Yeah. He's a bit of a Jeremy, isn't he?

I was thinking Herbert myself.

[Naïve Old Fart 12,533]

I just heard that Douglas Rain has died.

R.I.P.  H.A.L.

[John 2,033]

Lent his voice to one of the most iconic characters in movie history, what a legend. Rest in peace, Mr. Rain. You will be missed. 

[JoeinAR 1,955]

Stan Lee died today too.

 

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 11,649]

The greatest American pop-culture icon since Walt Disney.

[FBC Director 10,605]

Seemed like a top bloke.

[A24 5,005]

Will a computer generated Stan Lee do the cameos in future Marvel movies?

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 11,649]

Disney made him sign a waiver days before his death!

No offence, Steef, but...

that sentence sums up what is wrong with the entire "entertainment" industry, in just nine words.

[A24 5,005]

Some old folks said the same when The Beatles reigned the music scene, Richard. 

[FBC Director 10,605]

I mean... Michael Jackson? Elvis Presley? Lassie? Benji?

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 11,649]

The Mouse reigns supreme!

 

 

[FBC Director 10,605]

I'm sick of that damn mouse. Bugs Bunny is better anyway.

[Jurassic Shark 15,940]

Donald Duck is better.

[FBC Director 10,605]

You're just being daffy!

[Naïve Old Fart 12,533]

No, you're being goofy!

Explain why though? Its very convenient for parents.

I like that mouse

I don't like chocolate mousse.

Then you should try Belgian Chocolate Mousse!

Sure, if that's your thing.

Director Nicolas Roeg, whose films include "Don't Look Now" and "Performance", has died at the age of 90.

[Disco Stu 15,517]

 

 

The Witches is still one of the best movies made for children.

[Disco Stu 15,517]

Ricky Jay died today.

 

He’s a very famous magician but I’ll always remember him from the neat little character he played in Tomorrow Never Dies

 

Henry Gupta.  American.  Practically invented techno terrorism.

 

Consider him slimed.

Fuck Stu!

Just watch one of his late night appearances.  He was fantastic.

 

 

[Jay 44,818]

Aw man!  Ricky Jay was great!

 

He was in The Spanish Prisoner, Boogie Nights, TND, Mystery Men, Magnolia, The X-Files, State and Main, Heartbreakers, Heist...seemed like he was in every other thing I watched for a while!  Then he was later in Deadwood, The Prestige......

R.I.P. Bernardo Bertolucci 1941 - 2018

 

[John 2,033]

R.I.P.

 

Man, it's been a tough year when it comes to people in the movie industry passing away. Isao Takahata, William Goldman, Nicolas Roeg, Stan Lee, now Bernardo Bertolucci...

Hopefully this won't harm the Deadwood movie.

And now the creator of Spongebob Squarepants, Stephen Hillenburg, has passed away. Say what you will, but it, in its earlier years, was quality entertainment for both child and parent alike, and has reached thousands if not millions of people over the last 20 years or so.

 

A very impressive accomplishment.

Yes in those early years, Spongebob was a hero to lazy potheads everywhere!  Somebody who lived a happy joyful life working a shitty dead-end job!

The President has died. 

 

The 41st President. Rest in peace, George HW Bush. 

[JoeinAR 1,955]

He was an honorable man a decent president and a World War II hero (and villain to the Japanese).

 

It was a privilege to have him as President.  

[Naïve Old Fart 12,533]

So...he bombed innocent men women and children, was the head of a corrupt government organisation, and started a war just so he could get his hands on Middle Eastern oil.

What a man (!).

[John 2,033]

Not the place, Richard.

[Disco Stu 15,517]

He was the leader of the world’s largest ever superpower.  Criticism is certainly valid and expected. 

[John 2,033]

He can take his opinion of Mr. Bush to the "America" thread, Stu. I don't this topic to become a political bashing thread.

[Disco Stu 15,517]

Shrug.  It’s all Other Topics to me.

He never bombed innocent people. He helped repel an invader of another sovereign nation.

And why would he be interested in Middle East oil when we have the worlds largest supply of oil.

I cracked up yesterday when I saw Pres. Bill Clinton looking at a pair of Bill Clinton socks that Pres. Bush was wearing.

This comment at least has some balls, instead of just some moralistic tut-tutting.

Associating a post with a shorthand synonym for male genitals? Is that some sort of new expression or figure of speech? Am I missing something?

[John 2,033]

You're too pure for this forum, Jerry.
