oh no at DAF / Dibango / Uderzo

I feel bad at not "oh no"-ing at the other one of the last 4 who I don't know much about, so I'll listen to some Psychic Ills later, sorry to that guy too

― a passing spacecadet, Tuesday, 24 March 2020 11:31 (six years ago)

Just heard via Psychedelic Baby magazine that the great Catherine Ribeiro has died.

Is this confirmed? I've found recent news stories that she just had a stroke....

― eatandoph (Neue Jesse Schule), Wednesday, 25 March 2020 04:23 (six years ago)

Lots of posts on Twitter but don't thinks there's been anything official yet

He was a co-creator of the “Honey, I Shrunk the Kids” franchise, for which he shared a story credit,

Of course we love Reanimator, but has Society ever looked more like a documentary?

― Two Gentlemen with the Rona (Noodle Vague), Wednesday, 25 March 2020 11:52 (six years ago)

That was a yuzna joint tho (I get mixed up too)

― felt jute gyte delete later (wins), Wednesday, 25 March 2020 11:55 (six years ago)

Lol I even chexked. Sorry for senility.

― Two Gentlemen with the Rona (Noodle Vague), Wednesday, 25 March 2020 11:56 (six years ago)

Re-Animator reminds of that golden era of VHS rental when I first got a shitty top loader reconditioned video player and it always seemed like there wasn't such a thing as a bad movie (even though probably most of 'em were bad!)

― calzino, Wednesday, 25 March 2020 11:58 (six years ago)

80s VHS era was the golden age of horror

― Two Gentlemen with the Rona (Noodle Vague), Wednesday, 25 March 2020 12:01 (six years ago)

(xxp) They were friends though... not surprisingly.

― Bridge Over Thorley Waters (Tom D.), Wednesday, 25 March 2020 12:01 (six years ago)

Actually probably early 70s to late 80s

― Two Gentlemen with the Rona (Noodle Vague), Wednesday, 25 March 2020 12:01 (six years ago)

OK, From Beyond *was* Gordon and that's my personal fave, a glorious psychedelic freakout

― Two Gentlemen with the Rona (Noodle Vague), Wednesday, 25 March 2020 12:03 (six years ago)

... co-written with Yuzna!

― maura, Wednesday, 25 March 2020 13:14 (six years ago)

aw man, i liked that dude on top chef and as a cook. RIP

― Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Wednesday, 25 March 2020 14:14 (six years ago)

Tabla was a great fucking restaurant. Most money I've ever spent on a date, and worth it.

― dan selzer, Wednesday, 25 March 2020 15:28 (six years ago)

fuuuuuck Stuart Gordon ruled. RIP.

I expect a tribute episode of The Flop House

― silby, Wednesday, 25 March 2020 16:47 (six years ago)

I keep thinking I have seen Re-Animator, but I have not

― brooklyn suicide cult (Dr Morbius), Wednesday, 25 March 2020 16:53 (six years ago)

that was like my favorite move for years. Haven't seen it in many but had the right mix of gore and dark humor and lack of dumb teenagers?

― dan selzer, Wednesday, 25 March 2020 19:06 (six years ago)

Any updates on Ribeiro?

― Robert Adam Gilmour, Wednesday, 25 March 2020 22:51 (six years ago)

Just seen people in Facebook mention a stroke and no further info.

Curly Neal 😢

― Johnny Fever, Thursday, 26 March 2020 18:30 (six years ago)

Curly's a rough one. Like lots of others I'm guessing, he was why I got interested in basketball in the late '70s, sliding around the gym floor with my socks pulled up above my knees. RIP.

― Bryan, Thursday, 26 March 2020 18:47 (six years ago)

RIP Curly

I got his autograph as a kid (and Geese Ausbie's!) and thought I'd won the lottery

― Yanni Xenakis (Hadrian VIII), Thursday, 26 March 2020 21:01 (six years ago)

(xpost) I have Richard Reeves' Nixon book but haven't read it; I've seen him on more than one Nixon documentary.

― clemenza, Thursday, 26 March 2020 21:03 (six years ago)

Missed Curly...Nostalgia for watching him and Meadowlark Lemon when I was younger.
