Werthead Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 Hell, Nightmare at 20,000 Feet (starring William Shatner) is probably the best-known episode of The Twilight Zone, or at least right up there. Ladyhawke is an underrated entry in the "inexplicably large 1980s fantasy movie boom" as well. He also directed most of Superman II, in a situation that remains weird and contentious to this day.

GallowKnight Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 Biz Markie was true original and always delivered no matter if the topic at hand was picking boogers, eating crunchy food or not really knowing the words to Bennie and the Jets.

Ran Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 Rest in peace, Jackie Mason. He was a fixture on TV and in films when I was a kid. I gather form obits I've seen now that he went from staunch Republican to Trumpist, but it doesn't change how funny he was. He won an Emmy for voicing Krusty's father, Rabbi Hyman Krustofski: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigFatCoward Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 RIP Dieter Brummer. For people of a certain age in the UK, Home and Away was awesome around that time. He was also excellent as a corrupt cop in underbelly Season 2&3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly, it looks like it may be suicide as the ABC is listing mental health and suicide prevention info with their report. Only 45. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ran Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 Oh man, Markie Post has passed away from cancer at the age of 70, less than a month after Charles Robinson. I remember her best from Night Court as well, but she had a lot of TV roles over the year -- The Fall Guy, played Elliot's mother on Scrubs... Not many actors left from Night Court. Harry Anderson died in 2018 (RIP). There's John Larroquette, Richard Moll, Marsha Warfield (who I see has her first TV credits in years from 9-1-1)... and Brent Spiner, never a regular but a recurring actor who did some of the funniest bits on the show.
