[fill in the blank] Just Died! — Page 18

Two days after being inducted into the Wrestler Hall of Fame, the Ultimate Warrior shuffles off this mortal coil.

Wow,I only know him through Linkara and Spoony's videos but it still strikes me as sad since he can't of been that old.  I feel sorry for his family.

I guess this means we will never get the gritty reboot of the Warrior comics.

:(

Sue Townsend 68.

The first two Adrian Mole books were almost as popular as Steve Jackson and Ian Livingstone's Fighting Fantasy books in our school.

So many laughs it's hard to believe Mole wasn't a real human being.

I've never measured my thing though.

Richard Hoggart 95

Bob Hoskins 71.

NNNNOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooo :(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(

just this once, I peeked at bingos post.  Bob Hoskins died, that is too bad.  : (

This one really gave the sads, Colin Pillinger 70.

Chris Hemblade 42.

I met him a couple of times. The first time we had both entered a writing competition when I lived in Brighton and it was obvious at the award ceremony that the whole thing was stitched up.

The boy who won was the son of one of the judges and got to swap places with a girl from Boise for a couple of weeks (who was probably in some capacity connected to Dirk Kempthorne who gave out the prizes).

Chris got the second prize which was a weekend 'just outside Paris' which was apparently an utter shambles.

I got the third prize (which was £70 worth of books) all of which I still have and have been of practical use through out my life.

Chris struck me as being sort of like me but done better, it's a real shame he isn't alive and it really just inspires me to be a bit better and to get on with the washing up.

Damn!!!...H. R. Giger has passed away... (there go my hopes for his involvment towards the look of Prometheus II)

The renowned Swiss artist H.R. Giger has died at the age of 74, as a result of injuries sustained in a fall.

:(

not to belittle McQuarrie but i'd say Giger's work was far more influential.

sad news.

My first exposure to Mr Giger's work was walking around a bank holiday market probably in 1980 and seeing a jigsaw for sale with a picture of the Alien on it.

I couldn't quite make out what I was seeing, was it male, female, dead, alive,machine, reptile, clothing, skin. It seemed to give off a vibration of something I should be looking at (like the newsagents top shelf).

I became obsessed.

I began to teach myself to draw by getting magazines with Giger's work in and annoyed my teachers who thought I should have better things to do with my time by doing poor pastiches like this one :

Thanks to my obsession I got onto a degree course, met a lot of greater artists and friends around the world and had an interesting life.

Thanks Hans x

A young Cameroonian priest in a nearby diocese was shot and killed the other day. Some guy knocked on his door and shot him through the chest when he answered. The priest's parents had both already died, as had his sister, and his other sister, who had been killed in a car crash on the way back from the first sister's funeral. Craziness.

That's mortality in a nutshell.

No matter how we go we go eventually, I am naturally exempt.

Well that is just sad. Everyone who works on movies should watch his films to see how movies should be lit to create tension and mood while still allowing the viewers to see what is going on.

Please could someone show his work to JJ Abrams and whoever gave him the idea that shining spotlights directly into the camera is a good idea so that they know what a mistake they have made before they start shooting the next Star Wars movie and ruin it?
