A lot of my favorite actors and celebrities were born on June 7th. I picked out a few of them, based on how much I have enjoyed their work over the years. I may have even created my own movie marathon for the day!!
Today is actor William Forsythe’s 70th birthday. Forsythe is a good character actor, and I’ve always had a fondness for a movie he appeared in called STONE COLD, because it was partially filmed in the town of Conway, Arkansas, which is about seven miles from the house I grew up in. I even remember when they had the downtown blocked off so they could film their scenes. STONE COLD starred All-American football player Brian Bosworth, who was making his film debut. As was the norm back in those days, Forsythe played a really bad guy. So happy birthday, Mr. Forsythe! Enjoy!
As some of our regular readers undoubtedly know, I am involved in hosting a few weekly live tweets on twitter and occasion ally Mastodon. I host #FridayNightFlix every Friday, I co-host #ScarySocial on Saturday, and I am one of the five hosts of Mastodon’s #MondayActionMovie! Every week, we get together. We watch a movie. We snark our way through it.
Tonight, for #MondayActionMovie, the film will be Stone Cold, starring Lance Henriksen!
Then, on twitter, #MondayMuggers will be showing 13 Hours! The film is on Prime and it starts at 10 pm et!
It should make for a night of exciting and thought-provoking viewing and I invite all of you to join in. If you want to join the live tweets, just hop onto Mastodon, pull up Stone Cold on YouTube, start the movie at 8 pm et, and use the #MondayActionMovie hashtag! Then switch over to twitter, pull 13 Hours up on Prime, and use the #MondayMuggers hashtag!
