James Garner - Page 7 - PeachParts Mercedes-Benz Forum

For those putting forth their usual belittle Larry rhetoric:

My first statement about Garner was basically a statement of my superficial impression of the man. Once the truth about the man came in, infortunately my impression of the man was changed. Although his military service clearly demands respect, his admitted decades of illegal drug use trumps it. He is not the first person that ever took a bad turn in his life and nullified good behavior with decades of criminality.

The irony here is that all the flaming liberals on here that have constantly accused me of being incapable of reevaluating as the information changes, are showing their extreme hypocrisy. They don't want me to change unless I change in a direction that agrees with their personal position.

Don't feel bad, that's just the natural mantra of a liberal. They claim to be the only ones with tolerance, except they show their intolerance for those who don't agree with them. They claim to be the open minded, but refuse to listen to someone else's opinion unless it agrees with their own.

The additional giggle from this thread is seeing liberals make a list of hero's for someone else and the list is not at all accurate, only showing their own preconceived notion of who a conservative holds as a hero. It shows nothing beyond their own arrogance and belligerence by trying to put such words in someone else's mouth. Again, the natural mantra of a liberal. Belligerence and arrogance.

I only have one true hero and he wasn't on the list.

So have you nullified your own good behavior with decades of criminality? How many times have you broken the speed limit or jaywalked in the last 40 years?

Actually those flamin' liberals are just having a good laugh over folks who deride Hollywood liberal sleazoids, while falling for the P.R. crafted image of an actor who, by some peculiar standards, apparently pegs the liberal sleazoid-o-meter. Not talking about you of course Larry, but can you explain to me how one individual can simultaneously corner the market on gullibility AND cynicism?

You do not set the standards for open-mindedness on this forum.

They're your people. Have the fortitude to not callously abandon them.

james garner was a great actor and RIP.

not sure how an RIP thread was turned into yet another circle jerk by the forum troll larry, but he should be ashamed of himself for poisoning a RIP thread with his non stop bullshlt. give it a rest for once, everyone knows your extreme judgement of everyone around you, no need to voice it endlessly in every thread on this forum. you dont like mr garner, fine, go home and sulk about it and shut up, secure in your belief that you are a better man. in contributions to mankind, hes a little ahead of you.

returning to james garner, i never caught any of his early work, but was a huge fan of the great escape, support your local gunfighter, and enjoyed some of his later work in movies like space cowboys. in that particular role i find his playing the womanizer and clint playing the faithful husband pretty funny considering clints real life shenanigans.
think ill take a look at some of the maverick episodes and other tv work. wasnt aware of just how much stuff hes actually done.

Maverick was the first time I remember seeing him. He was the best of all the Maverick brothers.

He really was, and what a shame that the local troll has ruined this thread and denigrated a deceased man who probably helped way more people in his lifetime than many of us here on the forum.

Frankly, the constant trolling and victim playing is pretty lame. People that claim to be righteous and grandiose pillars of society frequently have skeletons in their closets.

I suspect that many people have dropped out of this place because a certain troll stomps around and acts like The spawn of Limbaugh and the Duggar family.

You need diaper for all the merde that ejaculates into your posts.

Decades of criminality? Get real.

Decades of admitted pot smoking. Pot is illegal. Thus decades of criminality. Criminal by definition and admission. Absolutely undeniable.

Larry once more puts the law of the land on a pedestal. Apparently unaware that most of the unjust and just plain stupid laws that existed in this country and elsewhere that eventually were sent to a well deserved sleep did so because of widespread disobedience of those laws.

Unwilling to consider that maybe the law is at fault, he is eminently willing to dump on a guy he claimed to like and admire several days back. That man must be at fault and Larry's judgment in the matter flawless. What other possibility is there?

Good one. Somehow I liked him better as Jim Rockford than as a cowboy. He was good enough at it but it wasn't his strongest point IMO.

t walgamuth · #**101** 07-25-2014, 07:52 PM

I can't think of a role I did not like him in.

Space Cowboys. Meh

He just seemed to modern and urban to be believable as a denizen of the old west.

Too much manscaping?

The only film I saw of his I didn't like was 'Tank' which I thought had a very thin and predictable plot. But Garner was able to pull the film up, or as they say 'He rose above the material'.

It did $11 mil in initial release, not bad for 1984 numbers.
