Teng Ai Hui Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 I'm really going to miss Fred Willard. For the last year or two, his guest appearances on Jimmy Kimmel Live have been the funniest things on the late night talk shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leofric Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 RIP Ian Holm Loved him in everything especially as evil robot Ash in Alien, Bilbo in Lord of the Rings, Father Cornelius in Fifth Element. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dog-days Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 This hit me really hard. I know he was 88, and ready to go, but he was a such a big part of my childhood through playing Frodo in the BBC Radio Lord of the Rings and Pod in The Borrowers. Lovely photos here of Holm recording the series with Michael Hordern and John Le Mesurier. Bill Nighy is one of the few principle actors from the production left, I think. Later I remember him as Bilbo, of course, and as the doctor in The Madness of King George opposite Nigel Hawthorne. Never saw him live on stage, which I regret. He had a remarkable physical presence, I think - the short, solid frame, that voice and those piercing eyes. You can hear a clip from the last minutes of the BBC drama here Stephen Oliver composed the music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argonath Diver Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 Oh no, I had just re-watched the absolutely fantastic Reunited Apart episode of the LotR cast last night! I'm sure all of them would have loved him to drop by on the Zoom, but it was wonderful to see them all react with love when Holm's message to them was read. Anyone who missed it, by the way, if youre a fan at all of the movies, I can't recommend 50 minutes enough. It just keeps getting better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nictarion Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 Joel Schumacher at 80. He always got a lot of shit for his Batman movies, but he directed some pretty good ones, too (The Lost Boys, Falling Down, The Client). RIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ran Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 Reiner was one of the great comedy legends of Hollywood. He and Mel Brooks were inseparable, too -- if anyone has Netflix, there's an episode of Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee where Seinfeld visits the both of them which is quite lovely.

DMC Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 Just came here to pay my respects to Reiner. Quite the legend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fez Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 What a life Reiner had. Living through the Great Depression, serving during WWII, and then an entertainment career that spanned eight(!!) decades; from military shows in the '40s through TV acting and voice work in the '10s. And this is the last known photo of him, from a few days ago: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GallowKnight Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 Morricone is easily my favourite movie-theme composer. True legend. RIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nictarion Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 For me it was always him, John Williams, and then everyone else. Morricone created some of the most memorable, and beautiful, pieces of music in film history. He will be sorely missed. RIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
