;)

Heh, I had a major crush on him, too. Of course, same with Kurt Russell. :D

RIP James.

His Godmother was Lillian Gish. Dammit, I had him on my list of people to contact to see if he had any memories of Dorothy Gish.

I was so in love with Kurt Russell when I was a kid. In fact, I insisted that my parents change my name to "Dexter" after seeing The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes. Tho, I'm glad I'm not a "Dexter" right now. Although, I hear the show of the same name is great.

This is news from over two months ago, but I missed it. The innovative and unique anime director Satoshi Kon died in August. Sometimes referred to as the anime director for people who don't like anime, he chose unconventional stories and genres to work in. Perfect Blue, Tokyo Godfathers, Millennium Actress, Paprika, the series Paranoia Agent - they are all good cinema and worth seeking out.

Satoshi Kon wrote a fairly long note when he knew he was dying.

It's translated here. Absolutely worth reading.

I'll 2nd that. I would hope to meet my end with such a clear bit of mind left.

Maurice "The Enforcer" Lucas has passed.

Quote:

Former Blazers center and NBA Hall of Famer Bill Walton recently called Lucas "the greatest Portland Trail Blazer of all time," and he named his son, Luke Walton, after Lucas.

Quote:

Lucas began his career in the ABA, but was drafted by Portland when the league folded. After a four-year stint in Portland, Lucas went on to play for the New Jersey Nets, New York Knicks, Phoenix Suns, Los Angeles Lakers and Seattle SuperSonics. He then closed his career in Portland in 1988, and shifted into an assistant coaching role the following season.

More recently, Lucas served as an assistant coach under Blazers head coach Nate McMillan, starting in 2005. He primarily focused on developing Portland's big men both physically and mentally, calling on his playing experience to tutor players like LaMarcus Aldridge and Greg Oden. Cancer forced him from the bench multiple times, and Lucas was unable to return for the 2010-2011 season.
