Die Hard on BluRay tonight then.

RIP

Really sad. He had such a brilliant voice, chewed every syllable with relish. Must have been a dream as a screenwriter to hear him speak your dialogue. RIP.

Very sad. Bowie, and now Rickman. Two gems, both will be missed. :'(

But thanks for the memories.

...both aged 69 as well. Is this the '27 Club' for those performers that pass the age of 27?

EDIT: Weirdly, Lemmy (from Motorhead) had turned 70 by 4 days when he died a few weeks back...

Rickman too? Say it ain't so.

Always did like the guy. Always made me smile. He did DeValera better than anyone else could. Damn shame. A fine actor, as good as they get.

R.I.P.

Now, nobody else that I like die anytime soon. I can't take it. I shall be listening to Staying Alive by the Bee Gees in amongst my Bowie albums. Ironically most of them are dead too. If Travolta dies soon, I shall take it as a personal slight.

Very sad, indeed, as this guy was a class act.

Loved Rickman. Shame. May he RIP.

I often quote him from Die Hard - "oh no, you're one of them". - Bill Clay.
