RIPs

[Pyroxian]

This year just seems to be really shitty for the deaths of very talented people

[Hawkmumbler]

Christ! 

RIP

[TordelBack]

Ahh no, one of my very favourite actors. What a week for shit news.

Can I just remind the Fates that Donald Trump is also 69, and would surely have made a more than acceptable substitute for either Bowie or Rickman? Both, preferably?

[Something Fishy]

Oh good lord what a week.  RIP to a great actor.

[flip-r mk2]

Why is it that  evil war mongering, money grabbing utterly vile cunts seem to go on forever.

RIP Alan Rickman

[Bat King]

Versatile,  talented actor. Quite a loss.

[von Boom]

Very sad about Alan Rickman. 69 is far too soon. RIP.

[Dandontdare]

Christ! 

RIP

that's old news - and some claim he came back 3 days later anyway.



Shocked about Rickman, he didn't seem that old, surprised he was pushing 70.

After Lemmy and Bowie I'm just praying that Bob Dylan's feeling OK.

[JayzusB.Christ]

Aw, man.  Just heard about Alan Rickman.  For some reason the scene that I remember him best for is his tension-fraught 'pretty women' duet with Johnny Depp in Sweeney Todd.  Not a great film; but the cast was brilliant.

I hate this thread.

Rest in peace Alan Rickman

Time to break out Galaxy Quest

[ZenArcade]

This week gets worse, Alan Rickman...damn. Z

[Zarjazzer]

by Grabthar's hammer what a loss.

[ThryllSeekyr]

OH, man the greats are just all dropping like flies.

Although I never liked him in Harry Potter and Dogma where his characters were more like caricatures of himself or most probably how I what I'd imagine he be best at, but you just never know that stuff. I'm just not privy to that.

Severus Snape & what ever angel he was in the latter film. Perhaps Gabriel. Both of them seemed to parody himself more in ways that undermined the actor.

I really only liked him as Hans Gruber, the head bad guy from the original Die Hard film.

I just had my memory refreshed after typing his name into search engine and remember his Sheriff of Nottingham, which was perfect.

Who reminds me a little like a dark haired Ian Mackellan. They might almost pass for brothers there.

BTW, his Sheriff of Nottingham also reminds me of myself a lot in this photo providing you just see is it is and not how I really am.

And lastly....

OH, you may think I only thought he was in those five films, but I knew he was in a lot of them and on stage he really excelled. Death by cancer at 69,....is he sharing with David Bowie?

[JayzusB.Christ]

69 must be the new 27.  (Lemmy, who had only turned 70 four days before he left us, was close enough.)

[Fungus]

Ahh no, one of my very favourite actors. What a week for shit news.

Can I just remind the Fates that Donald Trump is also 69, and would surely have made a more than acceptable substitute for either Bowie or Rickman? Both, preferably?

Wishing death on someone is the shittiest thing I've heard for a while.
