Dino De Laurentiis Dead At 91.

One of the most prolific producers of modern times has passed on.

It's amazing because, love him or hate him, Dino did a lot to give us entertainment, both good and bad. For that fact alone we should be giving unending thanks.

Especially me, since it is from a semi-steady diet of Dino-produced flicks from which I have grown up into the nice, strong, cynical movie-lover I am today.

Let us then look at some trailers for the man's product and remember just what it was about Dino that made us all love him (if perhaps not the product itself).

Eet's about-a dis beeg monkey...



Eet's about-a dis beeg shark...



Eet's about-a dis beeg buffalo...



Eet's about-a dis beeg mishandled Frankie Herbert book...



And eet's about-a dis beeg cheen.



And that's only a few of what he's done. Dino did a lot more in his career but I'll remember all the big stuff, that's for sure.

Rest in peace, Dino.

Dope out.
