goodbye, city life!

Eddie Albert died the day the remake of The Longest Yard released in theaters. Now if that isn't irony at its saddest, I don't know what is.

Albert is one of those actors you grow up watching. Every generation will have these, and he was part of mine. And I don't just mean from the safe and silly confines of Green Acres, either. Albert acted in numerous feature films during his career: Roman Holiday, Oklahoma!, The Longest Day, The Heartbreak Kid, The Longest Yard, Escape To Witch Mountain, The Devil's Rain, and as The President in the little-seen, whacked-out Dreamscape, a film of such loopy, guilt-soaked fun that you might wet yourself.

The schmaltzy closer would be to say that acres or no, he has definitely moved on to greener pastures. But I prefer this:
Dun-dun dun-dun-dun, DUHHN DUHHN!
