WWE legend William James Myers, better known by his wrestling name George "The Animal" Steele, has died at the age of 79.
The WWE made the announcement on Friday, remembering Steele as "one of the wildest and most unpredictable Superstars in sports-entertainment history."
A well-educated man, Steele received a Master's Degree from Central Michigan University and spent time as a high school teacher and wrestling coach in the Detroit area before turning to sports entertainment.
Steele earned the nickname, The Animal, for the way he tore up turnbuckles with his teeth while sticking out his green tongue.

Aside from wrestling, Steele made his mark on the world of entertainment through his roles in films like Ed Wood, Blowfish and Small Town Conspiracy.
Steele's passing prompted fellow wrestling greats like Hulk Hogan and Triple H to share their condolences on social media.

Crack-Up
Written by John Paxton, Ben Bengal and Ray Spencer
Directed by Irving Reis
U.S.A., 1946
A reoccurring question in the ongoing study and appreciation of art is whether art reflects life or vice versa. The real answer ostensibly lies somewhere in the middle, each informing and influencing the other, both embraced in seamless synchronicity. Knowing that, it stands to reason that art can, in effect, comment on itself and has at many a given opportunity in history. When done well one artistic medium may be utilized to comment on another, such as in the 1946 film Crack-Up, directed by Irving Reis. By no means a project lacking in potential, it misses the mark in some key respects, staying afloat with handsome visuals and capable leading actors.

The IMDb250. A list of the top 250 films as ranked by the users of the biggest Internet movie site on the web. It is based upon the ratings provided by the users of the Internet Movie Database, which number into the millions. As such, it’s a perfect representation of the opinions of the movie masses, and arguably the most comprehensive ranking system on the Internet.
It’s because of this that we at HeyUGuys (and in this case we is myself and Barry) have decided to set ourselves a project. To watch and review all 250 movies on the list. We’ve frozen the list as of January 1st of this year. It’s not as simple as it sounds, we are watching them all in one year, 125 each.
This is our 38th update, my next five films watched for the project. You can find all our previous week’s updates here.
