Richard Swift, and I'm actually pretty angry about this (not at him, just at fate). The world sucks so often.

Dinsdale, Tuesday, 3 July 2018 20:22 (seven years ago)

A deep, terrible, irreplaceable and wholly unnecessary loss. He was my friend, and I'll miss him.

Davey D, Tuesday, 3 July 2018 20:22 (seven years ago)

Very sorry to hear that, and my condolences.

Retired AP photographer Alan Diaz dies at 71. His iconic image of a terrified 6-year-old Cuban boy named Elian Gonzalez earned him the Pulitzer Prize in 2001. https://t.co/ynVIo8qaSN

Xpost pretty good, but "Down by the lawn" is awes.

A bit like when Q magazine (maybe) quoted Dave Stewart of Eurythmics fame expressing his appreciation for Bunuel's surrealist masterpiece "Large Door"

RIP Claude, was just re-watching his absolutely essential doc about The Sobibor Rebellion last month.

calzino, Thursday, 5 July 2018 12:29 (seven years ago)

Woah, RIP.

Simon H., Thursday, 5 July 2018 12:35 (seven years ago)

I was just thinking last month: the star of Sobibór, October 14, 1943, 4 p.m. is actually a year younger than Lanzmann and still was apparently still alive last time I g-search checked.

calzino, Thursday, 5 July 2018 12:36 (seven years ago)

some of his interviews and monologues are just .. unforgettable. He did such very important work.

calzino, Thursday, 5 July 2018 12:46 (seven years ago)

I never realized his brother was Jacques Lanzmann until a few years ago.

22 Scottish caps in 8 years. LOL SFA.

Alan Alba (Tom D.), Sunday, 8 July 2018 13:12 (seven years ago)

I swear I thought he died in the 90s.

grawlix (unperson), Monday, 9 July 2018 14:23 (seven years ago)

Yr probably thinking of Troy Donahue, who we'll probably see a lot of mistakenly posted pictures of in the next few days

Lord Carrington, 99

the word dog doesn't bark (anagram), Tuesday, 10 July 2018 13:16 (seven years ago)

Famously resigned on the grounds that he'd failed at his job, a rare occurrence in politics.

Alan Alba (Tom D.), Tuesday, 10 July 2018 13:37 (seven years ago)

Still have no idea why his name gained the extra "R" when he became ennobled.

Michael Jones, Tuesday, 10 July 2018 15:39 (seven years ago)

It's like Haringey and Harringay all over again.

Madchen, Tuesday, 10 July 2018 15:44 (seven years ago)

As long ago as April, but I only just now became aware: RIP F'Murrr, creator of probably my favourite comic of all time, <i>Le Génie des alpages</i>.

Sinatra's first wife Nancy, at 101

the ignatius rock of ignorance (Dr Morbius), Saturday, 14 July 2018 09:36 (seven years ago)

clearly a mob hit :(

look, you’re just gonna get gravy on the baby sometimes 🤷‍♂️ (bizarro gazzara), Saturday, 14 July 2018 09:39 (seven years ago)

“There is no bitterness, only great respect and affection between Sinatra and his first wife,” Gay Talese wrote in 1966. “And he has long been welcome in her home and has even been known to wander in at odd hours, stoke the fire, lie on the sofa, and fall asleep.”

Just got out of an imdb clickhole, and found that screenwriter & 70s game show stalwart (and husband of the late Patti Deutsch) Donald Ross died last month.

Making Plans For Sturgill (C. Grisso/McCain), Sunday, 15 July 2018 14:47 (seven years ago)

RIP. Probably deserves a mention on Old time actors and directors that you were surprised to find out were married to each other once upon a time

Pwn Goal Picnic (James Redd and the Blecchs), Sunday, 15 July 2018 15:53 (seven years ago)

Not because of surprise, but because of the Match Game/Tattletales subtheme tie-in

Shinobu Hashimoto, co-screenwriter of Seven Samurai, Ikiru, Rashomon, The Hidden Fortress and some other movies you may have heard of, exactly 3 months after his 100th birthday.
