Oh wow. That link made me realize I've never actually seen the video for Shook Ones before, which is basically a perfect song as far as I'm concerned.

I was just youtubing Right Back at You and feeling quite emotional for loads of different reasons:(

Swedish actor Mikael Nyqvist, 56, lung cancer.

― grawlix (unperson), Tuesday, 27 June 2017 23:23 (eight years ago)

damn...way too young. he was very good in everything i saw him in. great in Together, better than he needed to be in the Millennium films, a really good villain in Ghost Protocol and John Wick.

Ooh, RIP Barry and why not.

film critic and onion magnate

― blog haus aka the scene raver (wins), Saturday, 1 July 2017 11:18 (eight years ago)

I will always associate him with the 80's because I don't recall watching him once since he went to Sky. I can't remember what he said about the likes of Highlander and Big Trouble in Little China, i probably would have still watched them if he said they were trash! But can remember watching his review of Withnail and I for some strange reason.

― calzino, Saturday, 1 July 2017 11:24 (eight years ago)

My weirdly vivid memory is of seeing him review some Arnie film or other and constantly referring to him not by that affectionate diminutive nickname but by the diminutive nickname "Schwartzy", young me was like "wtf nobody calls him that how are you getting this wrong"

― blog haus aka the scene raver (wins), Saturday, 1 July 2017 11:50 (eight years ago)

lol @ Schwartzy! Talking of that, although I can't remember any interesting details about his review I can remember excitedly telling my bro about how good Predator is going to be after a Norman review, Serous! This film is going to be so wicked I'm going to watch it twice!

― calzino, Saturday, 1 July 2017 11:58 (eight years ago)

He was fairly conservative in his tastes, but he did shape a nation's views. Hard to imagine a more famous critic?

― Eallach mhór an duine leisg (dowd), Saturday, 1 July 2017 12:45 (eight years ago)

A more famous English one or ?

― quet inn tarnation (darraghmac), Saturday, 1 July 2017 13:29 (eight years ago)

Yeah, sorry. Or, more famous to the UK

― more polls about food and reactionary art (Noodle Vague), Thursday, 6 July 2017 12:13 (eight years ago)

I wish I'd got my act together earlier this year to get up to L'pool for his 50-year-delayed inaugural mass for Paddy's Wigwam. Currently blasting Prismes from Kyldex on YT (where can I get an LP of this, I wonder?).

RIP.

― Michael Jones, Thursday, 6 July 2017 12:17 (eight years ago)

I'd put money on a Pierre Henry soundtrack to the end credits of this evening's Tour de France highlights programme on ITV4.
