    RIP Masayuki Uemura

    One of the industry's engineering legends as passed away. Parish did an excellent interview/retrospective with him years ago for USGamer
  3. Sprite

    RIP Stephen Sondheim

    Per the New York Times. 91! Hard to feel anything other than impressed. Dude was just a titan in the musical theater industry, managing to have consistent mainstream success for decades while making such weird freaking shows. I’m really curious what we’re going to see end up published...

    Goodbye Al - RIP Dean Stockwell

    Dean Stockwell has passed away. He was 85. The man had a storied career spanning decades across multiple genres, but I saw that he passed and immediately thought of Al. I loved Quantum Leap as a kid and I always looked forward to Al showing up. RIP sir.

    RIP Peter Scolari

    https://www.cbc.ca/news/entertainment/peter-scolari-dies-1.6221570 80's sitcom mainstay from Bosom Buddies and Newhart has died of cancer at age 66. Personally, to me he'll always be the shallow Michael Harris from Newhart, Bob's less than thoughtful agent but other notable appearances are as a...
  6. Becksworth

    RIP Golgo 13 Creator Takao Saito

    Died of Pancreatic Cancer at age 84. Could we all live long enough to see our life's work go from groundbreaking to backwards and regressive. At any rate, an amazing legacy.

    RIP Norm MacDonald

    RIP Ed Asner, America's Cranky Grandpa

    https://www.cnn.com/2021/08/29/entertainment/ed-asner-death/index.html This blows. He was in so much stuff that I don't even know where to begin to sing his praises.
  9. Issun

    R.I.P. Sonny Chiba

    Sonny Chiba has died from COVID complications. I haven't seen most of his work, but Kill Bill is one of my all time faves, and his performance as Hatori Hanzo was one of the biggest highlights. I still quote some of his lines from time to time.
  10. Johnny Unusual

    R.I.P. Biz Markie

    Biz Markie, at age 57, has died from complications due to diabetes. https://www.avclub.com/r-i-p-biz-markie-1847208896 Biz is a luminary in the age of what Reginald Hudlin (and maybe other people but I've first heard the specific term come from the House Party director's mouth) calls Happy Rap...

    R.I.P. Richard Donner

    https://www.avclub.com/r-i-p-superman-and-lethal-weapon-director-richard-donn-1847232102 Richard Donner, one of the great director of major popcorn films has died. No details yet. He was 91. Richard Donner made some of the big movies of my youth. For many it was Superman but while I love...
  12. 4-So

    RIP Bryan St. Pere (Hum)

    Ridiculously unfortunate, especially after Inlet's release in 2020, one of the best albums of the year and maybe the best Hum album period. Hum is one of the bands that firmly sits in my top five. Such a loss. Dead at 52, a daunting number for me because my dad passed away at 52. So that feels...

    RIP Kentaro Miura

    The author of Berserk has passed away from an aortic rupture. He was 54, and leaves behind a legacy through his beautifully drawn magnum opus.

    R.I.P. Charles Grodin

    Character actor Charles Grodin passed away at 86 yesterday. He was best known for his comedic work in films such as the classic The Heartbreak Kid, the family hit Beethoven, the beloved action comedy Midnight Run, and the bizarre cult comedy Clifford. But to me, I'll best remember him as the...
  15. Johnny Unusual

    R.I.P. Felix Silla

    You might not of heard of him but he was pretty important in genre TV and film. Noted roles include Cousin Itt, the Polka Dotted Horse in HR Pufnstuf, Colonel Poom in Lidsville, Lucifer in Battlestar Galactica (the old one), and an Ewok in Return of the Jedi. But he's most famous for Twiki in...

    RIP Jessica Walter

    Jessica Walter died yesterday. She was 80. I know her mostly from her incredible TV work in Arrested Development, Dinosaurs, and Archer.

    R.I.P. Christopher Plummer

    Its been talked about but legendary actor Christopher Plummer died recently. For me, he's one of those great actors who seems to be up for everything and anything and his filmography reflects that, from the greats to the questionable (like a trilogy of animated movies where noted racist HP...

    RIP SOPHIE

    The (Larry) King is Dead

    Sad day for journalism. At least we can remember his most famous interview moment:
