Awards Moderator HarmonicGenerator Posted January 6 Awards Moderator Share Posted January 6 Attenborough is a good shout. It’s going to be a sad sad day when it happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidB6937 Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 They'll probably replace him with AI. Or Homer Simpson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even the bit part actors/reoccurring characters. Just an amazing and lovely bunch of people. Danny especially. That's going to be a proper gut punch. I hope I get offered an egg in that trying time when it happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merzbow Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 David Lynch is the one obvious choice for me, not only is he my most beloved director I still feel like there's so much more he could do but that time will eventually come.. We'll never find out what really happened to Laura Palmer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A slight aside, but my brother requested some art work for his house for Christmas and on my search, I found ou there is a surprising amount of Frank Reynolds influenced artwork available, I highly recommend Googling it.

There are some excellent Frank tattoos and I saw a video where Danny's daughter I think, is showing them to him and he loves it. I adore that man.

Awards Moderator Onyx2 Posted January 6 Awards Moderator Share Posted January 6 Getting to a thread too late means you miss all the good ones: Michael Palin is the nation's favourite uncle and feels thoroughly decent in every way, and the thought of no new John Williams music makes me very sad - every year since they've done it Spotify have told me he's my favourite artist. I've wanted to write a book about John Williams for ages but I lack the technical music knowledge to fully get across the connections in his work ("it gets loud here like this other song, do you understand?!") Fully on-brand for me but Heston Blumenthal will shatter me for days. I have had the suspicion he's not been well for a while but I hope I'm wrong.

RIDDUM_N_STYLE Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 Mark Hammill, Harrison Ford, James Earl Jones and Anthony Daniels would crush me being a huge Star Wars fan Same with the core 4 The Simpsons voice cast, the show ultimately dies the minute one of them do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlesTuckerTheThird Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 Tom Lehrer. His humour and willingness to speak truth to power very much shaped my own humour and political views, but in my heart I know he's 95 and it's pretty much a matter of time.

cobra_gordo Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Schwarzenegger and Attenborough are both going to be tough losses. Billy Connolly dying is probably going to destroy me for a few days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members BomberPat Posted January 8 Paid Members Share Posted January 8 Not wanting to get morbid and think about younger people, and just stick to those who have had a good innings, a lot of my heroes and inspirations have already gone, but Tom Waits has been mentioned, and that's one that would definitely really hit me hard. I don't think many musicians or artists of any kind had a bigger inspiration on me, or did more to kind of open my eyes. Another, in the same kind of boat as the likes of Tom Lehrer in "just a matter of time" and having already largely accepted it, is Marshall Allen. He's the bandleader of the Sun Ra Arkestra, and a wonderful musician that I've been lucky enough to see several times over the years - the last time I saw him was, if memory serves, a week before his 98th birthday. He's now 99, and is having to miss the next European tour as he's been advised not to fly, so I expect I won't see him again. Hayao Miyazaki will be a big one, too; I always get upset at the idea of somebody extremely creative passing away, or otherwise being unable to work any more, because there's a feeling of the world becoming a little less magical, and of art and creativity becoming a little more bland and standardised in their absence. It's hopefully a long, long way off, but I won't be able to cope with losing Bob Mortimer from the world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Jazzy G Posted January 8 Paid Members Share Posted January 8 Paul McCartney. Ringo to a lesser degree, but if anything happened to Sir Paul it'd be hard to take. Band On The Run is a heck of an album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
