I heard the first film was very good. I suppose I should Netflix it.

:-)

Ya know, I do watch those new-fangled movies, talkies.
I even watch color films, too.

I think Return of the Living Dead is a great zombie flick.

In a related gripe, news organizations really need to be careful how they introduce non-death news pieces for people not generally in the news. NPR just did this:

Charles Gibson, 34-year veteran of ABC news, two-time host of Good Morning America and most recently anchor of World News...retired today.

Of course, up to the end there I assumed he'd died. That's happened to me a couple times recently. "Mel Brooks, who started his career as a writer on the Sid Caesar show and hit sitcoms and followed that up with a successful career making satirical movies today...received a Kennedy Center Honor."

The tip off with NPR is obits usually start with something along the lines of, "In sadder news today..."

Only 32 - that's very sad. Just a kid, really. I enjoyed her characterization of Luanne on King of the Hill quite a lot, but haven't seen much of her other work.

Wow!
WTF?
I thought she was pretty talented. Loved her in Clueless, Sin City and as Luann. Frick. I hope they don't find out it's drugs or some sh!t like that.
Bummer!

Rumors were she was anorexic.

I liked her work. Most people would know her as Luanne Platt in King of the Hill. I also enjoyed her work in 8 Mile.

God I hope she didn't die of anything related to anorexia. I don't think I could survive another societal bout of self-flagellation over eating disorders.
