Donald Sutherland will always be the bad guy in The Hunger Games. To me? Hawkeye.

Rest in peace, Donald Sutherland.

Carl Weathers

Sad to hear that Carl Weathers passed away. I first new him as Apollo Creed in the Rocky flicks. Later he was Chubbs in Happy Gilmore. Arguably the greatest sports movie of all time. Most recently he was Greef Karga in The Mandalorian. He was the guy who thought that Baby Yoda was going to eat him. ’Member that? Yeah, I ‘member.

I was looking forward to seeing more of him in that recently announced Mandalorian movie. It will be lesser without him.

Rest in peace, Carl Weathers.
