the vynsane asylum

D'Wayne Wiggins of Tony Toni Toné.

Fuck cancer.

Brian James, original guitarist for the Damned and writer of "New Rose," usually considered the first punk single, 70. Cause of death not public yet, but I'm honestly surprised any 70s punk icon made it to 70, so there's that.

Skybound's new TF comics may suck, but they're doing a Kickstarter compendium of the original series. No word for sure what's going to be in it (I'd murder for G2, RG1, and Secrets & Lies to be included, though I doubt it). Well, no word except the entire UK series in proper reading order with t...

Saw BNW. Third best Cap movie, but, like DB said, Winter Soldier and Civil War are a HIGH bar. I quite liked it. It was nice to finally get a payoff for the Leader, and Tim Blake Nelson is always fun to watch. Giancarlo Esposito is probably the best damned villain actor alive. Anthony Mackie is just...

This is as good a place as any. I've been watching Get a Life. Damn, that show was ahead of its time. Too weird even for early Fox, but it's the kind of bonkers shit that would've thrived somewhere like Adult Swim. The DVD set is terrible mastering, but is the only way to watch it and is surprisingl...

He was also the Ghost of Christmas Past in Scrooged.

The New York Dolls only put out two albums, but they're phenomenal. Most people seem to prefer the first, self-titled one, but I think the second (Too Much Too Soon) is better.

David Johnansen, AKA Buster Poindexter, musician and actor, most notably the last surviving member of proto-punk/glam gods the New York Dolls

Joey Molland, last surviving member of Badfinger.

I'm noticing a trend. Let's make sure Paul and Ringo don't go on a rickety plane together....

It's not animated. It's not Batman. There's no DC TV thread. Suck my dick. This pic made me breathe harder than an image of two dudes should ever make a straight dude breathe. I was a bit more coy on FB, but I understand a friend of a friend working on the show tweeted (Is that still the word? Yes. ...

The background actor who played the blind man in Young Frankenstein. Now pretty much the entire cast is gone. Name was Gene something. Oh, he was also one of the most acclaimed actors of the 20th century. Cause of death still unrevealed. Given that he was 95, his wife was about 30 years younger than...

Roberta Flack, 88. Cause of death undisclosed, presumably killed softly by his song.

The wife and I watched Breakfast at Tiffany's probably about fifteen years ago. She's Asian. Needless to say, Mickey Rooney's character did not go over well. Even that aside, we were shocked at how popular that movie is. You feel a little sorry for Buddy Ebsen's character, partly because he's the on...

I disagree. Since Disney owns both, they should remake it with Muppets. I thought this before it became a viral meme. I know others who also came up with it independently. It just works so well, it's an obvious no-brainer. Carey Elwes (the only human) as the Grandfather Robin as Fred Savage Kermit a...

Cheers and $$$

Duh. I was thinking that was a few years later, but, yeah, the time would've been right.

The rest of the OG films. I saw 3 and 4 in theaters, and 5 and 6 on VHS shortly after they were released. I haven't watched them since (except maybe one viewing of 4 in the interrim). My opinions have changed quite a bit, partly because I'm older, partly because I have more context. The Search for S...

Sonic 2 . Not only was the first far, far better than it had any right to be, but the second is just as good. I wouldn't say better, but definitely just as good. I can live with adaptations straying so far from the source material when the finished product is so high quality and shows respect for t...
