RIP: Robert Redford 1936-2025

Say "Hi" to Butch for me, Sundance.

What a great man and actor. I once headfirst into him when we both rounded a corner at the Salt Lake City airport.

Damn... I have been expecting that for a while already considering his age, but really wished he would make it to 100. Still remember how his face became familiar to me first time when I was a little kid and loved the ragtime music of The Sting (1973).

So many great roles, but The Natural was just something perfect for me. I played baseball quite a while, and he just embodied a ball player purely.

First Newman, now Redman, we are losing them all until all that is left is memories.

He was one of those actors I had started to believe would somehow be around forever. I was reorganizing some video files the other day and I found the copy of Sneakers I had ripped from my DVD and thought I should watch it again soon. When it first came out, I was told that I should watch it as it would appeal to me, but somehow I only just watched it a couple of years ago when I found the DVD online.

Quite surreal to be watching a movie that was about 30 years old but felt like a new release to me. I'm not sure how I managed to have never seen it in all that time. It was a pretty fun movie too that only slightly over did the representations of "hacking" unlike the movie Hackers which just abstracted things to the point of ridiculousness.

If I caught one of his movies late at night by pure chance, it always felt like I had stumbled on a gem to keep my company for a couple of hours.

Have my condolences. My youngest sister remembered him narrating for as the "voice" of the Goldman Prize by narrating videos of the award recipients.
