A nice reminder by BigFo	Mar 5th, 2007 12:29:18 PM
that geekiness extends to more than the latest fanboy debate over nipple flames. Thanks for keeping us in check FG.
Wow, BatPsychp... by Childe Roland	Mar 5th, 2007 12:30:59 PM
...you got to post first in an article about someone's death. How proud you must be. Sad news, this, but the man led a fantastic and full life. Godspeed.
Sadly, he's the Overlooked Tarzan by Doctor_Sin	Mar 5th, 2007 12:40:36 PM
Weismuller and Crabbe get all the press memories. RIP, Herman/Bruce. Thanks for the jungle action.
When will Congress ever pass the Balance Medicine Act? by anchorite	Mar 5th, 2007 12:40:54 PM
Elderly people are more at risk for serious injuries resulting from falls, and too often they end up dying from complications, like Mr. Brix/Bennett did. It is very much avoidable, but Congress has been dragging their feet for over a decade to establish Balance Medicine protocol for nursing homes and assisted living centers. Whenever I hear of an elderly person dying of complications arising from a fall, it both saddens and angers me. Mr. Brix/Bennett seems to have led a very exciting life full of accomplishments (living past 100 being only the most recent of them). May you rest in peace, Mr. B.
Thanks for the push Father Geek...Im watching Treasure! by JimmyLoneWolf	Mar 5th, 2007 12:54:27 PM
I've owned Treasure of the Sierra Madre for months but haven't watched it yet...thats about to change, in honor of Herman Brix! I have a feeling I'm in for a real treat. Great to hear from you Father Geek...you are a legend around here!
Edgar Rice Burroughs thought him the ideal Tarzan. by riskebiz	Mar 5th, 2007 01:12:57 PM
I think it's on record that ERB though Herman Brix was the closest visual and otherwise representation of Tarzan.
Way to go BatPsycho...1st on a Eulogy, Yeah! by oscarbait	Mar 5th, 2007 01:16:59 PM
For your next trick will you attempt to breathe oxygen?
RIP by newc0253	Mar 5th, 2007 01:19:22 PM
just outta curiosity, did he have a brother named Hans who was a weapons inspector?
heh. by TheTagger	Mar 5th, 2007 01:36:58 PM
When I saw the headline, all I could think of was Kim Jong Il from Team America saying, "Hans Brix?? Ahh no!"
I too assumed he was long gone... by Alonzo Mosely	Mar 5th, 2007 02:11:28 PM
Good for him that he broke 100... Oh and can being a dick in an obit thread become an automatic ban?
Treasure Of Sierra Madre by Uncapie	Mar 5th, 2007 02:13:02 PM
A small, but pivitol role. He retired from the movie business for a while and became very wealthy with his investments. He did alright for himself and left a great legacy behind.
For classic film lovers...... by Mister Man	Mar 5th, 2007 02:18:14 PM
he played Joan Crawford's husband in "Mildred Pierce" (Best Actress winner - film nominated for Best Picture, Cinematography, screenplay and two Supporting Actresses).
Oh No...not Hans Brix! by Kentucky Colonel	Mar 5th, 2007 02:36:13 PM
Derka-Derka
If you... by Darth John The Cockstrong Lad	Mar 5th, 2007 02:45:47 PM
... chopped his body up and ate it, eventually, you'd be shittin' Brix!
Wow, I thought he was long gone... by Otter	Mar 5th, 2007 05:30:46 PM
...glad to hear he lived a long, fruitful life. He was the SHIT in Daredevils of the Red Circle! I even think he did one or two Stooges shorts as well. Thanks for the entertainment, Mr. Brix.
you know it's a sad occassion... by purplemonkeydw	Mar 5th, 2007 05:50:21 PM
but damn if Team America jokes aren't a hilarious fit for this tragedy
Father Geek, glad you're around to tell us these things by siouxfire	Mar 5th, 2007 06:36:33 PM
Nice one. Thanks.
"brix"was always my wrestler name by white owl	Mar 5th, 2007 07:10:21 PM
in any wrestling game for ps2
Hans Brix..? by workshed	Mar 5th, 2007 07:48:24 PM
Sorry, just had to have a little chuckle - Team America still makes me laugh. When are we going to get a sequel..? BTW Bruce was fantastic in Treasure but it was Huston's show all the way and how many Bogart movies can you say that about..?
Rip Mr. Herman Brix by CarmillaVonDoom	Mar 5th, 2007 08:32:10 PM
BTW, notice how DOLTS like BatPsycho never come back to respond, or bother to contribute anything of worth or value to the discussion?

He's fallen and he can't get up!!!(Anymore) by Borgnine JR	Mar 6th, 2007 10:37:51 AM
Unless you count gettin' up to Heaven.
Most people don't realize by feckdrinkarse	Mar 6th, 2007 11:12:21 AM
Most people don't realize that large pieces of coral, which have been painted brown and attached to the skull by common wood screws, can make a child look like a deer.
Kentucky Colonel, I came looking for a Hans Brix joke by YackBacker	Mar 6th, 2007 03:12:30 PM
And you delivered. You get a ten, monkey!
This Is Madness... by buster00	Mar 7th, 2007 01:53:34 PM
