This is very sad. Honestly one of my generations favorite actor. Nostalgic. I've kept thinking for a few years, just wait he's gonna have a comeback somehow. I wished it. RIP.

As someone who has a tracheostomy tube in his neck, it can be pretty demoralizing not having a voice anymore.

Plus, it's fucking gross. Secretions (I fucking hate this word, but it's the medically accurate term. It's just unprocessed snot) shoot out all the time. You can limit it based on diet and allergies, but it's disgusting to deal with and see, especially in public. It's why I don't eat in restaurants anymore.

I cannot speak on Val's experience, but if it was anything like mine, he may not have had much drive to make any kind of effective comeback.

Edit: Not to mention the looks and attention you get. I'm able to move around and walk and go into town and I get looks. I don't notice it much anymore after 7 years, but it's there and can definitely mess with you.

Ghost in the Darkness is an underrated gem.

Yup. So underrated that I hardly see most cinephile openly discussing nor recommended to watch this film. It's also my father's favourite film.

Many people didn't like it, but I loved The Saint. I spoke to him a few times around ten years ago. Rest in peace, Val. <3

I still sometimes shout "I...feel...BETTER!" when I feel better.

I think his role in heat was criminally under appreciated. His performance in a supporting role in this film would have earned him critical acclaim in any other movie!

That would be my first choice too. It was the first film I ever saw in the theater also, I was 8 years old. I blame my Grandma for my love of Fantasy films. RIP to both Val and my Grandma, love you both. Even though I never knew Val, love him anyway.

I would just like to point out if you would like to honor Mr kilmer and have some fun real genius is free right now on YouTube movies. You are welcome. I'm reminded of the immortal words of Socrates who said I drank what?
