RIP, Val.

The ghost and the darkness. I liked that movie years ago when it came out, mainly because of Kilmer.

That’s a movie that would NEVER be made today.

"Whyyy, Johnny Ringo. You look you somebody just........walked over your grave."

I remember the audible gasps in the theater the first time I saw that movie. Great moment to experience live, and a great look at how Val crushed that role. How he didn't win Best Supporting Actor for playing Doc will forever be a mystery.

I just learned there is controversy over what Kilmers line was in Tombstone and the actual meaning:


In Tombstone, did Doc say "I'm your Huckleberry" or "I'm your huckle bearer"? And what did he mean?

People have long quoted this wrong.

A huckle bearer is also the term they used for pall bearer. The huckle is the handle on the side of the coffin.

Well, whomever you picked that up from is an idiot

It was a guy on Siruis radio. So I googled it.


Apparently Kilmer stated he didn’t remember, but his accent may have caused the confusion.

Look it up. And you back that queen again and I'll blow you up that wildcats ass!

Val Kilmer titled his memoir "I'm Your Huckleberry: A Memoir" and has explained it was in the script as "huckleberry" and that it's an idiom that means, "I'm your man for the job" or thereabouts.

Well that settles that then.

Not sure why there is a controversy and how it started? The internet is stupid.

RIP to one of the best of all time, his Doc Holliday performance is just unforgettable, gone too soon. 😢

Curly Bill and the rest of us say goodbye to a cinematic icon. RIP.

A genuine movie star, none of these new guys even come close... RIP, Val

Kevrunner, looking at the image on that video still...he would have made an excellent Albert wesker for a resident evil film.

That's too bad. He was in some really cheezy scifi movies. RIP. Cancer sucks.
