As a bit of an antidote to the RIP thread (and even though I'm a bit averse to celeb culture), how about a thread focussed on the birthdays of the icons of our pop culture - only living people please!
- Jackie Mason (88)
- Michael J Fox (55)
- Johnny Depp (53)
- Natalie Portman (35)
Well let's have a big hurrah for old Spatacus himself, Kirk Douglas. 100 today and still looking spry.
I'm Spartacus!
I'm Spartacus!
I'm Spartacus!
Can I be the first to say: "and so's my wife!"
Also born on this day:
- Judi Dench (82)
- Beau Bridges (75)
- Neil Innes (72)
- Joan Armatrading (66)
- John Malkovich (63)
I'm Brian.
No, I really am. That's what the B stands for.
I'm a Kirk, and it's my birthday.

Damn this thread moved on fast. I was expecting a much longer run of 'I'm Spartacus' so I could throw in my Glastonbury tribute "I'm Tiger Woods"* but you lot don't know how to keep a gag running beyond breaking point do you!
*Do they still do that at Glastonbury? Has it moved on from Tiger Woods? Noever did know why it was Tiger Woods.

Fuck. Though I can only name one Placebo song, I somehow never imagined Brian Molko as anything other than a 17-year-old emo kid. Glad there's another middle
-aged Brian who thinks he's still a teenager.
And I thought Kenneth Branagh was much older. He came very close to playing Withnail - and despite Richard E Grant's utterly wonderful performance I think Kenny could have nailed it too.
Placebo and the Dark Judges (with bonus Anderson):

It coincided with a hefty dose of the flu, so not particularly, but ta anyway.

Never heard of this today, but it's also Juneteenth today:
Quote, also known as Juneteenth Independence Day or Freedom Day, is an American holiday that commemorates the June 19, 1865, announcement of the abolition of slavery in the U.S. state of Texas, and more generally the emancipation of enslaved African-Americans throughout the former Confederacy of the southern United States.
Births:
- James VI of Scotland, James I of the United Kingdom
- Blaise Pascal
- Paula Abdul

I, er, had a dream...
Did it involve people on a jungle planet, the Starship Enterprise for some Galactic Guardians? (didn't recognise the name so had to look her up - turned out I'd seen at least three films she's been in)

You're right, I've seen six - Pirates, ST, Avatar, STID, GotG, GotG 2 (still need to see ST III and the latest Avengers).
All I can say is that there were, um, jungle-ish elements...
Anyhoo, Nicole Kidman is 50 today.

No mention of Sin City? What kinda secret old-man-pervert club is this?
