    George Segal was a big film star back in the 70s but I never loved him more than in the brilliant sitcom Just Shoot Me. If ever a show needed to be rediscovered?

    R.I.P. George Segal . Great actor
    He starred in one of my favourite heist movies,
    'The Hot Rock' and lets not forget spy movie 'The Quiller Memorandum' with that terrific John Barry score!

    After George Segal died on Tuesday, I decided to watch a couple of episodes of “Just Shoot Me!” – a great show that I first discovered in syndication – after it had left the air in 2003.

    And when I’m in the mood for watching “Just Shoot Me!” I always make a point to watch the episode called “Eve of Destruction” – which featured actress Jessica Walter as Segal’s ex-wife (Eve Gallo) as they scheme over an old painting. And so today, I wake up to this news….

    A fixture on US television for decades (just check out her long list of credits on imdb.com) many will note her performance in the Clint Eastwood movie “Play Misty for Me” (1971). She was 80 years of age.

    RIP Ms. Walter.

    Damn, RIP, Jessica, I always loved her work in film and particularly in both Archer and Arrested Development. She was fantastic in Grand Prix, as well, and very beautiful.

    Play Misty for Me is one of her best.

    While I was watching “Them!” (1954) last night, I learned that actress Joan Weldon died in February (her family didn’t make it public until early March). “Them!” is one of my favorite “Big Bug” films of the 1950’s and Ms. Weldon’s role as Dr. Patricia Medford is a large reason for that.

    Although I knew that she had a very short movie career (including “Them!”) and pursued a stage career instead, I had no idea she was so prolific.

    R.I.P. Prince Philip, I was in my car and switched on the radio to hear the National anthem playing, Just as I was wondering why. His death was announced.

    99 is a good age. Not a big royalist myself, I nevertheless have always respected the man.

    Sad to hear of the death of Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh. 99 is a great age but I was hoping he'd make it to the milestone of 100 later this year. What a life of massive public service well lived to the fullest extent.

    Prince Philip was an Ian Fleming Bond fan too which is confirmed in O.F. Snelling's Double O Seven James Bond: A Report (1964):

    "One sees in the gossip columns that the Duke of Edinburgh reads Fleming avidly." (p. 183 of the Panther Books paperback edition, 1965).

    Perhaps more surprisingly the Duke was also a subscriber to the long-running British journal the Flying Saucer Review since its inception in the 1950s:

    RIP Prince Philipp. At almost 100 he lived a good and long life. And apparently was the best support the Queen could ever have hoped for. In Germany we abolished monarchy back in 1918, but the German yellow press is still very much into monarchy, ie. the British, Swedish, Dutch, Norwegian and Spanish monarchy, they simply love it.

    RIP DMX.

    Just heard about this through reading this forum. Tragic to die at such a young age.

    RIP DMX. Loved me a bit of DMX back in the day. '...And Then There Was X' was on constant replay, and he had memorable music/roles in Jet Li's Romeo Must Die and Seagal's Exit Wounds. He does some cool fight moves in the latter. Check out 'First I'm Gonna Crawl', it was at the start of Romeo Must Die, but disappointingly not on the soundtrack, and 'No Sunshine' from Exit Wounds is a great cover of the Bill Withers classic.
