Anyways that's enough of "is this raging bigotry anything remotely resembling a coherent ideology" for one thread

NOT DEAD. I'm not Thatcher or tracy. Hackman made a new public appearance and based on the photos he looks to have physically declined in the past 12 months which wouldn't be that surprising. He's 94, after all.

But it was clearly doomed from early on here. Still a fair few songs in contention, though.

Gonna put this in the thread it belongs. Young actor. Sad. I've seen him in a few things, have a feeling he would have became a regular in Hollywood. RIP.

Last day of the month. Of the currently advancing players, I haven't yet received teams by @wannamaker @MariNisia @msc @Annami @Banana @CalebH @DevonDeathTrip @Sir Creep @max_bossetti

Former US Vice President Al Gore is 76 today as is American actress Rhea Perlman. Apologies but I haven't got any way of uploading images.

Richard Chamberlain, Shirley Jones, and Carlo Rubbia are all 90 today. Photo Credits: Markus Pössel (user name: Mapos) for Carlo Rubbia and public domain for Richard Chamberlain and Shirley Jones.

I don’t see any soaps in his filmography. Just rushing to be the first person to post the news?

Tim McGovern, who received a Special Achievement Oscar for the visual effects in the 1990 sci-fi classic Total Recall,' has died. He was 68. https://variety.com/2024/film/news/tim-mcgovern-dead-vfx-total-recall-1235956282/

Gordon Cowans was at Villa tonight

Television actor Chance Perdomo, who exploded on the scene for his role as Ambrose Spellman on Netflix's Chilling Adventure of Sabrina, died at 27 years: https://www.thewrap.com/chance-perdomo-dead/ One of his first major roles was as Jerome in the TV movie Killed By My Debt.

Unusual way of referring to the queen, but whatever floats your boat.

Those photos could easily go in the thread devoted to last image before death. Sad to say, 2025 seems like a long shot.

Hospitalised .

First time I've thought this: he has to go on my list next year if he makes it. He's looking VERY gaunt now. In those pics of him coming out of the convenience store, look at his right arm below the elbow. It's like skeletal. And the discoloration not only on his hands/wrists/arms but his face too. I suppose it's good that he can still stand on his own, albeit with the cane and his wife's assistance coming down those steps at the restaurant, but he does not look like a healthy person here, not even at his age. But I know, he's 94. He's alive and that's better than the alternative, I suppose, as long as he's not suffering.

Just in case I get a late hit to win I sent in an April Cup team. I offer my conditional congratulations to my esteemed opponent Caleb H and wish you good luck in the next round.

Fighting for her life due to her ongoing prison sentence.

Seriously, this is getting beyond a joke now

I've been advised against it my entire childhood but I'd be willing to get a train down to London to meet a bunch of strangers I've met over the internet, who are more than likely triple my age.

Three more films seen in recent weeks: Wicked Little Letters - very enjoyable, Jessie Buckley is always worth watching and Olivia Colman was her usual self. Very sweary, and you'll see the twist coming a mile off but a classic British caper trying to catch the culprit. And it seems a decent chunk of it is true, more than I thought would be when watching it. Bob Marley: One Love - don't know much about the man himself in all honesty, so was interesting to watch. Plot was quite vague and it wasn't the most engaging biopic I've ever seen, felt somewhat like it was just made to cash in on the Bohemian Rhapsody/Rocketman/Whitney Houston bandwagon. There's a better film in there to be made I think. Performances were good though from the leading couple. Zone of Interest - saw it last night, really unsettling watch but well worth it if you get the chance. Possibly the most aural film I've ever seen (it completely deserved its Best Sound Oscar). Hard to watch this outwardly very normal family punctuated with subtle reminders of the horrors being committed. Plot was meandering, but it was much more a character study. Christian Friedel and Sandra Huller are superb. Still thinking about it. Still not got around to Dune 2, it's going to be around for ages and we've more pressing concerns with smaller releases that will disappear sooner.

She's not even 80. Could have another decade of this hospital hokey-cokey to go. I feel sorry for the hospital staff who probably groan every time she's readmitted. Where's Lucy Letby when you need her?

The Banshees of Inisherin. My disappointment cannot be overstated. I was expecting something along the lines of Waking Ned, dark comedy with gentle Irish humour. But this was horrible, depressing, and not credible. The actors were good, as was the scenery, but there was precious little humour and not much going on. Very repetitive. And inexplicably gruesome. Bafflingly it got loads of Oscar nominations, and justly won none.
