dbunting Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 I caught a few minutes of John Wick this weekend and after the scene where John checks into the hotel and meets him, the screen went black and they had a RIP "card" memoriam moment for him. Thought it was pretty cool to get it in so fast. Corvinus85 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tywin et al. Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 (edited) I always have to laugh that Belafonte became a legend in Minnesota because of Beetlejuice. Just about everyone loves him here because of this scene: What a talent. Edited April 25 by Tywin et al. Corvinus85 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zorral Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 He left this life surrounded in his home by people of all ages who all loved him -- for so many good reasons. We have had the privilege of interacting with him occasionally throughout the 90's and early 00's. He was still an activist, particularly locally, particularly around matters Afo-Latin -- and Cuba. One night in particular has stayed fizzing in my memory, a night when I was at the same dinner table with Belafonte and Baryshnikov at a fund raiser for a dance company. Those were good days.

Corvinus85 Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 Jerry Springer has died. I don't think that what he did for entertainment culture was good, though I suppose he showed the ugliness of people before social media. But he did it for money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Horse Named Stranger Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 A remorseful Springer himself agreed you about his negative influence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry of the Lawn Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 1 hour ago, hauberk said: Gordon Lightfoot, described as Canada’s greatest folk singer/songwriter has died. What a rare talent. So many great tunes. "If you could read my mind" is one of those songs that gets me almost every time I hear it. I've had to pull the car over to hear that one.

mcbigski Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 Yeah, Gordon Lightfoot could write songs. Half assed proposed going to see him play in Florida around January or so to a friend of mine. Wish we did. Talented. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbunting Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 RIP Doyle Brunson, aka Texas Dolly. He was the godfather of poker and became a celebrity because of it. I got into hold em after seeing the WSOP main event on ESPN as many others did and learned of the legends in the years after. I did read some of Super system and it helped me in the beginning. Always had a smile on his face and took bad beats with grace. Argonath Diver 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ran Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 What the fuck? Terrible news. Not only was he great as Pullo, but his turn on Dexter as Isaak Sirko, was surprisingly good given the way the show had been going writing-wise by that time. RIP, Ray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tywin et al. Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 People overuse the saying someone died too young, but 58 is too young. This one hurts. Thank you for all the memories, Ray. Like a lot of others I thought he would have been a perfect casting for Victarion if he was used in the series. Corvinus85 and Toth 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toth Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 No words. The world is just unfair... Really loved him in everything I saw of him. First and foremost of course in Rome, but also in King Arthur and The Three Musketeers and really wished to see him in GoT back then. And yes, full agreement with Tywin, he would have been Victarion.

Probably could have landed a role in either the following seasons of House of the Dragon or in A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms. I also liked him a lot in Black Sails.
