God's New Slavic Doctor

I think we'll all remember where we were when we heard that actor Henry Gibson had died. For those ignorant few, Henry Gibson is the talented actor who portrayed Dr. Werner Klopek in the supreme 1989 movie, The 'burbs. You may also remember him as Ike Roscoe, the guy who was supposed to be executed but memorably hid in a photocopier while on the lam in the movie Switching Channels.


The 'burbs is one of my favorite movies of all time and never gets old. I'm not sure if it's a coincidence, but HBO has been running it over the past week or so. I'm assuming it's a coincidence that it's around Gibson's death because it's not like they've been airing Road House or Next of Kin lately.
