Nick Rivers Has Left the Building
RIP Val Kilmer 1959 - 2025.
i should add that Top Secret is both my all-time favorite comedy AND my favorite rock musical, and that Kilmer is brilliant in the Elvis role.
Have i mentioned that this death shit is really starting to piss me off?
Skeet Surfin! The ZAZ Boys' best work. Kilmer gained a bad reputation with some folks- others, not. What he definitely had was a lot of talent acting, dancing and singing. Gone too soon.
"This Death Shit Is Really Starting To Piss Me Off" - Steve Simel Val Kilmer - Tombstone - he paid homage to Chaplins dancing forks with his performance of the twirling coffee cup n response to Johnny Ringos pistol flourishes. I could watch that over and over. The Doors - he was Morrisons doppelganger - the embodiment of the Lizard King right down to the Conch belt and leather pants. rob

ReplyDeleteTop Secret way under appreciated. Spot on Steve...perfectly acted by Mr. Kilmer. Gone much too soon.
