dbunting Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 It was pretty shocking, had no idea he had been battling cancer for 4 years while still filming. Maybe they can do BP 2 with a female lead now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not a bad idea, but perhaps the character should be retired given the cultural significance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raja Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 I think speculation for what should be done with BP 2 is best left in the Marvel threads as opposed to here, but ymmv. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIP Chadwick. I believe he did record his part for an episode of the ...What if? animated show where T'Challa becomes Star Lord Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMC Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 I know many of you won't know who this is, but former Georgetown basketball coach John Thompson died at 78. Met him a few times, he was truly a great and inspiring man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teng Ai Hui Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 Cardinal Nation lost a legend. RIP Lou Brock. He had a full life and a great baseball career, first ballot Hall of Famer. At one time he had all the stolen base records. He was the Sammy Sosa trade before Sosa was even born. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcbigski Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 I have a not totally complete memory as a kid of someone being given 2nd base as a momento after a steal in the middle of a Mets game we went to at Shea. For some reason my sister was a Mets fan. As I remember it, it was Lou Brock, I was 6 summer of 79. Got to ask my dad if he remembers that game more clearly. Damn i used to love baseball. RIP.

Fragile Bird Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 The movie Draft Day was playing on the weekend, in anticipation of the start of the NFL season I guess. I was stunned to see one of my favorite characters in the movie was played by Chadwick Boseman. When I first saw it years ago he wasn't on my radar at all. (He plays one of the college football players GM Kevin Costner is considering drafting). It's one of my favorite sports movies. I recorded it and watched it three times before finally deleting it. Now it will always come with a tinge of sadness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea why because it's pretty preposterous but damn it I still like it, and I knew I recognized Bowman but couldn't place his name.

Teng Ai Hui Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 A baseball legend, Bob Gibson, passed about two weeks ago. He was the greatest and toughest pitcher ever. Celebrity deaths usually don't affect me, but this one hurt me very deeply. I was never great at sports, but his work ethic has had a large influence on my life.

Ran Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 Stage magician and famous skeptic James Randi has passed away at the age of 92. Famous for his $1,000,000 challenge to prove psychic powers, no one ever got past the most basic tests, and most claimed psychics avoided him like the plague. He was also sued by Uri Geller at one point, I believe, as Randi was particularly merciless with him since he was the most famous "psychic" of the era.

I know of James Randi from the documentary An Honest Liar, which I highly recommend to those who haven't seen it. It's deeper than just 'skeptic exposes various charlatans,' though there's a lot of that and it's fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ormond Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 I know few of you will know who she was, but I just found out that Rhonda Fleming died about two weeks ago. She was very gracious to me a few years ago when I wrote a column on the name Rhonda and was able to interview her over the phone about her name and how she felt about having babies named after her. She may not have been an Oscar winner but she was a big movie star in the 1950s. https://mynews4.com/news/entertainment/rhonda-fleming-film-star-of-40s-and-50s-dies-at-97-10-17-2020 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigFatCoward Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 Sean Connery has died. He was great in the untouchables. And it takes some balls to carry off the accent he used in highlander. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nictarion Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 I love his Bond movies (especially Goldfinger and From Russia With Love), but Last Crusade is what I’ll always remember him for the most. RIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
