Over this weekend, comedian John Pinette and legendary actor Mickey Rooney passed away. In the 143 years between them, they brought many laughs to several different generations on stage, on television, in movies, and more.
Hopefully their memory will live on beyond whatever Twitter jokes/faux pas people are making, especially the tweets where people are mistaking Rooney for Mickey Rourke.
Recently: The Oscars happened much to a bore with mostly dull speeches and several failed attempts at humor/entertainment, proving once again, that it should be a private party and not televised for the confused, out-of-context viewing public. That is, unless someone’s acceptance speech was more unhinged and freewheeling like the brilliant James Adomian as Orson Welles merely trying to plug a wine. It’s kind of like Mickey Rourke any time that he wins an award anywhere. That’s how acceptance speeches should be.
