In Memoriam

Generally an unmoderated forum for discussion of pretty much any topic. The focus however, is usually politics.

:wtf: It takes a special kind of asshole to be an asshole a year after his death when he would have been 101.

I was surprised to not see you in Baseball. I should have known that you beat me to it by 24 minutes in this thread.

I probably should have. -0-?

But at least you did.

:oops: I didn't mean to imply that. In Memoriam is just as valid, and is viewed by more of us.

For example:

:crybaby:

No word from Eddie Murphy yet.

Creative guy!
David Lynch, who directed off-kilter classics, dies at 78

Director David Lynch has died. His sinister, surreal vision of America made him a leading counterculture auteur in the 1980s and 1990s, with movies such as Blue Velvet, Wild at Heart and Mulholland Drive, as well as the groundbreaking television series he co-created with Mark Frost, Twin Peaks....

Born in Missoula, Mont. ...
:wave:
... His first feature, from 1977, was a black-and-white surreal horror movie. Eraserhead centers on a stressed-out man who finds himself thrust into fatherhood, with a sickly newborn who barely resembles a human child.

Lynch started making it while in his mid-20s, as a student at the American Film Institute in Los Angeles. The film initially got mixed reviews but became a stealth hit in late-night movie houses....

Lynch's mainstream breakthrough was another black-and-white film, The Elephant Man, starring Anthony Hopkins and John Hurt. Based on the real life experiences of a British man with severe deformities, the 1980 movie was nominated for eight Academy Awards.

But even with those accolades, Lynch did not get final cut for his film version of Dune, based on Frank Herbert's science fiction novel. He hated the end result that was released in 1984 and told NPR he learned the hard way to always have creative control....
I hated it, too.

RIP :(

Garth Hudson, keyboardist and last member of The Band died yesterday. Probably dig out The Last Waltz later on and sit at the good right arm of Mr. Natural.

:( One of the all time great groups with The Last Waltz being one of the all time great albums and concert movies. RIP


1960s pop icon Marianne Faithfull has died at her home in London

:( She had a long and successful career. I remember her best for the soundtrack to the haunting Trouble in Mind (film), 1985, and the award-winning Broken English (album). RIP
