People forget that he openly admitted to being a Trump supporter, watching only Fox News and nothing else, and was "ultra-conservative" (re: radical right) in his beliefs.

Keep that in mind that, despite his amazing career as an actor, he turned out to be a pretty disappointing person in the end.


Nobody cares about all that. Just let the dude rest.


The vulnerable communities that are targeted by all the harmful politicians and terrible legislation people like James supported care.

Don't need to respect someone in death who was a crap person when they were alive. Not like they respected the people they hoped their politics would harm.

I've never been a big fan of him, but I thought he was good in Godfather and Rollerball.

Rollerball was a gem in the rough (and more sophisticated than it seems). I totally recommend it.

Yeah, if you're only familiar with the embarrassing remake, the original film is actually great and Caan is great in it. He is obviously going to be remembered for Sonny Corleone the most, but right now, I hear "Jonathan!" being chanted in my head.

Jessica DiCicco had a small part in The Godfather Part III. She's done voices for Demon Slayer, Yashahime, and Unlimited Blade Works.


She's been doing more anime bit-parts lately

Orson Welles was in Transformers: The Movie, which... I GUESS could be considered anime, but the film was funded by American producers, even though the actual animation took place in Japan. It's as much "anime" as Jem & the Holograms and G.I. Joe.


Oh no, not that. I can't remember the title, I just know he voiced a bird in it.


The Enchanted Journey (グリックの冒険 / Glick no Bouken)



Peter Fernandez (Speed Racer) and Corinne Orr (Trixie) are also there

HOLY CARP.

I remember renting that movie when I was like ten from a video store...what a throw-back....

Shocked

I also remember that....for being a little kids' movie, they sure didn't shy away from showing blood or putting the characters in CONSTANT danger and once I learned about the world of anime years later, I realized "....that squirrel movie might have been anime for all that edge." Laughing
