« on: December 09, 2023, 08:57:29 AM »

The gilded youth of the 60s and 70s are a winsome sepia tinged memory.

Sad news.

I always felt he lost his way somehow.

When he played comedy "What's up Doc" and "Paper Moon" (OK not strictly a comedy) he was brilliant.

In other works, he was more identikit actor than anything else, in my mind anyway.

I think he grew old too prettily. It wasn't clear what rokes he should play in his 40s, and it always felt that there were hints of that in his life. For a piece of fluff as Bones, there were fairly strong resonances about him as a father.

I came to realise that every time we recognise something human in creatures, we are also recognising something creaturely in ourselves. That is central to the rejection of human supremacism as the pernicious doctrine it is.
