"He's dead, Jim" - The 20XX Death Thread

While I didn't think so when the movie came out, I can now verify that Kevin's mom was pretty hot.



Summon PAC!

RIP Catherine. I was a big fan of SCTV when I was a kid. What an amazing group of comic talent.

Not old enough to die! Not just old.

Apologies PAC, and any of you seasoned others who are approaching those years.

I spent 6 months in the 70s one year. '79, to be exact.

Same, but in utero.

There was a time when the 70s seemed really old. Now that I'm 73, they still do. I hope some of you will be able to experience them.

Catherine O’Hara.

As a kid who strongly identified with the plight of Kevin McCallister, I always sort of side eyed her (Schitt’s Creek didn’t really help).

Oh wow. I knew she wasn't young but I didn't think of her as that old.

I loved her in Schitt's Creek and the three mockumentaries. She had true talent.

Agreed. She was amazing in all of those. Such great chemistry with Eugene Levy.

This makes me sad. RIP

John Brodie

The first '9er QB I remember. Great Athlete - after retiring from the NFL went on to play professional golf on the senior tour.

This is quite the byline:

Renfrew Christie Dies at 76; Sabotaged Racist Regime’s Nuclear Program


He played a key role in ending apartheid South Africa’s secret weapons program in the 1980s by helping the African National Congress bomb critical facilities.

Despite his weird and racist takes in recent years, Adams was a very funny and often insightful cartoonist. He lived much of his adult life and died here in Pleasanton (CJF and I dined at his restaurant here). The obvious lesson is to stay on top of your PSA level and to get real medical help sooner rather than later. Although my prostate cancer was fairly advanced within the prostate, it apparently hadn't metastasized, and the treatment regimen i chose has resulted in a PSA of <0.1. I continue to be reassured that I won't die from prostate cancer (so many other options...).

Yes, that he initially treated with Ivermectin instead of radiation and chemo. He then turned to those medically-sound treatments when the cancer had metastasized to a point that it was incurable.

Ah, the Steve Jobs route.

[Donuthole]

Didn’t that dude die of metastatic prostate cancer?
