He still lives in a different timeline though.

Bohdan Tomaszewski, a legendary (and I mean LEGENDARY) Polish sports commentator died at age of 93.
Funnily enough, I'm not into sports, but I like a good commentary on the radio, even when I have no clue what's being played (that is, nearly most of the time). Knew him only from his legend and some recordings, but he was one person of spoken word.

I mean, 83 is pretty damn good...

I meant that the joke was too soon.

Nimoy was one of the all time greats, and accomplished a ton - I think it feels like he didn't leave any business unfinished, so I'm not totally devastated by the news. Mostly I just have a fuzzy feeling from remembering the good times.

Might watch The Cage in his memory, even though it's not him at the height of his powers.

Other ideas for a TV wake: Mission Impossible, Star Trek IV, original series episode "The Tholian Web" (I think that's the one with the behind-the-scenes story about "Fascinating."), Ancient Mysteries, The Ballad of Bilbo Baggins, his Simpsons cameo.

NPR has a great obit for him here:

What about the Futurama episode 'Where no fan Has Gone Before'?

GaijinPunch · Post by **GaijinPunch** » Sat Feb 28, 2015 3:09 am

He was on the Simpsons back when it was good... twice. Once was the X-Files episode.

The Simpsons was, and always will be good.

Zombie Simpsons is a completely different show.

Or perhaps "3 men and a baby." He directed that, and it was a box office record-breaker at the time. Seems like a better way to remember the man and not the character.

Simpsons co-creator Sam Simon, died of cancer at age 59.

Discworld author Terry Pratchett dead at 66.

Post by **BulletMagnet** » Thu Mar 12, 2015 8:24 pm

AT LAST, SIR TERRY, WE MUST WALK TOGETHER.

He did at least get a great Twitter send-off: I have quite a few of the Discworld books sitting on a shelf not too far from me as I type this.

AT LAST, SIR TERRY, WE MUST WALK TOGETHER.

Terry took Death's arm and followed him through the doors and on to the black desert under the endless night.

The End.

Oh, bugger. He was one of my favourite authors. I loved The Witches books in particular.

First James Best aka Roscoe P Coltrane goes, now Geoffrey Lewis has passed.

Both of these guys were part of childhood for me, one weekly on TV, one in movies.

dan76 · Post by **dan76** » Wed Apr 08, 2015 7:04 pm

Oh, no! I think that's a still from Any Which Way But Loose... And Roscoe as well.

Shitty fuck. Another piece gone.

GaijinPunch · Post by **GaijinPunch** » Thu Apr 09, 2015 6:15 am

I look back now at what James Best brought to that guy. Goofball? Sure, but it just seems genius now. Those mannerisms... so over the top.

Percy Sledge dies at 73.

Can't say I really knew his work, barring the most ubiquitous stuff, but like quite a few noobs I came away from "This Is England" loving his rendition of "At The Dark End Of The Street."

NRS · Post by **NRS** » Fri May 15, 2015 6:45 pm

Yeah. I'll likely forever hate myself for not seeing him a year or so ago when he played in Shreveport, Louisiana. As I understand it, he actually came through that area pretty often.

Big loss, at the young age of 93, Christopher Lee. Master of many roles, mainly horror.

BIL · Post by **BIL** » Thu Jun 11, 2015 12:17 pm

Farewell, international treasure of B-horror and all-around icon of handsome villainy.

^damn shame he wasn't opposite Connery in that movie, Moore couldn't compete!

Skykid · Post by **Skykid** » Thu Jun 11, 2015 12:18 pm

Had a damn good innings did Sir Chris, and quite the legacy.

bugger, I just watched Dracula: Prince of Darkness several nights ago as well.

Goodnight Dark Prince
