Celebrity Obituaries and Passings

[Rando Yaguchi]

Michael K. Williams, best known for acting in "The Wire", has passed away today..

Whaaattt? Fuck. That seriously sucks. Phenomenal actor and a great guy. Omar Little is one of the great characters of all time, and Williams' nuanced, believable and at times terrifying performance is a big reason why. This one hurts.

For example:

Norm Macdonald, the famous deadpan comedian, writer and actor, has passed away at 61, after a 9 year private battle with cancer.

I have no words. RIP

[eabaker]

Yeah, this one hits hard. He was solidly my favorite Weekend Update host, surpassing even Jane Curtin.

[Terasawa]

One of my favorite stand up bits (which I think I might have also posted here or shared elsewhere at Michael Collins' death earlier this year):



RIP, and as always, FUCK CANCER.

[UltramanGoji]

Legitimately shocked and extremely upset by this. Norm was one of my favorite comedians and one of the most unique I've ever heard. This sucks, RIP you ol' battle axe.

[o.supreme]

Wow, that is sad. He just had a comedy/interview show on Netflix in the last year or so, kind of piggybacking off the success of David Letterman's show. He had a very unique sense of humor for sure, and will defintely be missed.

Man this sucks. Norm was a great comedian that just didn't hold back. Old school comedy.... damn.

Variety: Jane Powell, Spirited Star of Movie Musicals ‘Royal Wedding,’ ‘Seven Brides,’ Dies at 92

[Tyrant_Lizard_King]

Actor Willie Garson has died. He was best known for his roles as Carrie's gay pal Stanford Blatch in Sex and the City and Theodore "Mozzy" Winters in the USA networks' crime dramedy White Collar. Cause of death has not been revealed. Man that's too bad. Loved him in White Collar. He might have been the best character in the whole show.

I’m very sad to report that composer Koichi Sugiyama of Ideon, Dragon Quest and of course, Godzilla Vs Biollante has passed away. I’m sure that most of you are aware of this since the news has been posted on the main page, but still, thought I’d shout it out around here.

May him and Ifukube have a musical face-off in heaven.

RIP indeed. Bio Wars is one of my all time favorite pieces of music from the Godzilla mythos

[LSD Jellyfish]

I'll probably start a shitstorm for saying this, but while he composed some great and iconic music, the dude was a massive piece of shit ultra-nationalist. It's sad to see anyone go, but he was the type that defended a lot of WW2 Japanese shit, denies a lot of wronging in Japan, and has been pretty openly outspoken against a lot of things, the type of things that are pretty antithetical towards my current life and family. To be clear, not cheering his death or anything, but it's the type of thing that I don't think a lot of people know, and it's important to recognize the super bad parts of Japan.

Yeah, fuck yeah Biowars. Okay, I take my previous message back.

Spoiler:

Kinda mixed feelings on this all around. Sad to see the dude died, but also my aforementioned message stands.

I just watched GvsB again recently, so this hit me quite hard.

R.I.P. Sugiyama-san

I'll probably start a shitstorm for saying this, but while he composed some great and iconic music, the dude was a massive piece of poop ultra-nationalist. It's sad to see anyone go, but he was the type that defended a lot of WW2 Japanese poop, denies a lot of wronging in Japan, and has been pretty openly outspoken against a lot of things, the type of things that are pretty antithetical towards my current life and family.

That's ironic since Ishiro Honda himself actually experienced his country's crimes first hand.

This one is recent, so i can't really bring in a source just yet, but Christopher Ayres', the most recent man to play the part of Frieza from Dragon Ball, passed away only a little more than an hour ago...

Skreoonking heartbroken man.

[Tyrant_Lizard_King]

I was taken by surprise when I heard of his passing. He was by far my favorite voice for Frieza, and he had some serious talent. My condolences to his partner Krystal, his brother Greg, and the rest of his friends and family.
