Sad day for me. #GeneHackman (Gene Hackman) #RiP The movie ‘The Sting’ is being heavily promoted, which was fantastic, however I’ll best remember him in ‘The Conversation’ https://trakt.tv/movies/the-conversation-1974

    God, I hate “RIP”. Take something already performative and divorced of meaning, and turn it into a tacky acronym, a verbal tic to be belched into comment threads, standing in for an emotional expression of respect and recognition, but doing the exact opposite of that.
