    RIP Denis, the father of my very first childhood friend. He died this morning. He was well in his 80s. My friend sadly became schizophrenic in teenage and their family never truly recovered from it.

    Thanks... I'm not devastated because he was very old and very sick (Alzhemer's disease), but it's tragic how this family suffered. My childhood friend had grown apart at some point in teenage. I always felt uneasy meeting him again when he was on medication, he was just not the same person.

    I've seen many people suffer from various diseases, a lot of them bring their share of tragedies, but mental ilnesses are the ones I fear the most.

    I agree with mental illnesses being feared the most. As someone who has a form of autism and depression, I understand that it can be difficult for other people to be around. I lost an aunt on New Year’s Day to various diseases, namely Parkinson’s. It is sometimes better to not have to see them in pain. We are here too support you @Ludovico you are one of us!

    James Cameron wanted him to play The Terminator. He decided against it because OJ was too nice of a guy in his eyes. Further shows Cameron’s poor judgement of people and people skills, lol.

    I take it this was an SNL skit?

    @MaxCasino, if he only knew!

    And during Norm's time on SNL, he spent a hearty amount of his Weekend Update time cracking harsh jokes about OJ being a murderer. It eventually led to a big falling out with him and Lorne/the producers, and inevitably, his departure from the show.

    In France, we recently lost famous equestrian and circus owner Alexis Grüss, who passed away, aged 79 :

    And the world of comics has just lost writer, artist, and historian Trina Robbins, at the respectable age of 85 :

    Among a lot of other things, she designed Vampirella's costume, but also worked on Wonder Woman. I met her twice in the '90s, at the UKCAC in London.

    RIP Jean-Pierre Ferland. Not my favourite Quebec singer, but one of the few last great ones.

    As of yesterday, 10 years have passed since Bob Hoskins passed away. The consummate actor.

    RIP. I’ve been thinking about him a lot lately actually. Who Framed Roger Rabbit and Hook are childhood favorites.

    Cant believe its that long
    Watched him recently in 'The Long Good Friday', probably his finest hour, though really Bob was great in everything! 'A Prayer for the Dying' turned up on telly a few weeks ago, a not so great thriller starring Mickey Rourke as an I.R.A. killer, Bob was in it as. Priest, and as usual stole it!

    I discovered yesterday he acted in a version of Thomas Middleton's The Changeling for television. I'd like to see that along with A Prayer for the Dying, Last Orders and Unleashed, among others.

    Here's what I've seen of his:
    The Long Food Friday
    Brazil
    Mona Lisa
    Who Framed Roger Rabbit
    Blue Ice
    Super Mario Bros.
    Nixon
    The Secret Agent

    LOTR The Two Towers - Simbelmynë on the Burial Mounds

    One of the greatest scene in the LOTR's trilogy.

    Oh no, I love Bernard Hill R.I.P.

    'Gis 'A job' (headbutt). Yosser was a character.

    We actually watched Boys From the Black Stuff in school during English lessons.

    RIP Bernard Hill.

    He was excellent as Captain Smith in Titanic.

    RIP Bernard Hill

    A powerful actor. I loved his moment in The Two Towers where he wakes up from his "trance" and gives Grima a look that says, "boy, I'm gonna rough you up good!".

    Hill as King Théoden was incredible Hill has so much gravitas in that role.

    The Two Towers is my favorite from the LOTR' movie trilogy largely down to Hill.

    LOTR The Two Towers - Forth Éorlingas

    Inspirational.

    Not a good time for Bernards: Bernard Pivot died.
    He was an admirer of Anthony Burgess, which I liked about him, Burgess being my favourite writer. But Pivot was also complacent (like the whole French intelligentsia) towards Gabriel Matzneff.
