I heard it last night- terrible, tragic news. 

Surely he was one of the most talented actors of the modern age, doing serious roles, Sci Fi (before it was cool!) and into some of the best comedies ever made.  The man was a genius, and I'll miss him.

Even though Leslie Nielson will be remembered for his comedy roles I'll always remember him as the ships captain in the original Poseiden Adventure. It was one of my favorite movies as a kid.

I heard it this morning as well. Was a fan, always liked him. I never cared much for his more serious roles although I did like Forbidden Planet, it was his comedy that I always enjoyed. He will be missed.

He made my Grandparents Parents Myself, and through his "Scary Movie Appearances" my two boys laugh...I always loved how he could deadpan something so funny without ever reacting to it..He would do something so silly on screen and maintain such a serious demeanor I would die laughing..He was definetely one of a kind!

Yeah, sad to hear about that one too.

Everyone in the next little while is probably going to talk about how great Empire was, just to pay lip service.  I'm seeing it a bit in the reports already, but the reality was, that while it may have been the "least" of the three original films, it had to be.  The first part of a trilogy sets up the story and introduces the characters, and the last part is the climax- it's where everyone is put through the ringer, and succeeds or fails, then the story is brought to an end.  The middle part doesn't fit in typical cinema, as you already know the characters, and there can be no real end, because it's not the end of the story.  As such, middle parts of trilogies are always seen as less than the others, since it's really just a mechanism to move people around to where they need to be for the grande finale. 

Given the limitations of a "middle film" like Empire, I think he excelled.  There were so many memorable moments in Empire, most notably Leia finally admitting in the open that she loves Han, and him responding in typical Han Solo fashion.  Something like that could never have been taken so seriously anywhere else, in any of the other movies, and I don't think many other directors could have really pulled a moment like that off.

He will be greatly missed as well.

Wouldn't be just like him to have
