Celebrity death that bummed you out the most... - Page 65

CzinZumerzet · 10-29-2011, 04:19 PM

He was quite strange, almost anti-social for a man who courted fame and as you said, deeply mysoginistic and homophobic.

Did you know Thatcher entertained him at Chequers for several Christmases, now what do you suppose they talked about over the mince pies..?

I knew him slightly a long time ago and couldn't find a likeable side to him, but he had something. Fear? Massive insecurity?

He didn't have friends.

And yet I feel unaccounably sad at his passing. End of an era I guess.

Goodbye Smokin' Joe. When boxing was cool, you were the coolest.

The past few days, this whole Michael Jackson/Dr Death trial finally got to me.
Not the trial or the verdict... the Dr probably got the verdict he deserved.

But the whole, extended ad nauseam, Jackson family is my issue.
I've believed they are a hoard of hangers-on, grasping for $.
Some may think otherwise. I've just come to that belief over years,

Then today, Janet Jackson is on TV talking about the trial and verdict.
She says the Dr was just in it for the money, and didn't care about Michael.
She may be speaking truth, but she also needs to look behind her.

Can't remember how to link to a specific point on a YouTube clip.
But this one is at 2.20.

Luca Brasi ah he sleeps with the fishes...
Sounds gorgeous in a Welsh accent

Again, sorry. I know Monster created a thread for public deaths that didn't score you points or bum you out but were worth a mention. I still haven't found it (see #1001 above).

Ken Russell died.
My interest in him was sparked by his association with Derek Jarman. But I accept he was probably a genius. Many people I admire with more knowledge of film have said so.

I wasn't really attracted to his films - it's not a medium which excites me and I admit my ignorance. I watched The Devils purely for Jarman's sets.

Heard Glenda Jackson on the Radio speaking very passionately about him. It moved me.

monster · 11-29-2011, 02:56 PM

nah it was just to get them (i.e. huge long obits to people no-one had) out of the deathpool. This one doesn't bother me

Sundae · 11-29-2011, 03:05 PM

It was a useful thread.
Do you remember what it was called?!

Russell's death didn't bum me out (oo-er matron) but he had enough influence on those who influenced me, for me to want to mark his passing.

If I get tired looking for threads I can be a bit "Oh fuckit", but generally I'll try to put posts in the most sensible place possible.

RIP celebrity? I dunno, never really took off

Sundae · 11-29-2011, 03:52 PM

It will now.
I presume you are familiar with the word spree...?

monster · 11-29-2011, 09:45 PM

of course....

....did big sarge send you a gun?

Gravdigr · 11-30-2011, 04:50 PM

RIP Patrice Oneal.
