I was gonna make a smooth jazz joke but Bootsy’s endorsement is cred enough for me not to.

I remember him best from when he was the bad boss Dolly Parton, Lily Tomlin, and Jane Fonda strung up in 9 to 5.
RIP
Cool dude, always enjoyed him. Wargames is what I remember him best for.

Buffalo Bill was an entertaining two seasons of Dabney. Betcha nobody remembers that.
RIP
I remember that he had a show called that, but I don't remember anything else about it. Like, was he a weather man or a private investigator or the ghost of a mob accountant trying to right the misdeeds of his life. Either way I'm sure hijinks ensued.
RIP
I remember him mostly from his appearances on tv in the 70's and also from the Inspector Gadget movie my son and I saw in 1998.
And then on video lots of times.
He played the crooked cop to the crooked mayor. Shot in Pgh.

Guess eating all that McDonald’s was bad for him.

Weird. I feel like I've seen multiple posts/articles in the last week about Supersize Me. In hindsight, that documentary was problematic. Still, Spurlock did a TON for documentary film. His 30 Days show was really interesting as well. **** cancer.

I just read that the bass player from Train slipped and fell in a shower and died at 58.

Spurlock was Schrödinger's director. Simultaneously the best and worst of documentary filmmaking. Very good at crafting and presenting a narrative, very bad at disclosing pertinent information that might otherwise affect the interpretation of that narrative.
(Michael Moore is in this camp, too, imo.)

I'm sure you were aware of this:Spurlock was Schrödinger's director. Simultaneously the best and worst of documentary filmmaking. Very good at crafting and presenting a narrative, very bad at disclosing pertinent information that might otherwise affect the interpretation of that narrative.
(Michael Moore is in this camp, too, imo.)
For 60 days, beginning April 27, 2011, the city of Altoona, Pennsylvania (home of Sheetz, one of the movie's major sponsors) ceremonially changed its name to "POM Wonderful Presents: The Greatest Movie Ever Sold, Pennsylvania" to help Spurlock promote the film, and received $25,000 for doing so.
