And I was just watching his SNL racist word association skit yesterday. Title: Re: Richard Pryor dead. Post by: stray on December 10, 2005, 01:54:29 PM Greatest comedian ever imo. I've been slowly building up a vinyl collection of his albums lately actually......He should have been here longer.
Title: Re: Richard Pryor dead. Post by: Signe on December 10, 2005, 02:11:24 PM I really liked Richard Pryor back in the olden times. After setting yourself on fire, however, I have a feeling death is a bit of an anti-climax.

Title: Re: Richard Pryor dead. Post by: Evangolis on December 10, 2005, 03:57:00 PM I would think there are few more true examples of tortured genius. I wish he'd had a kinder life, even if that meant his work would not have been so strong.

Seeing him suffering from MS was just heart-wrenching. Whereever he is, I just hope he's been given his voice back, undiminished by the ravages of disease. I'm quite sure his hell was being trapped in an uncooperative body.

Silver Streak is one damn fine movie. Title: Re: Richard Pryor dead. Post by: Bunk on December 12, 2005, 02:09:01 PM I loved the Pryor/Wilder comedies as a kid. I have to admit though, when I read the headline it suprised me a little as I thought he'd already died.
