Not sure how many other former art students are among us, but any such sorts should recognize Chuck Close, who died the other day.

Wow, never heard of him. But I think that says more about the quality of education I received than the impact/reach of his work.BulletMagnet wrote:Not sure how many other former art students are among us, but any such sorts should recognize Chuck Close, who died the other day.
Re: The Shmups.com Dead Pool *now accepting tragedies from 2
I saw a Chuck Close show in 1998 at the Hirschhorn in DC and it was amazing. Had never seen anything like it before in my life, and I think it's absolutely essential to see them in person to understand. The scale of the work is epic.

Obligatory fuck this thread. Charlie Watts, aged 80. Funny guy, always seemed a relative class act in that gang of scoundrels.

Michael K. Williams, 54, suspected overdose. Sad to see another of the best from HBO's late 90s/early 00s heyday gone so young. Immortalised The Wire's Omar, also had a tiny yet indelible cameo in The Sopranos, and a hell of a run as Boardwalk Empire's Chalky White. A consistent standout among first-rate casts.

Good listen. I knew he'd gotten started as a backup dancer, but it's an interesting coincidence that Tupac got him his first break, with the latter's own career path. Holy shit @ the Sopranos anecdote, haha. I almost wonder if they ad-libbed the chess set.

I dunno why, but mention of Steven Crowder made me think of this Norm MacDonald story.popckorn wrote:LOWDER WITH CROWDER HAD A BEAUTIFUL TRIBUTE EPISODE YESTERDAY
Two working class dudes, one black one white, just baked a tray of ten cookies together.
An oligarch walks in and grabs nine cookies for himself.
Then he says to the white dude "Watch out for that black dude, he wants a piece of your cookie!"

I follow a group on FB called "Cassette Futurism" that posted a few tributes to him today. I reckon a handful of people here would dig that group.xxx1993 wrote:"Once you start to make machines that are rivaling and surpassing humans with intelligence, it's going to be very difficult for us to survive." -Clive Sinclair (1940-2021)

Bob Saget shared some of his thoughts and feelings on his friend's passing, in case you want to listen to that.
