Death of director Andre De Toth (House of Wax)

In spite of the fact that he had only one eye, and therefore no depth perception, he directed what is considered to be the best of the 3D movies!

Don't know which is worse - The bump or the fact that no one responded to his death back in 2002.

I'll never forget where I was when I found out he had died : sitting in this chair, at this computer, reading this thread, about thirty seconds ago.

Stay strong brother. We'll get through this together. Never. Forget.

Mods should start warning people for bumping threads with unfunny responses. I actually enjoyed House of Wax (2005)....

I was thinking, Wow, that dude lived a long time. Then I saw the thread was 11 years old

He would have been 101 in a couple of weeks.

NONE SHALL ESCAPE
RAMROD
PITFALL
HOUSE OF WAX
WICHITA

On second thought, maybe I won't.

What's funny (yeah it's an ad lib but still) is that Lloyd can read that sentence instantly but had extreme difficulties reading earlier in the movie.
