RIPs

[Heath C Ackley]

Richard Matheson was a true giant of the fantasy genre. I Am Legend - the novel not the movies - was an excellent post - apocalyptic tale. I remember with great affection his Twilight Zone episodes. The man and his work have been an influence to countless science fiction fantasy and horror writers over the years. A great loss.

[Zarjazzer]

Sad that Richard Matheson has died a real genius storyteller.

[IAMTHESYSTEM]

Terrible news about Richard Matheson. His episodes of the Twilight Zone, those books and screenplays approach the superlative. How mighty are the fallen.

[Mabs]

What? Richard Matheson has died? No....

I am deeply saddened by this news, Matheson was without doubt one of the best writers whose works I hold in high esteem, I Am Legend is one of my favourite novels of all time, an absolute masterpiece.

R I remember with great affection his Twilight Zone episodes.

Re-watched most of them recently on the new issue Blu-Rays. Genius.

RIP.

Otherwise known as the 'The Human Metronome'. I've been listening to a lot of early Devo. I love the Jocko Homo video.

Yeah, that's bum. Only a week after Lau Kar-Leung, director of 36th Chamber of Shaolin among many others.

What's your confusion?  It is that guy, the martial artist, if that's what you mean:

Such a shame I couldn't find the widescreen version of that fight. 

[Richmond Clements]

He didn't even notice dying, he was too busy looking good.

[Simon Beigh]

He didn't even notice dying, he was too busy looking good.

Yes indeed. "Bullshit Mr Han man" is still a classic cinematic line. When I was a kid I thought he was the coolest guy I'd ever seen. He's still in the top 3.

I'm off to watch Enter The Dragon...
