Another celebrity death to report. Lauren Bacall was a little before my time so I'm not really familiar with her work but I know she was in some great movies and was married to Humphrey Bogart. Not nearly as surprising as Robin Williams but still a significant loss to the film world. Sadly, her death probably won't receive the attention it deserves because it happen so close to Williams, much like what happened with Michael Jackson and Farrah Fawcett a few years ago. http://www.cbc.ca/news/arts/lauren-bacall-screen-legend-dead-at-89-1.2734806 |

We had it all, just like Bogey and Bacall. Staring in our own late late show, just like we did in Key Largo.
That's two of the three. Who will be the third?

Tuned in, immediately get to watch cringey Ubisoft talking head offering her deepest sympathies to the families impacted by the Orlando shooting while flanked by a man in a giraffe suit and some sort of "horrifically garish neon costumes through the ages" exhibit or something. We need to stop this fucking planet right now and sort some shit out. -Kail

Speaking of PSH- I stumbled on to "last known photographs' page in a late night surfing session the other day and saw a pic of him passed out on a commercial flight 2 days before he died  I am sure it seems mostly innocuous at the time, but looking back it is really sad that no one saw how far gone he was in time to try to save him. |

96 is a hell of a run. Good for him. I remember when he did the Jeopardy voiceover for Weird Al's "I Lost On Jeopardy" and the fact that Weird Al could get him to do it was very cool. And this was back before Weird Al was move than a novelty act, really. Good on him. What a voice.

I'd have said James Garner started the current three, as he died less than a month ago.
On Seinfeld - in its era, that show was damn funny. For me it takes a special talent to make me enjoy embarrassment comedy. That show had it, Faulty Towers had it. Watching Curb or the Office is like pulling teeth for me on the other hand.
As for Robin Williams - it took me a while to just process this. I can still clearly remember watching the Happy Days episode where Mork first appeared and I just wanted more of it. Not everything he did resonated with me, the manic-ness could sometimes be too much, but you always felt that Williams had something extra about him that no one else had. His ability to pull comedy out of seeming thin air was incredible. It's weird that it never really occurred to me that he had personal issues because his comedy always seemed to be so full of the joy of life. Reflecting on it though, it makes some sense.
edit: crap, wrong thread for most of this. What I get for reading two related threads in a row.
