Udo Kier, cult actor who brought bug-eyed madness to B-movies and arthouse hits

I’ve been saying for years that whichever political party gets a fourth Rush Hour made is ensured a 50-state landslide in the following election. I’m just sorry that the Democrats were outfoxed again.

This is a brilliant thread.
It was 62 years ago #OnThisDay in 1963 that President John F. Kennedy was assassinated.
