3. Wow...

Sorry to hear that. I liked Dennis Weaver. Particularly in "McCloud", a show he starred in back in the 70's.

I don't take the "they die in 3's" thing all that seriously. But then you have this weekend...

[FarLeftRage]

Just saw it in LBN

All "D's" were these 3...

I always liked him.

9. Duel captured my imagination as a kid

And still ranks as one of my favorite action films.

Incredibly tight, and it was all held together by Weaver's amazing acting. (He's essentially the only character in the film.)

10. The truck was the other character; great early Spielberg

[Tyrone Slothrop]

11. That's basically what I meant

Although that truck did do a pretty phenomenal job of acting menacing too!

I can't turn it off if I come across it when surfing the various cable channels...
