Title: RIP - The Dead Celebrity Thread
Post by: Ginsu Victim on December 29, 2015, 12:30:42 am
This is now the official thread for posting "rest in peace" messages

Lemmy Kilmister 1945-2015
As a longtime metalhead, this is a kick to the nads.

Damn, that's a shame. I always assumed he was indestructible.

I always loved the guy's sense of humour. He never took himself too seriously, which is a rarity in the music business.

I never got into Motorhead but this guy was an icon.  Musicians dying seems to be going around.  Today John Bradbury the drummer from the Specials passed away.  Both were huge to their respective genres and both will be sorely missed.

I was a big fan seeing as how I listen to both kinds of music... hard rock and heavy metal, but let's not cry a  river here.  The guy made it to 70 and for the kind of life he lived that's a pretty good run.

For the last (several to many) years, he'd be almost always seen at the Rainbow bar, playing touchscreen games.  I heard that the machine was recently moved to his house down the block to enjoy at home as he couldn't make it to the Rainbow.  That's mighy nice of them.

Jack & Coke was his drink of choice.  I think we can all find time to enjoy at least one in the next night or two.

Everybody knows that he sold his soul to the devil in the 50s for a magical set of prescription aviator glasses that allow him to live forever.  Actually Jack Kirby sold his soul and then Stan totally stole the glasses and took credit.  ;)

Here's something to think about..something that I've brought up to friends a few times in recent years.

Right now, there aren't too many bands that have lost all of their original line-up.  (I can think of maybe 2)

It's only a matter of time, and not much now, that there will be no more 'living members' of many classic rock bands....Led Zeppelin, The Doors, The Beatles, Rolling Stones, The Who, Pink Floyd, Queen, etc..

The good news is, we can still enjoy the music when they're gone.

Chyna either.  Hers is a bit sadder for me because she fell on hard times due to the way HHH got her booted from the company.  I always hoped at one point she would pull her act together and have another run in the WWE worthy of the legend that she is.  She's still not in the WWE hall of fame btw..... frikkin Sunny is in the WWE hall of fame... the woman who's job was to stand in the corner and look pretty.

I don't really agree with his assessment that the reason she isn't in there is because they can't trust her on stage.  They inducted the Ultimate Warrior and even when he was on good terms with the company he was a lunatic and they never knew what he was going to say.  All sources point to HHH, Stephanie, X-Pac and all the weirdness that revolved around their tangled relationships with each other.

He had in in neutral, not in park.  So this isn't the typical Jeep sliding out of park and squishing you scenario.  Also Anton's driveway was a steep slope.

Either he was late getting to rehearsals and forgot to open the gates and jumped out of his jeep, without engaging the parking brake fully, or the hand brake failed completely.

We end up doing dumb things when we are late and rushing, and I think this is what happened.  Sad, unfortunate and a lesson for us all.

There is a recall out on those Jeeps because you cannot easily tell if you have it in park or not.  So it may not have been his fault.

"The affected vehicles, which also include 2012-14 Dodge Chargers and Chrysler 300s, use an unconventional lever to shift the automatic transmission. Instead of moving to a different position with each gear, the lever returns to a center position. The driver must look at the shifter to make sure the proper gear is selected."

That's probably just about the dumbest design ever.
Title: Re: RIP - The Dead Celebrity Thread
Post by: lilshawn on June 21, 2016, 05:30:36 pm
I have a 2015 Chrysler 200 sport with the as mentioned "unconventional lever" shifter. As far as i could have seen... this really shouldn't have been an issue with how the electonic ebrake/parking brake system is set up now. (his vehicle must have the regular kind of manually actuated parking brake system... or a system that needs software update to alter it's behaviour.)

the activation system I have consists of a toggle switch that you can pull up to activate, or push down into the panel to deactivate. (similar to newer power window switches)

with my car, if the door is opened and the shift lever is in anything but park, (reverse, neutral, drive, or sport mode) the emergency park brake AUTOMATICALLY activates as soon as the door is opened. i've never tried this at speed, but if you're rolling and you open the door it does stop you.

if the door is opened first and the lever is actuated from park, the parking brake will AUTOMATICALLY activate.

it can be manually overridden again after it activates. (for instance if you are trying to look out under the door to line up with some car ramps) simply push the button down.

other features of said parking brake include... if it's activated manually while in drive mode, it will lock the brakes down, but will automatically deactivate when you press on the gas. (i assume for steep hill starts)

For burnout mode, (I believe only available on the sport model) you have to pull and hold up the switch for the brake. Start your burnout and release the switch lever (only need to hold the first few seconds) then the rear brakes will stay on until you depress the switch at which time the brakes release.


as for the gear selection system, Mine is a interlocked detent rotary switch. not an up down type selection. you must have the brake applied to rotate the switch from park. each gear selection has it's own detent.

once into the "moving" gears they can be freely switched between the gears, reverse.. neutral.. drive without pressing the brake. vehicle movement is monitored and if the speed is too high to shift (for instance drive to reverse while still moving) the selector WILL move there, but the transmission will not shift to the selected gear to prevent damage. if this interlock has activated you must stop, shift to park and then back to gear again.

as it sits...it's a good system. it truly is, really, idiot proof.

I believe quite honestly his death could have been prevented with a simple system update. Period.

P.S.

If you don't know, you can simply call the dealership service department anytime and give them your VIN... they will tell you over the phone if you have outstanding recalls that need to be done. recalls regardless of age are done free of charge. I just got a recall done for a 2008 nissan with like 250,000 on it for a suspension spring issue. replaced both front springs and didn't cost me a penny.

so do it. do it. do it now. don't get your ass run over. call and find out if you have a recall. get it fixed before it kills you.

but it does. unless you are trying to do something you shouldn't, then no, it doesn't. (for obvious reasons.) the aforementioned toggle shifter that  was used on some of the 2012 to 2014 300's is an exception. it was only used with one particular transmission/engine combo (not on all models)  since 2015 model year they have been changed to the rotary style knob. I haven't used that specific shift system before, but i'm pretty sure if you are stopped and want to put it in park, you could just hold the leaver up for a few seconds and it would default to park. while yes it's not a kerchunk okay we are here in this gear and have a positive stop system to ensure we are in park or drive or whatever kind of system, the onus is still on the operator to ensure their car is secure before leaving it. Much the same way I wouldn't place a running lawnmower on a hill and walk away.

Idiot proof something, and the world builds a better idiot. By all this idiot proof logic I suppose a column shifter that doesn't have a big spring attached to the dashboard to pull the leaver back to park if you take your hand off it... has a design flaw because it can be left in gear. I suppose a door that doesn't have a pulley system attached to it to pull the door closed when you sit in the seat has a design flaw, since you could leave the door open and fall out. I mean how far do you go to make something safe enough where the most lazy and inept person on the planet couldn't possibly kill themselves with this. Do you want to get out of your car and go... or do you want to do a 47 step vehicle movement interlock procedure so that the car knows damn well you are good and ready to get out?

The point i'm trying to get at is, Anton put his car in X when it should have been in Y... or thought he put it in X when he actually didn't. This isn't the vehicles fault. it doesn't matter what car on the planet you drive manual, automatic, leaver, shifter, or knob. car, truck, motorcycle or bulldozer.. if you leave it in drive, neutral, or reverse and you get out... it's probably going to run you over.  :dunno

I don't feel this is the fault of the vehicle manufacturer. Yes, An underestimation of how lazy, retarded, and inept people can be, showed a situation could occur where this could happen... but it was identified and a fix was put in place to prevent exactly this scenario.

Now, if Anton had taken his vehicle in to have the fix applied...he'd still be alive, regardless of accidentally leaving the vehicle in gear/being lazy/being stupid.

Why are you so determined to defend this poor, poor corporation?

 :dunno

cause it's being made out that it was because an unsafe vehicle did this. vehicles are inherently unsafe machines, no different from a power saw. Let your guard down for one second and your done. Becoming complacent when operating a dangerous ANYTHING can kill you.

Anton was either an idiot who didn't place his vehicle in park before getting out, or he accidentally placed it into gear when he intended not to. i'd like to think the latter, but Americans (sorry) tend to fall into the former category.

either of these scenarios wouldn't have mattered had he done the recall. His death was 100% preventable by either paying due attention and making sure his vehicle was in park before getting out, or if he had done the recall fix on his vehicle, been negligent and STILL manage to come out alive.

his death is 100% senseless and i'm sure 100% brutally painful the whole time he was trapped. It pisses me off that it had to happen because it was with absolute certainty... preventable.
Title: Re: RIP - The Dead Celebrity Thread
Post by: Howard_Casto on June 28, 2016, 03:19:25 pm
I certainly was preventable.... if the car had been designed properly there would have been no confusion... if it was built well there would have been no recall to worry about.

Sorry man but you are on the wrong side of this argument.   Because automobiles are very dangerous machines they have to be designed so even stupid people, who unfortunately still have to drive here in the USA, can work the controls. 

My mom bought a brand new Taurus in 2013... there have been FIVE recalls on the stupid thing.  She also couldn't get some of them fixed for some time because Ford was either backed up doing all the recalls, or they couldn't get the part(s) in because, again there are so many recalls. 

Considering how extremely hectic an actor's schedule can be I can absolutely see him forgetting or not bothering with the recall.  My mom have to wait SIX MONTHS to get one of them fixed and she was extremely diligent about staying on top of it.

George A Romero, one of the great directors of the horror genre, has left us at age 77. Not many people can say they'd created a genre, but the modern zombie would not be as it is without Night of the Living Dead. He was working on his next film in the series when he died, an artist to the very end.
I don't usually get emotional over celebrity deaths, but I'm writing this in tears. The man's work meant so much to me.
Thank you, George.

Damn.  I guess no more "of the dead" movies.  I really liked the way he snuck in social commentary into all of his films.  It's a shame that horror directors always have some sort of stigma in Hollywood, because this guy should have a stack of Oscars by now.  The original "Dead" trilogy in particular is right up there with Star Wars and Lord of the Rings in regards of being one of the best, most influential, set of films of all time.

Former wrestler, manager, and commentator Bobby "The Brain" Heenan has passed away at age 73. TampaBay.com has run the obituary for Bobby Heenan and it notes that Heenan died from organ failures that were brought on by his battle with cancer.

The man had the gift of gab, and was loved by everyone he worked with. I always enjoyed his work with Gorilla Monsoon.

I'm very curious to see if his family allows his body to be thoroughly autopsied.  He was an enigma to ALS researchers, to the point where I heard one announce before a Q&A, "don't ask us about Stephen Hawking, we have no idea how he's still alive."  I've wondered for many years how much brain material was actually functional....



Title: Re: RIP - The Dead Celebrity Thread
Post by: lilshawn on March 14, 2018, 01:03:21 pm
I've wondered for many years how much brain material was actually functional....

see, that's the thing. ALS only affects specialized motor neurons... all the rest of the brain's neurons aren't affected... you basically become trapped in your own body unable to move.
Title: Re: RIP - The Dead Celebrity Thread
Post by: vwalbridge on March 14, 2018, 01:27:13 pm
My father passed away at the hands of ALS a couple years ago at the age of 70. It's a ruthless disease that leaves you trapped in your own immovable body. It's nothing short of pure torture.

It was heartbreaking for our family to see my father deteriorate over the course of a couple years. But my Dad gave it hell. And he never once....not even once...complained or felt sorry for himself. It was truly inspiring to see how admirably he fought the disease.

Nothing in life is worth complaining about after seeing someone go though that fight.

I hope that ALS medical research can make a breakthrough soon for future generations.

That's great. I bet the company execs loved that many of the actors, some of them on the high end of the pay scale, get less time.

No I was playing with my Tonkas in the back yard.  Not TV.  But the next door neighbor used to beat his wife on many occasions.  You could hear the screams from down the street.  Cops came and went.

It was a mix of Twilight Zone and Perry Mason.  Drama indeed.  She didn't leave him after 34 years though.

I'm surprised Albert Finney lasted this long, given his long-time obesity. Even by '81 (Looker, the first I'd seen him) he was looking out of shape and some worn. By The Bourne Ultimatum he looked ready for the hog shed. Great actor, interesting personality.

Similar with Dick Miller. He was looking old in the 50s. Must've chain-smoked at least two packs a day for decades. Looks as he did some good work in earlier decades, the 70s onward parts becoming bit-ier and bit-ier.

"On August 27, 2019 at approximately 4:00PM the Harney County 911 Center received a call reporting that a jet car attempting to break a land speed record on the Alvord Desert had crashed leading to one fatality," the sheriff's office said.

He seemed content, though.

"It's kind of weird because it's like a lifetime," Ocasek told the magazine, looking back at the history of The Cars. "It is a lifetime. I had three families during that time. They are like lives that go by and millions of people and things and artists and writers and business people and fans. ... It's a lot of stuff. It's been a pretty eventful life, I can say."

RIP Rip.

https://www.npr.org/2019/10/07/767788731/rip-taylor-comedian-know-for-his-camp-and-confetti-dies-at-84

Quote
Rip Taylor, the comedian who became a fixture of 1970s game shows with his outrageous antics, flamboyant style and signature confetti-throwing, has died at age 84.

His publicist, Harlan Boll, confirmed Taylor died Sunday in Beverly Hills, Calif.

Taylor's spanned more than 40 years and encompassed Broadway, Las Vegas, film and television.

Born Charles Taylor in Washington, D.C., he got his start as a stand-up comic playing clubs in the Catskills after he'd served in the Army during the Korean War.

In a 1992 interview with United Press International, Taylor acknowledged that much of his early material consisted of jokes stolen from USO tours he'd seen.

His first national television appearance came in 1963 on The Ed Sullivan Show, where he became known as the "crying comedian" for a routine in which he cried on stage as he begged the audience to laugh at his jokes.

"I sat on a stool telling jokes, and nobody was laughing," he told UPI in 1992. "In desperation, I pretended to cry as I begged them to laugh. That killed 'em."

Taylor went on to make some 2,000 guest appearances on such shows as The Hollywood Squares, Match Game, The Gong Show and Super Password.
He was also a frequent guest on The Merv Griffin Show, The Tonight Show and Late Night With David Letterman. He also made a cameo on The Monkees.

In the 1970s, Taylor hosted The $1.98 Beauty Show. Created by The Gong Show's Chuck Barris, it was a spoof of traditional beauty pageants, where contestants won such prizes as a bouquet of rotten vegetables, or the top prize of $1.98.

Yeah, I was thinking about him recently, perhaps because of the Jackie Brown mention..... I saw that movie only a few/several months ago, the only Tarantino movie I much care for, and was thinking he looked rough in '97. Smoking all over his face. Still, he made close to 80, though I don't know his faculty status in the last ten years....oh ---steaming pile of meadow muffin---, he had brain cancer......well. Anyways, not until I saw it again a couple/few years ago, I realized I knew him from 1980's Alligator (seen on TV in '81/2). I liked him.

@Ginsu Victim: yes I found that out after reading an obituary, and watched the proffered clip. He seemed cogent. He was a good character actor. Emotional expression in the eyes conveys the heart of things, and he didn't have that. He wasn't 'big'. Like Nicholas Cage. Systemically dead-pan voice and no eye expression. Blech. I think his main fans are latter-day anime folks, for whom the blank stare is the be all/end all.....

PS: wasn't interested in Breaking Bad.

Also of bizarre note is the fact that the press keeps using these weird photos that were taken when she got the medal of freedom that make her look like a white lady.  She's black, which makes her story 10 times as awesome imho.  Watch hidden figures.... while not always historically accurate, it's a good flick.

Joe Diffie, country music star, dies from complications from Covid-19 at age of 61.

As a fan of country music in the 90's, I really enjoyed his music. He actually signed up to play our state this September about a month ago or so.

Ain't No Sunshine is a great song. That tune has given a lot of happiness to my family. My wife loved it.

When my son was really little he played drums on that song and Sweet Home Chicago at a local bar. His drum teacher was in a blues band and he let my son take his place on 2 songs on a Saturday night about once a month. He could hardly see over the kit. It was a lot of fun. People would give him tips, and he always got a huge ovation. Everyone was really cool to him even when he made mistakes. I actually cried when that place shut down. His favorite part is they always gave him free root beer. For some reason that blew his mind.

Danny Goldman best known for voicing Brainy Smurf on the Smurfs has passed away.  Among a handful of small parts he played the the medical student who questioned Gene Wilder in Young Frankenstein.  For the life of me I could never figure out why the guys voice was so familiar when I watched Young Frankenstein.  Now I know.

That's awful.  there had been rumors about his health for years so I guess they weren't rumors. 

It puts Disney in a very awkward position.  Black Panther is kind of the symbol of positive blackness in the MCU.  Do they kill the character off and leave a giant hole or recast and potentially piss off a lot of fans?

Yeah.  You know he did like half a dozen films in the last couple of years that were more on the masterpiece theatre end of the spectrum and out of the ones I've seen he was really good in all of them.  You could tell he was one of those guys that just loved to act and loved to tell a story.  Shia Lebouf of all people has also been on an arthouse masterpiece streak lately.  I'm hoping the super hero genre will get a break for a while and we can get back to a variety of genres in the theatre soon.... if we can go to the theatre soon.

Humpty Dance was one of those songs that I was always really surprised that nobody did a Stepmania/DDR track for, so I made my own:

He took advantage of stupid and desperate people to get rich so yeah, a real scumbag.   Then again he didn't rob anybody.... all those people gave him their money.  I think the lesson here is if a preacher asks for money and you aren't allowed to see the receipt for what they purchased to help the needy, maybe, I dunno, don't trust them.

Yes because the guy that frikkin invented the format and thus gets to decide how it is pronounced holds up a can of the peanut butter in the photo and used all kinds of Jiff puns in the original article back in the day because he pronounces it the other way.   Quite frankly anyone that doesn't pronounce it like the peanut butter is actively being an ---uvula--- at this point.

We put Leave It To Beaver on in the mornings while we get ready for work.  There’s a free station called MeTV that airs it.  It is remarkable how many problematic plot lines are in that show.  I doubt actual reality was like that for many families, but it was clearly aspirational for a lot of people.  The father is a sanctimonious jackass and the mother weighs 90lbs and solely exists to make coffee.  It’s not all bad and strives to be wholesome but you’ll be exclaiming, “…wow…” periodically.

(https://espanol.wwe.com/f/styles/talent_champion_lg/public/rd-talent/Profile/Antonio_Inoki_pro.png)

Antonio Inoki has passed away in his home on 1 October 2022, after a prolonged battle with systematic Amyloidosis. The former pro-wrestler turned politician was 79 years old. He was from Yokohama City.

In the past 2-3 days, his blood sugar levels had dropped to potentially fatal levels and he had to continue recuperating at home. This morning, his condition took a turn for the worse, and he took his final breath before passing away.

He was born in 1943, and his father died when he was 5. When he was 13, his family had moved to Brazil for him to work in a coffee plantation. After having won a few fighting tournaments in Brazil, he had caught the eye of Rikidozan, who scouted him into wrestling. On 30 September 1960, alongside Giant Baba, he stepped into the world of pro wrestling and they made their debuts. In 1962 he had changed his name to 'Antonio Inoki'.

After having left the wrestling industry for a short and while and then returning, he married his first wife in 1971, and proceeded to form New Japan Pro Wrestling in 1972. He and Giant Baba double-handedly built the wrestling industry in Japan from that point forward, paving the way for both major domestic and international success.

In 1989, he turned into a politician and was successfully elected into Japan's House of Councillors. It was the first time that a wrestler had turned into a politician in Japan. Some of his legendary achievements include negotiating the release of 41 captive Japanese hostages in Iraq, and producing the most attended sporting event in history in North Korea to help bridge relations between North Korea and Japan.

The legendary figure had turned ill over the past two years, with complications from hip surgery that has resulted in ailing health, drastic weight loss and the necessary use of a wheelchair.

It’s very interesting to watch Coal Miner’s Daughter with Sissy Spacek, as to the best of my limited knowledge it sets the blueprint for the music biopic.  Except it came out 40 years before the artist featured died.

Unprepared to deal with sudden success, falls into addiction, crawls out, beloved.  You’ve seen it 20 times before.

Still a good movie, though.

Yeah this one was bad timing. I just showed my daughter Buffy the Vampire Slayer and she yelled at the TV "Why won't he just die!" The urge to not jokingly blame her is strong.

The Pee Wee movies were a big part of my childhood. I didn't care much for the show. It seemed like everything he did outside of his PW persona was excellent - his role in Gotham was amazing.
