That is a dog that is clearly named Captain Roy Holt. I am uncertain what this has to do with the death of a cheese. YOU'RE A LOOSE CANNON - TURN IN YOUR BADGE! IT MEANS HE GETS RESULTS, YOU STOOPID CHEESE! |

RIP Rutger Hauer, doomed to already be forever most famous for a scene where he dies.

RIP Rutger Hauer, doomed to already be forever most famous for a scene where he dies. Which coincidentally took place in 2019- I remember people pointing out when we reach Roy Batty's incept data a few years back, but I'm not sure if we're given a date for the events of the film.
EDIT: a Blade Runner wiki says the date was November 22.

R.I.P., Russi Taylor -- voice of Minnie Mouse, Huey, Dewey, and Louie on the original DuckTales, and so many other Disney characters.  |

Russi Taylor, a legendary voice actress, probably known best to those here for voicing Martin, Sherri, and Terri on the Simpsons, died at 75.

Little late, but this was the last Mickey Mouse short put out before her passing. Incredibly fitting. |

RIP Hal Prince, producer and director of the first runs of the biggest and some of the finest pieces of musical theater ever (West Side Story, Fiddler on the Roof, Sweeney Todd, Company, Follies, A Little Night Music, Pacific Overtures, Phantom, Parade). Was basically Sondheim's right-hand-man during arguably the most fruitful part of his career. He died at 91.

R.I.P. 8 time NWA World Heavyweight Champion, Harley Race! Dude was one of the best ever. He was one of the meanest motherfuckers in an era of wrestling replete with mean motherfuckers.  |

RIP David Berman of Silver Jews and more recently Purple Mountains. The man who gave voice to one of my favourite sentiments in rock music, “all my favourite singers couldn’t sing”: His essay against his evil father, Rick Berman, is one of the most sickeningly sad yet hopeful things I've ever read. |

Captain Al Haynes, one of 4 pilots who managed to save 2/3 of the passengers in a 1989 crash landing of a completely uncontrollable jetliner. If you ever get a chance to see "Leaving the Earth," the episode about this story from Errol Morris' documentary TV series First Person, do so. It's one of the damnedest things I've ever seen--terrifying and exhilarating in equal measure.

Franco Columbu was consistently both the best-developed and also possibly friendliest-looking person (tied with Serge Nubret) in the pictures of Arnold's Encyclopedia of Modern Bodybuilding. RIP

R.I.P., Valerie Harper AND Franco Columbu. I think the Mary Tyler Moore Show is probably the best sitcom in American television history and Harper was a huge part of that. I know she'd been ill for quite some time so this news isn't exactly surprising, but she was such a great actor and will, at least by this little robot, be very sadly missed. |

He must've written about 90% of them. I don't know if they sparked my love of books, but they certainly solidified it and kept me going till I was ready for Stephen King. |

There is, I think, no writer who has had a more profound effect in engendering a love of reading in me that Terrance Dicks. He also wrote the single best first line of a novel in history. Better than TS Eliot, better than Austen, better than Joyce, better than Wilde. "Through the ruin of a city stalked the ruin of a man" |

What to watch in tribute to him, then -- "Brain of Morbius", "Horror of Fang Rock", or "State of Decay"? |
