News of Bill Paxton hit me really hard. I just so happened to be wearing my Game Over Man t-shirt to work that day and someone messaged me the news as I was driving to work. I didn't think I could make it through the work day. Ever since I was a kid Hudson's been my favorite character of my favorite movie and I did not expect we'd lose him anytime soon.

The REAL King of Rock and Roll, Chuck Berry died today. Ninety years is a good long life, but it doesn't really suck any less to lose a legend.

And Bernie Wrightson died, too. I saw him at Comic Con in San Diego last year and the year before, too, and I could have gotten him to sign one of the badass Swamp Thing prints he was selling or even sketch him, which I could cherish until I die, but I didn't because I don't know why now and FUCK!

And the hits keep on coming. My mom had to put the family dog to sleep this morning because he was in such bad shape. Pretty damn shocked he lived this long to be honest since he was almost 16 years old, blind and deaf, had to pee every 5 mins, if it's possible for a dog to do so had dementia because he looked lost and confused all the time, had trouble getting around, and after my dad died last October I kind of expected him to grieve himself to death long before now.
We weren't exactly the best of buds but I'd be lying if I said it doesn't bother me but at least he isn't suffering or anything now.

I know for a fact that four legged pals can have dementia. My cat Steve, who died about 12 years ago clearly seemed to have it (poor little guy seemed to get confused very easily and just went to the bathroom wherever in that last year) and my mother's dog is actually on chewable liver-flavored dementia medication, and she damn well needs it (night and day difference before and after) Sucks to lose a furry buddy.

I thought so but no one's ever been able to confirm it. And yes it does. My buddy told me earlier that his mom had to put down her dog that she's had since we were kids last week.
Man what a fucking day.

I was 12 and just getting into rock music when grunge was at its peak in the early 90s. The big bands were the Seattle Four (Nirvana, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, and Alice In Chains) and Stone Temple Pilots. Of those five bands, four of the lead singers are dead, two suicides and two overdoses. Only Eddie Vedder is left, and thankfully he appears healthy and happy.
And of those five bands, Chris Cornell had the best voice, hands down. He was versatile as hell.

Add Sir Roger Moore to the list.
He was never my favorite 007, but he carried the license to kill longer than any other actor in the role.

It's a role he probably held onto about four or five years too long. In View to a Kill he doesn't come across as suave and charming, but more like a dirty old creep. He also made those weird kinda racist comments about Idris Elba as a possible Bond. Still, a damn shame he passed, but he did live a good long life.

The only Bond movies I haven't seen are most of the Roger Moore ones. I've seen Live and Let Die (decent, but not great), The Man With the Golden Gun (ridiculous plot saved by Christopher Lee being awesome), and Moonraker (just plain terrible).
But still, he played Bond for 13 years. That's longer than anyone else, unless Daniel Craig signs up for one more and it doesn't come out til 2019 in which case they'll be tied.

The only real saving grace in View to a Kill is Christopher Walken as the villain. It's s very silly movie , and Moore was so obviously past his prime, but it's kind of worth watching for Walken alone, because he's so damn good at being bad. It's also one of only a handful of Bond movies to take place primarily in the United States, for whatever that's worth.

He's Wifespar's favorite Bond. But, yeah, his stuntman/stand-in probably spent more time in front of the camera than he did in View to a Kill. I don't blame him for the silliness of most of his Bond movies.
He did some great philanthropic work for children, for which he was knighted.

Shit. I saw him next to Rick Veitch at a con last year, too and also could have had him sign my Swamp Thing trade. But it wasn't his table, he looked like he was off, and it was closing time. Even though, I asked Rick Veitch for his signature and got it.

I woke up yesterday to find out Glenne Headley had died. Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, Dick Tracy, 2 Days in the Valley, ER back when it was good. There was a while when I was in love with that woman.
