Colbert said tonight that he wished he were as good as Norm MacDonald so he could make a joke about the death of Norm MacDonald. 

Can we get a consensus as how we are spelling his last name FFS? My OCD is killing me.

Holy motherfucking fucking fuck. 

I just remembered (because it's on TV) that Norm was (is) Pigeon on Mike Tyson's Mysteries. 

And he probably was through his whole diagnosis. 

That is definitely food for thought. And laughs, thankfully.

I totally forgot that she was Alan Thicke's mom on Growing Pains until I just skimmed her IMDB (maybe because it was easier to remember Gordon Jump playing Joanna Kerns dad)

From Criterion:

Quote

We are saddened to announce the passing of a giant of American cinema, Melvin Van Peebles, who died last night, at home with family, at the age of 89. In an unparalleled career, Van Peebles made an indelible mark on the international cultural landscape. He will be deeply missed.

Frankly, I just feel bad after watching this. It's long, poorly shot, and negative. The last shot is like the evil version of Pink Flamingos. I understand what Melvin was up to, trying to make a film that was Black Revolutionary, but that was just done improperly to my taste. All the same, despite my thoughts, he did what he did and it is a triumph.

We would be remiss if we did not mention that Yamamoto also directed episodes of Astro Boy and Kimba the White Lion.

He also served as the screenwriter for Space Battleship Yamato.

RIP.

RIP Tommy Kirk, age 79. 

Child actor for things like Old Yeller and the Shaggy Dog and later beach movies as a teen. 

MSTies know him for Village of the Giants and Catalins Caper.

I think I would have mentioned Swiss Family Robinson here before Shaggy Dog or beach movies ?

I just mentioned what i saw in the online blurb, except the MST stuff.

i had totally forgotten Walt Disney personally fired him when he found out Tommy was gay. And then Walt had to hire him back after Merlin Jones made so much money they had to make a sequel.
