Since this blog has been semi-retired I've been receiving a lot of spam comments buried in old posts. Until my blog is active again, all comments will be moderated. If you post a comment with a spammy link in it, it will be deleted. There's no point to post your backlinks here. If you're an up and coming blogger-- try to go about commenting and backlinks the right way. Don't spam blogs with your links and unrelated comments. It just looks desperate.
For everyone else--please feel free to leave your comments. I respond to each and every one of them, even when people disagree with me! If I happen to miss one, send me a tweet at @aspaceblogyssey. Please note this blog does not receive anonymous comments. You have to be registered with a service to comment here (i.e. Google, Wordpress, or OpenID). NO SPAMMERS! If you spam me your comment will be deleted and you will be reported to Google for spam. Also, I reserve the right to delete your comment if you troll me. I have no problem with someone who disagrees with me, but trolling comments will be deleted without response. No trolls will be fed here.
Very sad. Way too young.
ReplyDeleteYes, he was only 46. Too soon. Just too soon.
ReplyDelete... no words.
ReplyDeleteLove his work.
ReplyDeleteHe will be missed.
Very nice tribute. Such a sad end to a truly remarkable career.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you mentioned that the reason for his passing doesn't matter. Nobody has the right to talk about person's struggles like they know what happened and people tend to forget that addiction is a disease.
ReplyDeleteSuch a horrible loss for movie world, he was one of the best.
Jeremy-- I agree. It was hard to believe.
ReplyDeleteDavid-- Yes, yes he will!
Keith-- Thanks. He had an amazing career and he will be missed.
Sati-- Thanks. I have been getting really irritated with people who keep talking about how he died and thus he doesn't deserve any sympathy. The man was sober for 23 years. He was struggling with addiction. I struggle with other things so does everyone else. Why do people feel they have the right to judge him?
He very much elevated the profile of anything he starred in, even if it wasn't that good. The point is that some of his film choices may have seemed beneath him, but he was never short of fantastic in them.
ReplyDeleteOne the best of his generation. Such a great loss.
A brilliant actor for sure Ms. Mariah. I've never seen someone that can become as big or as small as he needed to be to fit a role. A sad loss and I hope they convict the dealers who supplied him.
