so sad. wonderful character actor. hans gruber will continue to stand as one of the all-time great movie villains...

 

[Padrino]

i wandered into the lounge and saw one of these for the departed mr. alan rickman, but i didn't see one for the departed mr. david bowie, which struck me as something in need of correction, considering the man's tremendous legacy and influence on how we conceive of pop music. bowie often seemed apart from this world, and despite the inevitable trajectory of his illness, i think it can be said that he left this place on his own terms...

"Here am I, floating 'round my tin can... far above the moon... planet Earth is blue... and there's nothing I can do..."

RIP

So I went to work today and the people were talking about Snape being dead and I was like no, wasn't Snape Alan Rickman??!?

This cancer thing is getting really annoying the past month.

I remember the Hans Gruber character the most. One of, if not the, best movie villain ever.

And, on a related note, Signe Anderson, the original lead singer for Jefferson Airplane has also died at 74.

This is just getting way too bizarre. Apparently 2016 is not a good year to be 74.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

With all due respect to Jefferson Airplane and The Eagles, EWF has been a much bigger influence on my musical tastes. Just another knock on a day that started poorly, and hasn't gotten any better.

RIP
