Joseph Heller still dead, still at 76 (and other celebrity deaths): RIP Hank Aaron and Willie Mays
Gone way too young.
Died two weeks ago, under bizarre circumstances befitting a country singer.

Just got up, so at first I thought someone from Train had died, and it turns out their original bassist died last year. RIP to both.
Daniel Woodrell, who wrote Winter’s Bone.
Announced on X, nothing on Google yet.
Tom Stoppard. Haven't read much of his work, but have enjoyed Rosecrantz and Guildenstern and The Real Inspector Hound.

Arcadia was interesting....did get to see it in L.A.
Steve Cropper, legendary guitarist, Booker T and the MGs, Stax records, writer of Sittin On the Dock Of A Bay and In the MIdnight Hour, Blues Brother, SNL Band, and so much more.
He was 84.
Broken YouTube LinkFrank Gehry at 96. If in you're in LA, check out the Disney Concert Hall.
Caught a great show at LACMA on Gehry a number of years ago with a friend. After seeing the exhibition, I said let's go see one in person. She loved it.
I guess his buildings are controversial, but I love them.

Watch this video. It's like a David Macaulay book come to life.
Swapping this around a bit, but worth it imo, to celebrate 100 years of Dick Van Dyke.
This is how much Brits like Dick Van Dyke, despite Bert's 'cockney' accent...
Zed's dead.

Lol I was honestly thinking of doing this myself as I knew it was his birthday, beat me to it. 😀
Sad to hear about Peter Greene, I always liked him and he sadly struggled with addiction issues.
Martin Parr, English photographer, died Dec 6 at 73.
The hard, pipe hitting *****s finally let him die. Greene was 28 when that scene was filmed. I had him at maybe 40, Tommy Lee Jones’ depraved younger brother shtick. He also played the cop that got coverup shot by Lonzo in Training Day; did not spot that one. Poor man’s Joel Turkel (who was a poor man’s John Cazale)?
let's not forget about this scene
I’m probably due for a rewatch of Usual Suspects. Been a long long time.
Oh ****!
Two people found dead in Rob Reiner's home, same age as Reiner and his wife....robbery/homicide cops are there.....breaking news
well ****....what in the hell....one of America's greatest ever filmmakers.
look at this run to begin a career:
This Is Spinal Tap
The Sure Thing
Stand By Me
The Princess Bride
When Harry Met Sally
Misery
A Few Good Men
Has any other filmmaker made SEVEN great movies right out of the gate like that?
and now confirmed they were killed by their son, Nick...who has a long history of drug addiction.
