HemiSam Posted January 8, 2022 Report Posted January 8, 2022 Godspeed Mssr's. Bogdanovich and Poitier. You both moved the needle in my world... HS 1 Quote
Voltron Posted January 10, 2022 Report Posted January 10, 2022 I don't have any great connection to Saget -- never watched Full House and never got into the nasty Saget stand-up -- but 65 is too young. I hope it was not self inflicted in some way. Quote
MexicanDragon Posted January 10, 2022 Report Posted January 10, 2022 4 hours ago, emelius said: R.I.P. Bob Saget... 65... I did grow up with full house, and was of age when The Aristocrats came out. This one hurt a bit. Quote
n_maher Posted January 10, 2022 Report Posted January 10, 2022 I think Bob was funnier than he often got credit for because a lot of his work was on the softer side of things. In the end what is most terrible to me (so far anyway) is him passing unexpectedly at 65. My comment to my wife was that I’m closer to that age than I am 21 and 21 doesn’t feel all that long ago. 4 Quote

Voltron Posted January 15, 2022 Report Posted January 15, 2022 Au revoir M. Beineix. If I hadn't watched Diva twice in the last two years, I would watch it this weekend. I guess Betty Blue will have to do. https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/film/2022/jan/14/jean-jacques-beineix-dies-aged-75-betty-blue-director 5 Quote

Craig Sawyers Posted January 21, 2022 Report Posted January 21, 2022 RIP Meat Loaf. Aged too early at 74. Was lucky enough to see him live a few years ago, with the same female vocalist from Bat Out Of Hell. 10 Quote
TMoney Posted January 21, 2022 Report Posted January 21, 2022 (edited) Meat! RIP! I first learned of Meat while watching Fight Club. I thought it was hilarious that someone would call themselves such a stupid/hilarious name. The fact that he played "Bob" made it even more funny. Later I'd find Bat Out of Hell, Rocky Horror, and his other works. I love him as a performer. Listening to his stuff is one of my favorite guilty pleasures. Everything he does is always over-the-top-as-hell and that makes me happy. Glad he'll be reunited with Jim Steinman in the thereafter so that they can keep on suing each other and making music.

skullguise Posted January 21, 2022 Report Posted January 21, 2022 RIP! He was certainly larger than life! I like the fact that some of my friends are remembering him via Rocky Horror pics and memories, even though songs like Paradise By The Dashboard Light were pretty much anthems for part of their youth.

emelius Posted January 21, 2022 Report Posted January 21, 2022 R.I.P. Louie Anderson at 68... 6 Quote
Voltron Posted January 21, 2022 Report Posted January 21, 2022 Two times too early to go! Meat Loaf again?! I yelled that out RHPS midnight shows many a time. Never really got into his music but they were fun every once in a while, and like as Todd said were huge in my youth. And Louie was only ten years older than me! Glad that Baskets was one of his last shows because he was genius in that role. RIP Louie and Meat 2 Quote
