Harry Dean is Great

billcr12

score 8/10

Harry Dean Stanton's last film is a perfect ending to the actor's life. Here is as a cranky 90 year old man. He watches game shows, and does crossword puzzles, while smoking cigarettes and drinking bloody Mary's at a local bar. he also visits a nearby diner on a daily basis, to drink coffee and trade barbs with fellow town residents. His outlook is grim, no God, only an unknown and expanding universe. I am thirty years from 90, but I have a similar view of life as Lucky. Stanton should have been one of the five nominees for the best actor Oscar. I'm sure that he will be part of the tribute of those we've "lost" in the past year. Once again, the Academy blew it.
