Here is the Graph updated for Goddard I said we might scrape double figures if we had a busy final third. Looking like we might!

4 hits in about a month or so. After what 4 months without one

Good pick by the Cmme. A few rumours of ill health last year iirc but nothing solid.

12 days later, 2 hits later, neither on this shortlist! I'm good at this! Either one massive jinx, or @Gooseberry Crumble bowel movements in action.

Among the many people showing up to pay tribute to the Queen, Dame Joan Bakewell appeared on Channel 4. She is 89 nowadays but looks and sounds two decades younger.

Mikizo Ueda dead at 112. More or less in a month we'll also know if the Chinese are still alive. Doubt the three of them are.

Friday Night Dinner is bound to get him lots of press too. He was in the tenth anniversary documentary last year.

Just in case it hasn't been noticed, Jack Ging QO: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-11204909/Jack-Ging-character-actor-best-known-roles-Mannix-Team-Riptide-passes-away-90.html @Death Impends; @gcreptile

Everything in cinema changed after Breathless, and I do mean EVERYTHING. Every single frame of modern cinema was inspired more or less by Godard et companie. Au revoir.

FB post announcing the death of U.S. Army Lieutenant General David E. Grange Jr. (wiki), aged 97.

Update: He has died. Only aged 30, it seems a disturbing trend continues.... Had a couple songs hit the U.S Charts, noteworthy to the younger crowd.

Swiss film director Alain Tanner, dead aged 92. This is one of those occurrences where the obit-writer predeceased the subject of the obit.

BBC obit: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-62886470

Jean-Luc Godard a hit for me in this pool.

Some little indication on Twitter that long term DDP pick Harry Landis has died aged 90. Anything else elsewhere?

There's a phrase that we have in my generation: Too long, didn't read.

I must admit I find it odd that people across the country are prepared to stand in Queue that is up to a mile long for upwards of 12 hours to essentially nod at a coffin that they can’t even properly go up to for a woman who probably 99.9% of them don’t really know and have never met. I can understand the History part of it to a point I suppose but not to a Queue for that long but annoys me how they make out the Queen and the Royals have done so much for us and the country, really they haven’t done that badly out of it they live a life of luxury the majority of us can only dream of with various Castles scattered around the country in large parts paid for by the British people through our taxes.Also they have more money than we can ever dream off and for years didn’t even pay taxes whilst there “Subjects”/ people struggling to eat and survive all the while the Queen is paying of her son’s victim to the tune of £12 million pounds so he doesn’t go to prison a luxury we will never have. They also say the Queen and Royal family work so hard doing banquets etc for heads of states etc no their staff do they just turn up and greet them for a few hours, don’t the majority of us work hard all our lives for peanuts the Royals do the bare minimum for what they get yet we are supposed to be grateful for it, I’m sure the Queen was a nice lady but it all seems too much for me especially standing in a Queue for hours, just strange for me.

Lowry Mays, the businessman and co-founder of the mass media company Clear Channel Communications Inc, died at 87 years: https://today.tamu.edu/2022/09/12/lowry-mays-texas-am-graduate-and-business-school-namesake-dies-at-87/

Don't worry... I think it means we have good taste.

If I understood correctly, each country only gets one representative.
