David Bowie, Prince, Gene Wilder, Alan Rickman, Muhammad Ali, Phife Dawg, Darwyn Cooke, Kenny Baker, Abe Vigoda, Glenn Frey, and now Steve Dillon all dead in the same year because the universe is a cruel heartless place ruled by a vengeful God who doesn't want us to have nice things or cool people. At least American Democracy seems to be clinging to the edge of the abyss by its fingernails. Never mind.

By Odin thats quiet a list of people. Loosing Rickman still stings for me. One of my favourite actors hands down

Yep. I just got back from seeing Doctor Strange (it was really great, exactly the movie I needed after this week) and the whole "reverse time to fix shit" spell seems really useful right about now.
Fuck this year.

Added to the list are Leonard Cohen, a true gentleman of song, and Gwen Ifill, a journalist the likes of which we have precious few. Seriously, fuck this year.
I swear, 2016, if you come anywhere near Ruth Bader Ginsburg or either surviving Beatle I will make it my personal mission to track you down and do all that stuff they describe in that one Wu-Tang song. Also, stay the fuck away from Wu-Tang Clan.

Consider what just happened in this country and what is likely to come, and then you realize that 2016 is shitty enough to ruin wanting 2016 to be over.

Added to list: Ron Glass (Shepherd Book from Firefly & Serenity).
2016 just keeps twisting the knife. No comment on Fidel Castro.

The kicks to the balls just keep coming. John Glenn, the first American to orbit the Earth and genuine badass (Google "John Glenn punches guy"), is dead.
If this year had a face I would punch it.

If 2016 had a physical form I would murder it in a cold merciless rage. And I don't believe in violence. That's how absolutely dogshit this year has been.

Carrie Fisher had a heart attack on an international flight today, and is in a Los Angeles hospital. Her condition is not good.

After the total lack of information, I was expecting it soon. Doesn't make it any less sad.

Me too. I was hoping for the best, but the few details we got about her heart attack didn't sound good at all. Generally, most fatal heart attacks kill you right away, but she was without a pulse for more than 10 minutes. When they said she was stable but didn't say anything more than that, I pretty much knew what to expect. A person can be categorized as "stable" but also be basically brain-dead. I just hope she didn't suffer, because dammit I loved her. Not just Princess Leia, but I loved Carrie Fisher.

She did have a dynamic personality and seemed pretty grounded.

Betty White is cool and all, but I'm more worried about Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

She died tonight. Her son said "She wanted to be with Carrie". I can't imagine what the last week has been like for that family.

Bill committed 110% to everything he was in from Weird Science to Aliens to Near Dark to that one episode of Tales from the Crypt about robbing ice cream vendors to Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and everything in between. We'll always have what he's done, but I lament the awesome stuff he was still going to do.
Miguel voiced Vandal Savage in Young Justice, which is finally going back into production after four years. I also always wanted the chance to meet him and ask "Have you ever done a voiceover for a trailer for a movie in which you appeared."
Both of these guys were apparently super nice, too, and of course, had families, children.
