User Warned: Creating Thread with Click Bait Title
91 and doing pretty damn well, chilling in NM.


Gene Hackman retired from acting 17 years ago, but had this recent pic taken to show he is alive and well at 91, and living in New Mexico. He goes bike riding every day and remains active and engaged with hobbies, and friends.

King.

Popeye my French Connection if old.

post-thread-title-change-edit: Sorry, Era. The clickbait title was not appropriate. May we all live long and enjoy life as Mr. Hackman, a true legend and inspiration, has and continues to do.

edit: it has come to my attention that the photo is from 2019. Original is below. Still, yes he's 91 now, yes he's amazing.

no fun allowed, I see.
edit: this was shitty of me. I apologize.

(FWIW, if he was dead, I'd have said so. No need to play around that.)
edit2: I genuinely would have been clear, but I get why folks don't like the original title. Sorry.

Pretty shitty title, OP.

That being said, good for Gene. Sounds like he's having a good time.

I often feel a bit of pity for people that need attention from strangers on the internet this badly.

Gotta respect the guy retiring after Welcome to Mooseport and realizing "Wait, what the fuck am I doing?"

Dude couldn't even change the title in an appropriate way.

Now it's just bitterness at the fact that people called him out on a gross title because he thinks we were too sensitive.

Not enough to post shitty clickbait.

Posts misleading clickbait.

Doubles down.

Dumpster fire of a thread.

I miss Gene Hackman in films and can't really believe that the last thing I'll see him in was an episode of Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives.

Not as bad as I expected based on the reactions but clickbait titles in general are awful. I say ban OP for being annoying.

I've mentioned a few times that people doing shit like this shouldn't be able to make threads temporarily (to permanently if they continue) but either the staff don't like the idea or it's not something doable on a technical level.

Reflect on clickbait titles: We obviously like Gene Hackman apparently, but we currently do not like your behavior with creating the thread title.

So yeah, please don't do that again. On a positive note, sick dude. Guy's just chilling in his old age. He's gonna miss out on so many awful things :)

Right?? May we all be so lucky to be 17 years into retirement and doing well enough (health/activity-wise) like him. Damn. Like I said in the OP... KING.
