    Rémy Julienne (17 April 1930 - 21 January 2021) was a French driving stunt performer, stunt coordinator, assistant director and occasional actor. He was also a former rallycross champion and 1956 French motorcross champion.

    He was a veteran of over 1,400 films. Notable large film projects in which he has arranged stunts, consulted or manufactured special stunt cars include The Italian Job[2] and six James Bond films, five of which were directed by John Glen and three with his sons Dominique and Michel. (Wikipedia)


    Rémi Julienne died yesterday from the Covid. Rip.
    “Strength is the lot of but a few privileged men; but austere perseverance, harsh and continuous, may be employed by the smallest of us and rarely fails of its purpose, for its silent power grows irresistibly greater with time.” Goethe

    I'm sorry, but why was he working? He doesn't need the money, and tests and social distancing in a closed room only reduce risk, they do not remove it completely.

    Well, I guess he loves doing comedy. Nothing more complicated than that.

    There came a time when the Old Gods died! The Brave died with the Cunning! The Noble perished locked in battle with unleashed Evil! It was the last day for them! An ancient era was passing in fiery holocaust!

    It's possible, but not yet confirmed, that Larry King's death may have been a result of COVID or from complications related to it.

    Well, I love going to the gym and eating at restaurants.

    But I'm a fucking adult, so I realize it's a pandemic and I better get take-way and do pushups at home.

    You do have a point there. Though considering how much he smokes, I guess health is not a #1 priority for him.

    I think the thing that upsets me the most is that he's doing it in Texas. **** is out of control there, and just because you can doesn't mean you should.

    There's also the parade of photos he's had taken with various groups of people, pretty much all without masks. Sets a bad example when we still need large swaths of the country to take the pandemic seriously. A year later and over 400,000 dead, and Dave's out there doing live shows and posing for photo ops without a mask.

    Bummer.

    And now he's become an example of how that kind of behavior gets you infected.

    And he's a wealthy celebrity so he will most likely be fine, which will encourage the "most recover, so whatever" mentality.

    Don't forget that he's a black guy who might have to face the American medical community now, if he becomes symptomatic.

    They almost let Serena Williams die because she's black.

    That is a fair point.

    Just another reason he shouldn't have been doing this.
