Eli Wallach

[Bored of Canada]

Eli Wallach has died.

Fuck. He was great. Especially as Tuco. Fuck Eastwood. Good the Bad and the Ugly wouldn't have worked without Wallach.

His performance at the end was the closest I've ever come to crying whilst watching a film, all down to his performance. 98 though. Still good innings, I'd say.

Sad news, but 98, etc. The 'ecstasy of gold' scene at the end of TGTBATU is fantastic.



And you've never cried at a film?

Nope. Closest I came was with that film. When Blondie leaves Tuco hanging, slowly choking to death, tears welling in his eyes, choking, desperate, genuinely frightened that this is going to be it.

Aghhhh. Noooooooooooooo! Tuco doesn't deserve that. Tuco is a lovable scamp. He is life. He's fucking ace.
