My dad was a huge fan of Bud Spencer and Terence Hill back in the 70s.

Caroline Aherne otherwise known as Mrs Merton has passed away from cancer aged 52 RIP.

Thunderpussy

Shocking news ! RIP Caroline Aherne

Dragonpol

I was so shocked to hear Caroline Aherne had died on the BBC Radio 4 news in my car this evening. I loved Mrs Merton and she was great in The Royle Family. I recently watched a DVD of her in Mrs Merton and Malcolm. 52 is too young to die. Thank you for all the laughs, dear Caroline.

Another very sad loss. May Caroline Aherne RIP.

2016. Sucks balls.....

I was both shocked & saddened to hear of Caroline Aherne's untimely death. She had a rare talent. She first came to my attention with her nun character - I forget the name. I hope she finds peace away from the pain.

2016 sucks, big time.

Götz George & Bud Spencer both RIP

A part of my youth remembers their Iconic Schimanski Tatort And Bud Spencer (with Terrence Hill) in countless silly and very funny comedy violence movies. My best memory are the Bud Spencer movies in German they are still hilarious with their awefull lines.

I shall always love their work.

'The Deer Hunter' director, Michael Cimino, dies at age 77. RIP. :(

Benny

Sad to learn of the passing of the wonderfully talented Caroline Aherne. I first recall her as part of the cast of 'The Fast Show' and later 'The Royle Family'
Very funny lady. A tragic loss. RIP.
And also just learned of the passing of Michael Cimino, who despite not really hitting a high after, it cannot be denied that 'The Deer Hunter' is a great film. RIP.

He also made "The Year of the Dragon". An even better movie.

Really liked The Deer Hunter but have never seen any of his other films. I do remember talking to my granddad, who was working with The Federation Against Copyright Theft in the early 80s, about the legendary disaster Heaven's Gate. Is that film actually as bad as its reputation?

RIP to both Elie Wiesel and Michael Cimino. 'The Deer Hunter' is one powerful film.

The Russian roulette scenes were incredibly harrowing.

The scene where De Niro tries to convince the Viet-con to put two bullets in the chamber was almost un-watchable when I first saw the film.

He never made a better film than that,

And he never needed to. The Deer Hunter is about as quality as they come.

RIP Michael Cimino

Film producer Euan Lloyd has sadly passed away at the age of 92.
Lloyd produced such movies as The Wild Geese and The Sea Wolves starring Roger Moore, as well as the Sean Connery western, Shalako.

Sir Roger Moore paid tribute to his former producer friend...
Very sad to hear film producer Euan Lloyd has died. I made The Wild Geese and The Sea Wolves with him. He was a true gentleman.

RIP

RIP Albertina Choules, aka Tina in the woods, who was murdered by a machete wielding madman in her property in Marlow. I did not personally know the lady but she was known as a sweet and caring person.

That's simply horrible. There's no other word for it.

In France, we have a twofer : Gérard Bourgeois, composer of many songs for many people, including a famous one for Brigitte Bardot ("La Madrague") :

And director Jacques Rouffio :

2016 is a bad year to be a celebrity, even if those two had a long and fruitful life.

My goodness, that is shocking. That poor lady. May she be at eternal peace. Hopefully the culprit will face the full force of the law.
