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.

in b4 official announcement of prince phillip, dead from racism poisoning at 146 years old

BIG RICHARD ENERGY (bizarro gazzara), Friday, 20 July 2018 13:53 (seven years ago)

Not convinced, looks quite like a couple of other hoaxes so far. But guess we'll see at 5.

maybe he's going to be a dad again and someone misheard

BIG RICHARD ENERGY (bizarro gazzara), Friday, 20 July 2018 14:19 (seven years ago)

He's just dead, dead racist.

mfktz (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Friday, 20 July 2018 14:20 (seven years ago)

Think it's a slightly old-fashioned midlands thing to use 'dead' as a general intensifier, do other parts of the country / world do that? It's a feature in Mandarin too.

mfktz (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Friday, 20 July 2018 14:21 (seven years ago)

the scots think it's pure dead brilliant too

BIG RICHARD ENERGY (bizarro gazzara), Friday, 20 July 2018 14:22 (seven years ago)

Every time someone starts a rumour about Prince Philip being dead, it adds another five years to his life. Please gossip responsibly.

Def an Edinburgh thing at least. Dead keen. Deid annoying. Dead tired.

'Dead wrong' is probably nationwide.

Lucy Birley - model and former wife of Bryan Ferry.

The Vogue obituary is the one to read https://www.vogue.com/article/lucy-birley-obituary

The Times obituary today is unexepectedly bad and exploitative.

The kid who said “I like turtles”!?

devops mom (silby), Friday, 3 August 2018 19:55 (seven years ago)

I thought Mustafar had died in the late '90s or early 2000s. I guess I was confusing him with Bob Flanagan (who died in 1996).

grawlix (unperson), Friday, 3 August 2018 19:56 (seven years ago)

Sometimes it feels like a run of deaths has a theme.
