Malcador Posted July 16, 2017 Posted July 16, 2017 I thought the headline read John Romero. Why has elegance found so little following? Elegance has the disadvantage that hard work is needed to achieve it and a good education to appreciate it. - Edsger Wybe Dijkstra
Volourn Posted July 16, 2017 Posted July 16, 2017 (edited) "He was the best part of True Blood. Way too young." Nah. he was alright but he was nowhere the best part of TB. That said, RIP. Edited July 16, 2017 by Volourn DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.
Orogun01 Posted July 17, 2017 Posted July 17, 2017 George Romerohttp://www.latimes.com/entertainment/movies/la-me-george-romero-20170716-story.htmlRIP and please bury him in cement, just to be sure. I'd say the answer to that question is kind of like the answer to "who's the sucker in this poker game?"* *If you can't tell, it's you.

Blarghagh Posted July 20, 2017 Posted July 20, 2017 Chester Bennington, lead singer of Linkin Park, reportedly committed suicide. I spent a significant part of my angsty childhood listening to his angsty screaming, so that makes me a bit sad. 1

algroth Posted July 21, 2017 Posted July 21, 2017 And Martin Landau...Great in Ed Wood. RIP. And Crimes and Misdemeanours and a few others things. He was a class actor.

Amentep Posted July 26, 2017 Posted July 26, 2017 John Heard He was in the 1979 PBS adaption of The Scarlet Letter as Arthur Dimsdale (Meg Foster was Hester Prynne) which is my first encounter with him as an actor that I can recall. Saw him in many things over the years though, (Cat People, C.H.U.D., and a number of TV guest appearances like Law and Order: SVU, CSI: Miami, The Equalizer and Miami Vice off the top of my head) I cannot - yet I must. How do you calculate that? At what point on the graph do "must" and "cannot" meet? Yet I must - but I cannot! ~ Ro-Man
algroth Posted July 29, 2017 Posted July 29, 2017 (edited) Peter Principle, leader of Tuxedomoon, died this week. Quoting a friend of mine, the band was one of the post-punk giants and the whole post-punk revival would have been way more interesting had the revivalists chosen to imitate them as well as Joy Division. Also Red West last week. I'm not extremely versed in his filmography but all the same I thought he was great in Ramin Brahrani's Goodbye Solo. And of course his Elvis songs.

Agiel Posted July 31, 2017 Posted July 31, 2017 Sam Shepard: Quote “Political philosophers have often pointed out that in wartime, the citizen, the male citizen at least, loses one of his most basic rights, his right to life; and this has been true ever since the French Revolution and the invention of conscription, now an almost universally accepted principle. But these same philosophers have rarely noted that the citizen in question simultaneously loses another right, one just as basic and perhaps even more vital for his conception of himself as a civilized human being: the right not to kill.” -Jonathan Littell <<Les Bienveillantes>> Quote "The chancellor, the late chancellor, was only partly correct. He was obsolete. But so is the State, the entity he worshipped. Any state, entity, or ideology becomes obsolete when it stockpiles the wrong weapons: when it captures territories, but not minds; when it enslaves millions, but convinces nobody. When it is naked, yet puts on armor and calls it faith, while in the Eyes of God it has no faith at all. Any state, any entity, any ideology that fails to recognize the worth, the dignity, the rights of Man...that state is obsolete." -Rod Serling
Raithe Posted July 31, 2017 Posted July 31, 2017 It's always kind of surprising to see how many names were in Black Hawk Down. "Cuius testiculos habeas, habeas cardia et cerebellum."
algroth Posted July 31, 2017 Posted July 31, 2017 Sam Shepard R.I.P. A lot of people know him as an actor primarily but he was a damn good screenwriter as well. Of all his work, I think I love Paris, Texas the most. 1 My Twitch channel: https://www.twitch.tv/alephg Currently playing: Roadwarden

Raithe Posted August 1, 2017 Posted August 1, 2017 Maybe not celebrity celebrity, but.. Corey Gaspur passed away. During his time at BioWare, Gaspur worked as a designer on Sonic Chronicles, Dragon Age: Origins, Mass Effect 2, and Mass Effect 3. Most recently, he served as the lead designer on BioWare's new IP, Anthem, which was announced at E3. "Cuius testiculos habeas, habeas cardia et cerebellum."
algroth Posted August 1, 2017 Posted August 1, 2017 Damn. Am looking forward to Anthem though. My Twitch channel: https://www.twitch.tv/alephg Currently playing: Roadwarden
Amentep Posted August 4, 2017 Posted August 4, 2017 RIP Mr Gaspur. There's a crowd funding sort of thing to help his wife/son out, if anyone is interested. I cannot - yet I must. How do you calculate that? At what point on the graph do "must" and "cannot" meet? Yet I must - but I cannot! ~ Ro-Man
