Tribute and more Tributes...


Some great and unique tributes coming across the wire:



The Simpsons ran a "Dedicated to Paul Newman" card at the end of Sunday's episode with the cel from Paul's episode from a few years ago (he played himself on a bottle of salad dressing and tells Homer who's looking for a spokes-model to ogle after he catches Marge fantasizing about the paper towel man: PLN responds "Homer, like I told Redford, it ain't gonna happen.")



Turner Classic Movies will run an eleven film festival of Paul's movies on Sunday October 12th featuring:



6:00 AM The Rack

8:00 AM Until They Sail

10:00 AM Torn Curtain

12:15 PM Exodus
3:45 PM Sweet Bird of Youth

6:00 PM Hud

8:00 PM Somebody Up There Likes Me

10:00 PM Cool Hand Luke

12:15 AM Cat on a Hot Tin Roof

2:15 AM Rachel, Rachel

4:00 AM The Outrage



Meanwhile, over on AMC, they'll be showing The Hustler and The Sting a bunch of times on Tuesday and Wednesday.



And by far the coolest tribute is that on Saturday, the American Hockey League team, The Syracuse Crunch will be retiring the number 7—Reg Dunlop's number from Slap Shot because much of the movie was shot in their arena.
