Default Peter Falk is Dead

"Just one more thing. it's not important..."

I loved watching Columbo and how he would leave his supposedly intellectually superior suspects almost want to beg him to put them out of their misery.

Peter Falk was a wonderful actor.

Rest in peace.

Awwwwww man....that's terrible news! I loved Columbo Him, Sean Connery and Tom Hanks would be the actors I'd be most sad about passing away. At least Hank is still on the younger side.

Yeah that was a hilarious movie. He did another one called "The Thing About My Folks" which was very good as well.

RIP Peter

Why is the thread title weird?

The guy's name was Peter Faulk correct?

And he is in fact dead correct?

So what's the issue? Not enough euphemisms?

"Peter Falk is Dead" is so blunt it makes Sarah Jessica Parker's face look delicate.

It's less an announcement and more a bare bones factual analysis.

Seriously, if it were you passing on news of someone's death, would you say "My friend passed away / My friend died from ___ ", or would pass on the news by saying "My friend is dead."

Stay Glassy. I'm going to have to keep an eye on this thread.

Columbo (reruns) were awesome when I was a kid, and the Princess Bride speaks for itself.

RIP
