Donald Sutherland made a lot of great films. One many not be aware of is 1965's Dr. Terror's House of Horrors (and it's much better than the title suggests). This is one of Sutherland's earliest films and is a horror anthology from Amicus in which the young Sutherland appears alongside horror veterans Peter Cushing, Christopher Lee, and Michael Gough, as well as Bernard Lee (the original 'M' in the James Bond film).

Kinky Friedman has passed away. As a musician he was probably best known for his work as Kinky Friedman and The Texas Jewboys. He was also a novelist and was a fairly viable candidate for Governor of Texas. Really what he was was a provocateur. And that is a wonderful thing. But "Sold American" is just a brilliant song. May his memory be a blessing.

When it came to Texas, I was more inclined to read Molly Ivins' work.

May his memory be a blessing. I am saddened to hear this. I am a fan of both his music and his writing. (I can't comment on his run for Governor of Texas. ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) ) I met him once at a book signing, and have a signed copy of the omnibus edition of three of his novels.

RIP to comedian and actor Martin Mull, who passed today at 80. He's known for many roles over a span of decades, but he will always be Colonel Mustard to me.

Sounds like a great cast, I'll look out for it.

I loved Martin Mull together with Fred Willard (RIP) in the short-lived Fernwood 2 Night series, especially the episode with Tom Waits.

Yes, this. I only learned about the existence of this show about 5 or so years ago, and then watched a few episodes at the Internet Archive. It's pretty briliiant.
