LadyCrimson Posted December 9, 2019 Posted December 9, 2019 I remember Rene best from Benson. I thought he was the funniest thing ever in that show, at the time, the way he straight-man bounced off Robert Guillaume. His DS9 chr. was one of the things I liked about that show. “Things are as they are.

majestic Posted December 9, 2019 Posted December 9, 2019 Wow, I should really stay away from this thread when I'm not in the brightest of moods. No mind to think. No will to break. No voice to cry suffering.

LadyCrimson Posted January 11, 2020 Posted January 11, 2020 Wasn't a huge Rush person, outside of those few earlyish hits, but another one of those "my childhood past is dying" reminders.

Agiel Posted January 12, 2020 Posted January 12, 2020 "Neil! Play the Drum Solo of Life!" 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 Any state, any entity, any ideology that fails to recognize the worth, the dignity, the rights of Man...that state is obsolete."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
Blarghagh Posted January 17, 2020 Posted January 17, 2020 Christopher Tolkien, who managed to posthumously compile, edit and publish much of his father's Middle-Earth work, passed at the ripe age of 95.
Bartimaeus Posted January 17, 2020 Posted January 17, 2020 Of the JRR-Christopher books, I only ever read Hurin, which was pretty messed up but decent. Never was the biggest Tolkien prose fan, but nevertheless RIP. Quote How I have existed fills me with horror. For I have failed in everything - spelling, arithmetic, riding, tennis, golf; dancing, singing, acting; wife, mistress, whore, friend. Even cooking. And I do not excuse myself with the usual escape of 'not trying'. I tried with all my heart. In my dreams, I am not crippled. In my dreams, I dance.
