   I would like to spend a moment in this thread to remember all the   
   entertainment and many fine performances of Robert Duvall. I am not   
   interested in De Niro's opinion of Trump nor your opinion of anything   
   but Duvall.   
      
   If you want to ruin a thread, start your own. Stay out of on topic   
   threads that I start.
