▲He was a cool guy. He used to come to my workplace more than a decade ago when I worked there and was always pleasant. He would always talk to a few of us (mostly my boss) and joke around. Sad to see him go
reply▲Roger Ebert on Madsen’s breakout role in Reservoir Dogs:
> One of the discoveries in the movie is Madsen, who has done a lot of acting over the years (he had a good role in “The Natural“) but here emerges with the kind of really menacing screen presence only a few actors achieve; he can hold his own with the fearsome Tierney, and reminds me a little of a very mean Robert De Niro.
RIP MM

[-] He was fantastic on film, no doubt about it.
But his work as Toni Cipriani in Grand Theft Auto 3 was what I always remembered him for. Bumped into him while I was at the beach on vacation forever ago. I was pretty lit and couldn't remember his real name so I said "ayyyyy Toni!" He picked up on it immediately and did the "do you know who I am? I'll beat the shit outta you for this!"
RIP

[-] My kids and I use that phrase "THAT'S NOT THE CORRECT PROCEDURE!" whenever one of us isn't doing what we're supposed to.
reply▲I rewatched WarGames recently. It holds up and is worth watching again. In particular with our current concerns over AI it feels ahead of its time.

reply▲It's truly fascinating that someone can be in 300 plus movies and I, a film buff, can have only heard of maybe ten of them.

[-] “Wrap your lips around this.” Often gets quoted in our household when serving a drink. RIP MM.
reply▲Torture you? That's a good idea. I like that.
reply▲Last night, only hours before he died, I chose to watch Thelma and Louise. I was really struck by his character this time around, particularly in the diner and motel scenes. He absolutely nailed a male archetype I’m familiar with as a woman: the un-self-aware douche, and he managed it with Susan Sarandon staring at him. Chef's kiss and RIP you gorgeous thing.
reply▲I was just watching Donnie Brasco earlier this week. He was so awesome as Sonny Black (great movie if you have never seen, true story undercover mob fbi story)!
reply▲He was funny in Vengeance Unlimited
season 1 episode 15 "Stay tuned. It's gonna get stranger."
reply▲My two favorite characters of his were Budd and The Matadore.
reply▲Cardiac arrest, ooof. RIP.

[-] Everyone dies of cardiac arrest
reply▲I thought most people died of shock?

reply▲Dude had a unique presence in the films he was in. Highly memorable characters.
Rest in peace.
