LOL ok Newkill200. . . ding ding. . Round One.
Newkill is the poster boy for "Parenting Classes" if his parents would have done a better job we would'nt have to deal with him. So let me pick up where your parents failed. Speaking ill of the dead shows you to have VERY LOW CHARACTER. Failing to realize that shows you have VERY LOW INTELLIGENCE. Remember this your behavior reflects onto your parents. . . . . do you like your parents?. . why would you behave like this? i wish you all the success in the world. . maybe you'll get famous and when you die it will be worthy of posting on a website, and some punk bitch tough guy wimp kid will post horrible things on your RIP forum thread.
we can only hope.
you ready for round 2?

Newkill just likes to get a rise out of people. The best option is to not respond to him

Movieweb needs to start kicking people off like Love&f*ckhead, who don't make any list on their profiles and only write 10 reviews. Useless space.

Love & hopeless, go f*ck yourself. F*cking crybaby. He's f*cking dead and it's pointless. He's a nobody. If Charles Cyphers or Tom Atkins dies, then let me know, because they deserve an article. But this jackass deserves sh*t.

It's a shame Movieweb have no respect for people who use their resources. Allowing members like this moron to persist with such disrespect. He's an idiot and we all know it, but the folk who run this website are clearly worse.
Rip Dom.

then why waste your time commenting on this story? And if you don't like Dom DeLuise, then don't smear the comments with your imature comments. But if you are still at the imature age, then by all means, continue.

Looks to me like Newpus200 has some Mommy Issues. Since when does having as cool of a screen name and avatar as you (!) relate to having a relevant opinion, Newpus200?

Wow I'm behind on the times. I thought he died 20yrs ago, considering he hasn't done anything since the '80s that would immediately pop into your mind's eye when seeing or hearing of him. What's he been doin' these past 2 decades? Retirement? RIP all the same. What a character he was.
