I grew up on Goonies and Lethal Weapon. We Definitely lost one of our great American filmmakers today.

Richard Donner was arguably one of the most influential people in cinema. He put some of the most iconic film characters ever on the big screen, and I like to think that as long as those characters live on, a piece of Mr. Donner will as well. Goonies never say die.

Those Superman films were probably the first thing I ever saw about a superhero. I’m a big Goonies fan as well and I’m suppose to be meeting Kerri Green (Andy) in September.

I know that Donner was still talking about potentially directing Lethal Weapon 5, so you had to admire the man’s drive. It’s sad to see him go.

In addition to his Superman films, I’ve also enjoyed his stints into horror, namely The Omen and his Tales from the Crypt episodes (“Dig that Cat…He’s Real Gone” with Joe Pantoliano and Robert Wuhl, “The Ventriloquist’s Dummy” with Bobcat Goldthwait and Don Rickles, and “Showdown” with David Morse and Neil Giuntoli).

I saw this earlier. It makes me very sad. I loved Superman and he made several other movies I love as well, including The Omen, Ladyhawke, and the Lethal Weapon films.

A true artist RIP. Superman made me believe a man could fly! Such an incredible depth of work. Ladyhawke, Scrooged, and so much classic television.
