Ok, so, I said I should make a masterlist of Robert Vaughn roles and whether or not each character survived, so here it is, under the cut--presented in chronological order of release/airdate, here are the roles that @ksturf and/or I have seen (will be updated as we see more).
(Obviously, spoilers...)
Hamlet (Hamlet) -- death by poisoned blade
Pharaonic solider (Ten Commandments) -- death by Red Sea re-merge
Idol Worshipper (Ten Commandments) -- death by the wrath of God (yup, two bit parts in this move, and they both got killed off...)
Mr. Beekman (Father Knows Best) -- survives
Bob Ford (Hell’s Crossroads) -- survives
Buddy Root (No Time to Be Young) -- survives
Billy Jack (Zane Gray Theater) -- death by gunshot
Johnny Adler (Zane Gray Theater) -- survives
Kid (Gunsmoke) -- death by gunshot (after literally twenty seconds onscreen)

George Jones (State Trooper) -- death by execution

Asa Bannister (The Rebel) -- survives
Perry Holcomb (Men into Space) -- survives (just barely)
Lee (The Magnificent Seven) -- death by gunshot I REFUSE TO ACCEPT THIS; YOU CAN’T MAKE ME 😭
Sandy Kayle (Laramie) -- death by gunshot/rock slide combo (I think; it’s been a while since I seen this one)

Roy Pelham (Wagon Train) -- survives
Roger Bigelow (Wagon Train) -- survives
Dr. Frank Cordell (Thriller) -- death by falling

Walter Chalmers (Bullitt) -- survives
Antonio (If it’s Tuesday, it Must be Belgium) -- survives
Paul Krueger (The Bridge at Remagen) -- death by execution
Casca (Julius Caesar) -- not entirely sure, but seeing as though he is last mentioned by an angry mob out to get him and is never seen after that, I’m going to guess death by angry mob

Win a Blu-Ray copy of BOTTLE ROCKET, THE SWORD OF DOOM and MONTEREY POP from The Criterion Collection
Three new titles from The Criterion Collection are coming to the UK this month and we have a copy of each - BOTTLE ROCKET, THE SWORD OF DOOM and MONTEREY POP - on Blu-Ray to give away to one lucky winner.
For your chance to win, simply send us the answer to the following question as well as your name and address to [email protected]
What did Jimi Hendrix famously set on fire during his set at Monterey?
BOTTLE ROCKET
Wes Anderson first illustrated his lovingly detailed, slightly surreal cinematic vision in this witty and warm portrait of three young middleclass misfits. Fresh out of a mental hospital, gentle Anthony (Luke Wilson) finds himself once again embroiled in the machinations of his best friend, elaborate schemer Dignan (Owen Wilson). With the aid of getaway driver Bob (Robert Musgrave), they develop a needlessly complex, mildly successful plan to rob a small bookstore — then go “on the lam.” Also featuring Lumi Cavazos as Inez, the South American housekeeper Anthony falls in love with, and James Caan as local thief extraordinaire Mr. Henry, Bottle Rocket is a charming, hilarious, affectionate look at the folly of dreamers. Shot against radiant southwestern backdrops, it’s the film that put Anderson and the Wilson brothers on the map.
DIRECTOR-APPROVED SPECIAL EDITION FEATURES • Restored high-definition digital transfer supervised and approved by director Wes Anderson and director of photography Robert Yeoman • Dolby Digital 5.1 soundtrack (DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 on Blu-ray) • Commentary by director/co-writer Anderson and co-writer/star Owen Wilson • The Making of “Bottle Rocket”: an original documentary by filmmaker Barry Braverman • The original thirteen-minute black-and-white Bottle Rocket short film from 1992 • 11 deleted scenes • Anamorphic screen test, storyboards, location photos, and behind-the-scenes photographs by Laura Wilson
• The Shafrazi Lectures, no. 1: Bottle Rocket
• Murita Cycles, a 1978 short film by Braverman
THE SWORD OF DOOM
TATSUYA NAKADA (Harakiri) and TOSHIRO MIFUNE (Yojimbo) star in the story of a wandering samurai who exists in a maelstrom of violence. A gifted swordsman plying his craft during the turbulent final days of shogunate rule in Japan, Ryunosuke (Nakadai) kills without remorse or mercy. It is a way of life that ultimately leads to madness. Kihachi Okamoto’s swordplay classic is the thrilling tale of a man who chooses to devote his life to evil.
SPECIAL EDITION FEATURES • New high-definition digital restoration, with uncompressed monaural soundtrack • Audio commentary featuring film historian Stephen Prince • Trailer • PLUS: An essay by critic Geoffrey O’Brien
MONTEREY POP
On a beautiful June weekend in 1967, at the beginning of the Summer of Love, the first and only Monterey International Pop Festival roared forward, capturing a decade’s spirit and ushering in a new era of rock and roll. Monterey featured career-making performances by JIMI HENDRIX, JANIS JOPLIN, and OTIS REDDING, but they were just a few performers in a wildly diverse lineup that included SIMON AND GARFUNKEL, THE MAMAS AND THE PAPAS, THE WHO, THE BYRDS, HUGH MASEKELA, and the extraordinary RAVI SHANKAR. With his characteristic vérité style—and a camera crew that included the likes of Albert Maysles and Richard Leacock— D. A. PENNEBAKER (Don't Look Back) captured it all, immortalizing moments that have become legend: Pete Townshend smashing his guitar, Jimi Hendrix burning his, Mama Cass being blown away by Janis Joplin’s performance. The Criterion Collection is proud to present the most comprehensive document of the Monterey International Pop Festival ever produced.
DIRECTOR-APPROVED SPECIAL EDITION FEATURES • New 16-bit 4K digital restoration of Monterey Pop, supervised by director D. A. Pennebaker • Restored high-definition digital transfers of Jimi Plays Monterey and Shake! Otis at Monterey • Alternate soundtracks for all three films featuring 5.1 mixes by legendary recording engineer Eddie Kramer, presented in DTS-HD Master Audio
• THE OUTTAKE PERFORMANCES: Two hours of performances not included in
Monterey Pop
• Audio commentaries by Pennebaker and festival producer Lou Adler, and music
critics and historians Charles Shaar Murray and Peter Guralnick • New interviews with Adler and Pennebaker • Chiefs (1968), a short film by cameraman Richard Leacock, which played alongside Monterey Pop during its inaugural theatrical run • Interviews from 2002 with Adler and Pennebaker and with Phil Walden, Otis
Redding’s manager • Audio interviews with festival producer John Phillips, festival publicist Derek Taylor, and performers Cass Elliot and David Crosby • Photo-essay by photographer Elaine Mayes
• Monterey International Pop Festival scrapbook
• More! • PLUS: A booklet featuring essays by critics Michael Chaiken, Armond White, David Fricke, Barney Hoskyns, and Michael Lydon

Cole World
Today marks the 32nd birthday of Jermaine Lamar Cole, a.k.a. J.Cole. J.Cole released his first mixtape in 2007 before catching the eye of Jay Z and eventually being signed to Roc Nation in 2009. Since then J.Cole has risen to being one of the top artist today. Here we will rank J.Cole’s top mixtapes and Albums. Lets see what lands at number one!
Mixtapes
4. Truly Yours & Truly Yours 2
Release Date: February 12 and April 30, 2013
Features: Young Jeezy, Bas, 2 Chainz
Although Truly Yours and Truly Yours 2 was an EP, we decided to add it to the mixtape realm. With fans waiting for Cole to drop his second album this gave fans some music to listen to in the meantime. It was a good way to keep fans anticipating while still putting out good music for his core fans.
Top Tracks: “Can I holla at ya”, “Kenny Lofton”, “Stay”, “3 Wishes”
3. The Come up
Release Date: May 4, 2007
Features: Deacon, Nervous Reck
The Come Up was J.Cole’s first mixtape. Some would call it a classic, either way it showcased his skills and talent for storytelling and caused people to keep a close eye on the upcoming rapper.
Top Tracks: “Dollar and a dream”, “Simba”, “College Boy”, “Dead Presidents”
2. Friday Night Lights
Release Date: November 12, 2010
Features: Wale, Omen, Drake
With a lot of pressure to release his first album and fans waiting for music, J.Cole released his third mixtape, Friday Night Lights. J.Cole took fans on a ride of yearning for success and viewing the world from his own trials and tribulations. This mixtape was so well received that it crashed his site. This was definitely one of the smartest moves he made in his career.
Top Tracks: “Too deep for the intro”, “Blow up”, “Higher”, “In the morning”, “Premeditated murder” “Farewell”
1. The Warm Up
Release Date: June 15, 2009
Features: Brandon Hines, Omen, Lee Fields & the Expressions
J.Cole released his second mixtape in 2009 and has been on a high every since. This mixtape showed J.Cole in his truest form of what fans have grown to love from him. It even caused Jay Z to sign J,Cole to Roc Nation after he heard “Lights Please” which is still a fan favorite even in 2017. J,Cole’s ability to storytell and be relatable is what has helped him to stay consistent in a game where most new artists tend to fall off. When new fans want to know which body of work describes J.Cole best, just tell them to play The Warm Up.
Top Tracks: “Can I live”, “Lights Please”, “Dreams”, “Knock Knock”, “Hold it down”, “Losing my balance”
Albums
4. Cole World: Sideline Story
Release Date: September 27, 2011
Features: Jay Z, Trey Songz, Drake, Missy Elliot
With three critically acclaimed mixtapes under his belt, fans were ready to hear what J.Cole had in store for his first studio album. Although, he had three hit radio singles under his belt with “Work out”, “Can’t get enough”, and “Nobdy’s Perfect”, fans were a bit underwhelmed with his debut album. Either way fans did support the album by making it debut at number one on the Billboard 200 chart and sold over 200,000 copies in the first week.
Top Tracks: “Can’t get enough”, “Workout”, Nobody’s Perfect”, “Lost ones”
3. Born Sinner
Release Date: June 18, 2013
Features: Kendrick Lamar, Miguel, Jhene Aiko, Amber Coffman, 50 Cent, James Fauntleroy, Bas, TLC
With fans being somewhat disappointed with J.Cole’s first album there was a bit more pressure riding on his sophomore. And too quote Cole, “Cole under pressure, what that make? Diamonds.” Cole knew he had a gem in his hand when he decided to release the album the same day as Kanye West Yeezus dropped. J.Cole definitely delivered with Born Sinner. It showcased the darkness to J.Cole finding light at the end of the tunnel. He released effortless singles that was able to still keep his core fans and find new ones as well. The album debuted at number two and climbed to number one during it’s third week on the Billboard 200 chart.
Top Tracks: “Power Trip”, “Crooked smile”, “She knows”, “Forbidden fruit”, “Let Nas Down”
2. 4 Your Eyez Only
Release Date: December 9, 2016
Features: None
J.Cole surprised fans when it was announced that he will be releasing his fourth album exactly two years after his last one. He previously announced that he was going to take a break for awhile, so fans were more than pleased that there would be some new music dropping. Twitter and the rest of social media went mayhem with tons of funny videos and memes anticipating the release. Fans were pleasantly please but it is an album that grows on you more and more you listen to it. You appreciate the growth and depth of J.Cole. Not only as an artist but as a man in this dog eat dog world business. He has remained to stay humble and confident, and still remain relevant and prominent in hip hop through his music. And what a moment to announce to the world the birth of his first child through the track “She’s mine pt 2″. 4 Your Eyez Only debuted at number one, making it J.Cole’s fourth consecutive number one on the Billboard 200 charts and it is now gold with no features.
Top Tracks: “Deja vu”, “Immortal”, “She’s mine pt 1″, “She’s mine pt 2”., “Neighbors”
1. 2014 Forest Hills Drive
Release Date: December 9, 2014
Features: None
J.Cole released his third studio album 2014 Forest Hills and although it was leaked ahead of time, that didn't stop it from being one of the best albums to release that year. He promoted the album by letting people know about the first house he grew up in with his mother and brother. He bought the house after it foreclosed and rented it out nearly free for single mothers and their kids. He also gave fans a chance to listen to the album before it actually dropped. Once it was released fans and fellow artists took to social media to celebrate Cole and relish at what a great body of work he put together. J.Cole went on tour, performing every song from the album to sold out crowds. The album went straight to number one on the billboard 200. The album went certified double platinum with no features. Yes people...NO FEATURES! This was such a milestone moment for J.Cole in his career and for hip hop. This is why 2014 Forest Hills Drive lands at number overall of his best work.
Top Tracks: “Wet Dreamz”, “A Tale of 2 Citiez”, “Fire Squad”, “G.O.M.D.”, “No Role Modelz, “Apparently”, “Love Yourz”
J.Cole has put in work since stepping into the music scene and by making sure you know where he stands as an artist. As he continues to elevate in his career, we look forward to seeing what else the Dreamville rapper has to offer.
Happy Birthday J.Cole!

🦊 June Elliot 🦊
NAME june elliot AGE 19-34, usually early 20s ORIENTATION homosexual, homoromantic PRONOUNS she/her NATIONALITY japanese-american SPECIES kitsune (can be adjusted as needed) PROFESSION a supernatural social worker bringing order where it’s needed STATUS single MYERS-BRIGGS enfp-a FACE sakura heffron, hayley kiyoko
A Young Immortal
It's a story practically as old as time: two young people meet, and fall in love, and fall apart, and the only proof beyond photos and word and memory that they were ever together gets dropped into the lap of some social workers, only to fall--hard, and repeatedly--through the cracks of the American foster system. Nobody wants a hyper kid, it turns out.
But being unwanted and feeling unloved and bouncing from house to house to house, family to family to family, school to school to school, it really fucks a kid up. Messes with their heads. She's still one of the lucky ones, June Smith, given a last name her mother never bothered to pen onto her birth certificate, but she's angry. And she has every right to be.
Fourteen years old and a troublemaker by the time she lands in her final home, June is sour. June is mean. June is wrathful, angry, troublesome, a real problem child. She skips class or she fails it. She's talks back to teachers, slips behind the bleachers, gets in fights with other kids. It's not pretty.
But she hasn't ended up in just anybody's home. He's a Thai-American, a chef, owns his own restaurants - owns a few of them, actually. Turned a profit on his own hard work. Former foster kid, too. He teaches her how to straighten up her act. He teaches her how to cook, to trust, to love, to laugh. The angry June gives way like a blistering summer day into to a June not of less passion or less feeling, but a June who enjoys the breezes and the seaside and doesn't melt the world in her wrath anymore. A mellow June. He doesn't adopt her, but she changes her last name to his anyway. It's nothing personal. Too many kids pass through his door: he can't adopt them all. But he and June click - not father and daughter, but cool uncle and eager niece, falling comfortably into step like that.
At 16 June learned her first secret, got her first job: she and her uncle worked as "supernatural social workers," helping things that weren't human find their footing in the human world, nonviolent things, good things. June learned peace and patience, just like her uncle--and two years later, June learned another thing. June learned she was kitsune, spent a year at home mastering her powers, and moved confidently out into the world thereafter. She gets a job. She gets a grip. She gets a life and a second chance to live it.
June still visits home sometimes, still works weekends as a supernatural social worker. She spends the rest of her time in the gym letting her energy out, or at music events, concerts, bars, clubs. She's young and in love with her life. She's carefree, has a high school degree and stars in her eyes. She's going to move and shake the world: just you wait.
Kitsune Lore & June
Kitsune lore essentially divides kitsune two ways: by alignment (zenko for good/benevolent foxes and yako for bad/malignant foxes) or by element - of which there are 13. These are tenets I more or less follow. Zenko and yakko are reserved for internal separations: all supernatural species know at least vaguely of these two elements and divide the kitsune between them, but they are not inherent qualities. Kitsune know, however - almost instinctively! - the deeper divisions among their species, which are based on element. Although mortals tend to classify them into 13 subcultures, there are really only five: earth, water, fire, wind/air, and void, all of which come out of traditional Japanese elemental thinking.
Although initially thought to be kasai (fire kitsune). June found out in short order that she is truly kaze, or wind. As well as granting her the ability to shift into wind, ranging anywhere from a light breeze to a hard, tornado-like gust, being kaze has also made June exceedingly light of foot and well-balanced, even for a kitsune. Kaze is all about expansion–air in the lungs, free of form, free-moving. It means June is quick to adapt and always curious, forever expanding her mind and soul in her own carefree way. June tends to prefer the freedom of running as wind to the sensation of being incorporeal as shadow, just as she tends to favor her human form over her fox.
Rather than being born foxes who later attain human forms, kitsune are spirits - and only that. The spirit of the kitsune is quick and clever, exemplified on the living plane as a fox; when it first breeches the living plane, the kitsune spirit will merge with any young spirit of the right temperament. When kitsune were more common, it was assumed they were solely Japanese due to some genetic predisposition: their dying out did directly correlate with the intermarriage of many Japanese bloodlines with international families. Now, however, it is assumed that the weakest point between the spirit and living worlds resides in Japan, and the loss of the kitsune species was due to some unrelated event in the other world. Neither theory has been confirmed or denied.
At any rate, newborn kitsune spirits could meld with any living creatures, but most commonly found hosts in both foxes and humans. Over time, the species came to recognize both forms as their living homes, and so grant the ability to shift between the two at the earning of the first tail.
Most tails are earned at 100-year intervals: however, the first tail can be granted at any point between the first and the hundredth year. The nature of the kitsune lies dormant, unrecognized and unrecognizable, until the earning of the first tail: after that point, both biological and spiritual changes force the spirit host to become kitsune. (It was always there, just not always noticeable or predictable.)
Kitsune are ultimately mortal: though naturally long-lived and immune to most worldly diseases, due to their otherwordly origins, kitsune can be injured, incapacitated, and even killed in very mortal fashions. They can live only into perpetuity on earning their hundredth tail and ascending onto a plane not unlike godhood, at which point much of their dealing on the living plane comes to an end. It is assumed they can live forever then - but it’s yet to have been proven, since no kitsune has returned to an approachable plane to make this clear.
As a single-tailed kitsune, June still has a lot to learn. Her hold on her powers is strong for one so young, but her powers themselves are relatively easy to foil. She cannot attain more powers–more elemental shifts, spiritual attacks, etc.–until she has come closer to earning her second tail.
