Jacen123 Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 Could I be any more surprised? Probably, yeah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedigoat Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 I'm couldn't be. I always worried Perry would pass away young. Well, young-ish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Krawlie Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 Apparently an ambulance was called for a cardiac arrest. Totally guessing here, but I wouldn't be surprised if it ended up being a heart issue caused by past drug use, and the arrest happened while he was in the jacuzzi, which led to him drowning.

Jacen123 Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 I hadn’t heard that was what the ambulance was called for, but that’s what my head jumped to initially when I saw the headline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odine Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 But in seriousness, at least he's at peace now. Guy seemed to be miserable for years, battling his addictions and subsequent depression. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R.CAllen Posted November 27, 2023 Share Posted November 27, 2023 Elliot Silverstein died. BD”E. 96! He directed ‘The Obsolete Man’ and ‘The Trade-Ins’ and a few others. But those two there are the Twilight Zones he did that I really really really like. They made the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odine Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 I'm surprised Shane made it as long as he did. I saw the Pogues play a Xmas show in Belfast about 10 years ago. It was raucous and amazing. So many pints of Guinness aloft in the mosh pit without being spilled Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R.CAllen Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 Damn. Henry Kissinger שר"י. What can you say? What can I say? What can one say? What can little Cambodian children dead from unexploded ordnance say!? I guess the answer to all four of these questions is nothing more than “Not much!”. A hundred years! This is one of those things like the Red Sox winning the World Series or Deep Throat being revealed. God shutting the book of the twentieth century close at long last.

Ms. Spam Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 Yeah, I had a friend who posted about Kissinger dying and he was like ask the children of Cambodia if they mourn the loss of that guy... I think the biggest one so far for me as been Rosalynn Carter. It was touching to hear how Jimmy asked that they have their beds arranged so they can face each other. The Carter's pastor said this at her funeral, "She'll tell you don't stop. There's too many homeless people in the world. There's too many people that still don't have equal rights. There's still too many people who suffer from mental illness. There's still too many people that look at the color of their skin. She'll tell you don't stop."

R.CAllen Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 Ian Gibson is dead. Dying? Well, his family said he is “in the last hours before he starts his new adventure.” No, wait, I think he’s gone. Halo Jones, of course, but I also have a fondness for that Boba Fett thing he did with John Wagner. What is it people say? I hope he enjoyed his time here.

R.CAllen Posted December 28, 2023 Share Posted December 28, 2023 Wolfgang Schäuble died. Plenty of rough deaths this year but I’m chalking that one up in the column beneath Henry Kissinger. To quote the words of Gotham City district attorney Harvey Dent as written by Jeph Loeb and drawn by Tim Sale OB”M in The Long Halloween : “If you ask me, it couldn’t have happened to a nicer guy.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R.CAllen Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 Tom Wilkinson died. Great actor! Really great in The Governess (1998), as the money in Shakespeare In Love (1998), in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004), Michael Clayton (2007), Ben Franklin in John Adams (‘08), James Baker in Recount (2008) — I have a soft spot for those modern day politics movies Jay Roach and Danny Strong tricked Dr Pepper® into paying for —, in Valkyrie (2008) — “I will hear you say it, Colonel.” —, 44 Inch Chest (2009), in The Green Hornet (2011) and The Lone Ranger (2013), as Joe Kenedy in The Kennedys (‘11), in Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol (2011), Belle (2013), in the closest-to-outermost framing sequences of The Grand Budapest Hotel (2014) oh wait I am actually unsure where his scenes are fitted into that but I obviously remember the bit with the pellet gun, LBJ in Selma (2014), as the older member of the trio in Unfinished Business (2015), wait, is that the most recent thing I remember him from, I saw Snowden (2016) but I don’t remember him in that. Hmm. 75! He just made everything better. One of the great balances between “Oh, it’s him!” and the total belief that he was now whomever he was onscreen.

R.CAllen Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Tracy Tormé died. ‘Conspiracy’ from Season 1 of TNG! (Wait, he was Mel Tormé’s son!?!?1? Bing Crosby’s kid. Mel Tormé’s kid. Kind of a dr._doofenshmirtz_meme.jpeg situation.) 64! Terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R.CAllen Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 Terry Bisson died. ‘They’re Made Out of Meat’, of course, but the thing that sticks in my memory are the (pointless?) cash grabs. The work for hire stuff. The Johnny Mnemonic novelization. The Galaxy Quest novelization. Why did they ... well, I read them. I read the copies my library ordered. I don’t think I read the young Boba Fett books he did. The ones which came out after AotC. But they were on my radar then and now. They came to mind to me upon learning he’d passed beyond the veil. Oh well. 81! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R.CAllen Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 Howard Waldrop died. ‘The Ugly Chickens’, yeah, but so many more. ‘Save a Place in the Lifeboat for Me’, ‘Ike at the Mike’, ‘Der Untergang des Abendlandesmenschen’, ‘Horror, We Got’. 77! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
