Very sad to hear this news today. I was a lurker here in the early to mid-00's and only talked with Dean a few times in various threads- but he seemed like such a solid guy and talented writer. Many have mentioned how he shaped their opinions on movies, music, wrestling, etc. I seem to recall a thread about Blade Runner where he talked about watching it repeatedly while living on a friend's couch and the profound impact it had him. It led me to watch it and become one of my all-time favorites too. A small thing for sure but for some reason it stands out in my mind. I so glad to see the outpouring of support and it speaks to how influential DVDVR was in the early days of the internet. Hopefully all of his words won't be lost like "tears in rain." RIP~!
