Leslie Nielsen, RIP

The entertainment world suffered a great loss on Monday, when actor Leslie Nielsen passed away at the age of 84.  Nielsen is no doubt best known for his portrayal of the bumbling Lt. Frank Drebin in The Naked Gun, but he also starred in darker fare, such as the classic 1956 sci-fi film Forbidden Planet.  And horror fans will never forget his turn as a sadistic cuckold in 1982's Creepshow.  Check out the pair of clips below from the Creepshow segment
"Something to Tide you Over," in which Nielsen (as Richard Vickers) exacts some unusual seaside vengeance against his cheating wife Becky and her lover Harry.

Please note: Disagreement is inevitable; disparagement is intolerable. You can differ from someone else's opinion without having to resort to an attack on that person (any improper/insulting commentary will be deleted from this blog). So please remember to show some civility to your M.R. brethren. Thanks--Joe.
