  Just learned of the sad passing of John Ashton aged 76.
  
  A veteran of over 200 film and tv appearances, he's probably best known for playing John Taggart in the Beverley Hills cops movies. Including this years Axel F.
  
  RIP

  Fond memories of watching Kristofferson in Convoy in the seventies. For me John Ashton will always be Marvin Dorffler in the great Midnight Run. Very sad news

  RIP John Amos. Fond memories from Lock Up, Die Hard 2 and Coming to America. I notice he was also in Hologram Man, a PM entertainment B-movie I've been meaning to rewatch since I caught it on TV twenty plus years ago.
  
  And RIP John Ashton. It was great to see him again in Axel F. Unforgettable in Beverly Hills Cop and Midnight Run. I remember from Instinct as well.
  
  And RIP Maggie Smith. Prisoner of Azkaban is my next movie to watch. Others on my Smith watchlist: The Lonely Passion of Judith Hearne, Evil Under the Sun, Death on the Nile and Travels with My Aunt.

  I remember Grosse Fatigue. So funny.
  
  RIP horror writer James A. Moore. He died in March this year, but I just discovered him reading This Is Halloween. At 58, he died way too young.
