    Farewell sir. Thanks for all the laughs.

    Kevin Pollack’s fantastic story about torturing Alan Arkin. Skip to 1:30 if you want to hear his answering machine prank.

    RIP to one of the all time greats. As a kid the movie In Laws with Arkin and Peter Falk was so unreasonably funny to me that I couldn’t believe a movie so humourous could even exist.

    Also Deadhead Miles is one of my all time favorite movies. It is such a strange glimpse of the American road and Arkin just breathes fire into every scene with his ridiculous energy.
