So many dead people....

Also, the movie related discussion in this, the death thread, got my old DERP reflexes twitching:

Talk mor bout ded peepl!

Troof but for the highlighted part. Have you READ the King story? NOTHING like the movie except that a game show was involved.

Yeah, I read it. I've got the first edition. Half Price Books error in my favor. However, it's still a second-rate story.

The Glaser version is just a piss poor adaptation of a story that wasn't that hot as a start.

Looks like Henry Hill finally folded under questioning. I just wonder if Jimmy has enough lime so Tommy can dig the fuckin' hole.

Henry Hill died and it looks like Jerry Lewis might be joining him.

[Martin]

Sad for Hill, good on Lewis. What a douche.

OK, someone has to say it: Rodney King.

How long before some conspiracy nutjob w/ a racial agenda says it's a delayed blood clot form the beating?

Judging by my Facebook feed, we've got four investigators on the case.

Richard Lynch, 76. The ultimate bad guy from the 80s has died. Time to watch THE SWORD AND THE SORCERER again.

Andrew Sarris died too.

Solid film critic.

Susan Tyrell died.

She's been in a bad way for the last few years due to the leg infection, but it sucks.

Heard that - Lynch was definitely the go-to guy for 80's horror and sci-fi. I remember his TV movie Vampire from back in the day; first thing I ever saw him in. Also, Werewolf from '96, although I saw the MST3k version, and laughed my ass off at it. He was cool, as usual, but the film... "Paul! You is a waerwelf!".

LeRoy Nieman.

As an artist, this one hurts. His artwork was a huge part of my sports fandom when I was a kid. I also remember when ABC's Wide World of Sports used to devote special segments to every new painting he'd make to commemorate an event, such as his art for the '84 Olympics.



Photo's a bit dull, but his vibrant color and the motion in this painting just conveys the emotional excitement and anticipation that was prevalent at the time. His paintings MOVED, even when the subject was stationary, which made him and the sports world a perfect mesh.

He did a lot of work for Playboy, too for some reason. That's how I learned of him.

Woman faking an orgasm in a restaurant to prove a point to a disbelieving male.

Totally an awesome scene from "When Harry Met Sally".
