drol 10,200 Posted November 30, 2023 Very surprised there are no Vijayakanth, Thanga Darlong, Alexander Mitta and Yury Solomin. Stafford is the classiest pick. Cranky old A-lister, in failing health for years and I completely missed he's in ICU. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This DP has no fame requirements and anyway the name I mentioned are leagues above some of those who were picked. Mitta and Solomin are among the most significant personalities of Soviet cinema. Ignorance is not a virtue to show, at all. 1 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So what was the point of a comment underlining the mentioned people were not "famous enough" in a a pool where there are no fame requirements? You choose people who are ill here, not people who are famous. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You choose people who are ill here, not people who are famous. I did not say they were "not famous enough". I responded to your comment that you were "very surprised" they were not mentioned. Perhaps other players are also not aware of those people? That's a good reason why they might not have been picked. Don't be so fucking rude. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gcreptile 10,296 Posted December 4, 2023 Heh, yeah, I expected an immediate death among all the talent. I knew it would be a battle for Ryan Minor, Shane MacGowan and Jimmy Carter - and that these would actually be the best names. But Ryan Minor NOW seems more like a "weeks left" hospice, not a "days left". And Jimmy didn't immediately die after the funeral (of course, he didn't). This makes all the other names better, maybe especially mine, but we'll see. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
