Stream of Consciousness / Dean Wormer Has Left the Building
« on: February 04, 2005, 09:28:19 AM »
R.I.P. John Vernon...
John Vernon
LOS ANGELES (AP) _ John Vernon, a stage-trained character actor who played cunning villains in film and TV and made his comedy mark as Dean Wormer in "National Lampoon's Animal House," has died. He was 72.
Vernon died in his sleep Tuesday following complications from Jan. 16 heart surgery, his family said.
Movie fans may know the Canadian-born actor best for his role as Wormer, who is bent on expelling the hard-partying Delta fraternity house. The movie, starring John Belushi and Tim Matheson, is one of the most popular comedies ever made.
Born in 1932 in Montreal, Vernon studied at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in London. He did repertory work in England and was heard off-screen as the voice of Big Brother in the 1956 film "1984."
He returned to Canada to appear on stage and on television, including the starring role in the 1960s drama "Wojeck," in which he played a coroner.
After appearing on Broadway in "Royal Hunt of the Sun" he became a steady player in U.S. films, making his debut in director John Boorman's "Point Blank" (1967) as a turncoat tossed to his death by Lee Marvin.
Vernon went on to work with other celebrated filmmakers including Alfred Hitchcock ("Topaz," 1969), Don Siegel ("Dirty Harry," 1971), and Clint Eastwood ("The Outlaw Josey Wales," 1976).
His deep, menacing voice was custom-made for the many bad guys he played.
He reprised his role in "National Lampoon's Animal House" in the TV spinoff "Delta House" (1979). Other comedy roles followed, including the part of Mr. Big in the film "I'm Gonna Git You Sucka" in 1988.
Vernon appeared in a DVD edition of "Animal House" as part of a satiric update on the characters. Wormer was portrayed as a curmudgeonly old man in a wheelchair.

Yeah, this works for me. If this were a political advertisement I'd be all, like, "I'm Beej and I approve this lesbian relationship."
Adding C-Z J is just overkill. I mean, by all means- do it! But, geez. I'm trying to work here, people!

This topic is for exactly that: news that makes you feel good. Stories that have a happy ending. Events that make you think: "Hey, maybe there is justice in this world!"
Like this for instance- say you're an actor/model and you posed for a pic back in 1986, made about $250, and then went on your way until eventually you give up your dream of being a star and got a teaching job.
Now imagine that the photo you took back in '86 had actually been used by a company but you didn't get paid for it. You didn't even know about it until a few years ago when you actually see your damn pic on the product.

but an un-pretty song not translated well played by junior high musicians... well it was bound to be a train wreck,
LOL, airbrush. Oh, well. What do I know anyway? It was, like, a huge hit and everyone thinks Phil Collins is awesome. All I do is play tambourine (I spelled it right this time just for kicks).
