Carrie Fisher now

Kosmos - order. Causality? Or, Apophenia?

Blofeld.

Well this sucks, definitely the year of the dark side (or just the first of a long period?)

[Shoryukev]

The SW universe was always a huge part of my childhood, Princess Leia was definitely the first crush I ever had. Now that this has happened it almost makes me think of her CGI appearance in Rogue One as a sort of dark foreshadowing. Sucks to know that the next time I watch a new hope it will be with sad overtones in my subconscious.....rest in peace Carrie Fisher!

What the actual fuck is with everyone dying at around age 55?

[evil_ash_xero]

I woke up to hear that Carrie died. I thought she was going to make it, since she was in stable condition.

Depressing.

[Durandal]

[Limbrooke]

The Force Awakens brought her back to life, Rogue One killed her for good.

What the actual fuck is with everyone dying at around age 55?

Simple math will tell you they were all beautiful young celebrities in the 80s.

Cocaine's a hell of a drug.

I was afraid Carrie Fisher was going to have permanent brain damage - 20 minutes on CPR ain't a little thing. Haven't seen any word yet whether she woke up after the heart attack, probably not.

She had a great sense of humor, even finding fun in George Lucas:

(and another surprise for 2016, I find myself posting a link to ET Online!)

Richard Adams, author of Watership Down, dies at 96.

[xxx1993]

Now Carrie's mother kicked the bucket!

[BIL]

TBH I wouldn't want my poor old moms hanging around too long after me, if I go first. Still sad obv. v_v

Also, the inspiration for 1980s Sad Rabbit Classic Bright Eyes! He seemed to have had a good run too though.

[evil_ash_xero]

This year is freaking miserable. I feel bad for Carrie's brother.

This year is freaking miserable. I feel bad for Carrie's brother.

This year felt like 2013 all over again. Or rather, this year is like an even darker 2013.

[BulletMagnet]

One more before the deadline: William Christopher, aka Father Mulcahy on M.A.S.H., dead at 84.

[Nate]

Just found out Mose Allison died on 11/17. That sucks.

2016 lived to a ripe old age (a second longer than most other years), had no shortage of accomplishments, and all who met him agree: We're happy he's dead.

I found out about another 2016 death: Tyrus Wong, whose name I noticed in the credits of Bambi. He cleaned up the backgrounds of this famous classic of American culture with his impressionistic paintings. He died Friday at age 106.

Wait, WAIT . . . . WAIT!
Just on the the border of the celebrity Annus horribilis, the rim, if you will; The perpetually crass harpy that is Mariah Carey dies horribly. For five minutes and 58 glorious seconds.
2017 is looking good, so far. Happy new year

I should point out two right now. The guy who voiced Luigi (That's Mama Luigi to you, Mario!) in the Super Mario World cartoon and Nemesis in Resident Evil 3: Nemesis, Tony Rosato, and Miguel Ferrer, who played Owen Granger in NCIS: Los Angeles, died.

[Sumez]

NCIS?

He might have appeared in something called "Robocop" and "Twin Peaks" as well.

[xxx1993]

Yeah, he was in those too.

[BIL]

Miguel Ferrer was great - I mostly knew him as Bob Morton from Robocop, but for that alone he's unforgettable. One of the decade's quintessential "coke-snorting douchebag with just a sliver of hapless sympathy" performances, alongside Hart Bochner's Harry Ellis ("Hans, bubby!") from Die Hard!

[Xyga]

Gone, like the bitches.

[BIL]

^ Left, like the bitches. ;3

[Damocles]

Thankfully, Miguel Ferrer supposedly finished his scenes for the new Twin Peaks episodes.

[GaijinPunch]

alongside Hart Bochner's Harry Ellis ("Hans, bubby!") from Die Hard!

Most underrated line in the film.

I'm your white knight *bling*

The local art house theater played this as part of the Merry Mayhem Double Feature (Gremlins was the other). The crowd was dying on just about ever Ellis scene...especially this one.

[Immryr]

R.I.P. Mark fisher. Very sad news.

[Durandal]

Jan Kruis, cartoonist of the famous long-running Jan, Jans en de kinderen comicbook series and inventor of the Saint Pancake day (where you put a pancake on your head on the 29th of November) that's celebrated all across the country, has died today at the age of 83.
