No shit, I've noticed that too. I'm not sure if it's just because I've been paying attention to that shit because of this thread, or if they really are dropping off fast....either way, I'm fine with it.

That's what I was just going to say. I mean, geez, there have been a truckload of famous people passing away here of late.

Maybe it's a new trend for the old-timers.....to get one more time in the spotlight....

You know what sucks though? I just got a Entertainment Weekly this week, and it had Katherine Hepburn on the cover. And now it's not hard to notice that with all these celebrities dying all over the place, there are going to be a ton of them who won't get much press about their deaths. I mean, in the same issue, Buddy Hackett got a half page memorial, and Hepburn got like....10 pages.

It's gotta suck being them....for more reasons than just being dead.

Who would have known this thread would need updated so soon? Sadly, it was announced today that beloved actor/tap dancer Gregory Hines has died of cancer. Star of screen and stage, he will be missed by all.

Fruitacious B · 08-11-2003, 04:26 AM

As sad as that must be, I have not a clue as to who that is.

the_butcher · 08-11-2003, 08:50 PM

Tap dancer...? Wow, that makes it so much worse...I'm crying as we speak.

Oh wait, no.

Schroeder · 08-12-2003, 03:25 AM

Okay, so maybe he wasn't a Humphrey Bogart, but look at all the movies he was in. Besides, he died of cancer, so cut him some slack.

Herb Brooks died. What's that? you don't know who Herb Brooks is either... you dumb, dumb bastards.

the_butcher · 08-12-2003, 05:31 AM

Alright, so out of that list you just made, I have heard of about 3 of those. However, the one movie that I have seen that he was in was "Muppets Take Manhattan". And I'm not ashamed.

Ugly Bastard · 08-12-2003, 10:14 AM

I must admit, I hadn't much of a clue who Gregory Hines was, but I did recognize his picture:

As for Herb Brooks, I knew of the man, and he's dead, and I'm fine with that.

Alpha · 08-12-2003, 03:19 PM

I ronically enough, Shroeder's list of movies Gregory Hines was in, most of those would be in my listing of top 50 movies of all time... Oh wait, they all suck, this guy must have been a shitty actor. Not to mention a bit queer, I'm sure all his boys from the hood are proud of this guy. The only time i remember seeing him was in a commercial about god knows what, I'm glad he's dead.

Orgazmo · 08-12-2003, 04:03 PM

I couldn't help but notice that Mr. Hines had a pleasure patch. He couldn't have been too bad...

ttbabe23 · 08-12-2003, 06:49 PM

I think he even mad a few appearances on will and grace but i am not totally sure. I read about his death on WNDU.com the other night

Schroeder · 08-13-2003, 03:28 AM

Oh Alpha, you'll burn for saying stuff like that.

StabMaster Arson · 08-23-2003, 06:20 AM

Wesley Willis died August 21st at approximately 9pm. He was 40 years old.

If you don't know who he was go here

even if you don't like his music, you can't deny that he was original.

Wesley was a true inspiration to me and many other people. I know he wasn't the most articulate, smart, talented, or sane, he truly will be missed.

silver and cold · 08-23-2003, 11:28 PM

Wesley was a good man!

StDx · 08-24-2003, 03:12 AM

Has anyone else on here ever gotten a headbutt from that big fucker? That's an experience you won't soon forget. He was a good man.

Wesley is truly a hero in my eyes. He was very funny and I wish I could have met him before his passing.

Combat Chuck · 08-31-2003, 01:13 AM

I have to say that I might be the only one who knew exactly who Gregory Hines was and also mourned his passing.

In the world of dance and entertainment, you could not find more talented, hard-working, and plain fucking generous a person than Mr. Hines.

You don't have to fucking be a dancer to realize that this guy was the shit. He paved the way for African American dancers, which is why we have fucking amazing acts like Savian Glover and Tap Dogs.

It saddens me to see that not alot of people on these boards knew who he was. It really saddens me.

Jesus Chrystler · 08-31-2003, 06:22 AM

I'm sorry, but fuck gregory hines, we're talking about Wesley motherfuckin Willis.
These two gentlemen weren't even in the same category. Wes was the type of guy that would do anything for you... no matter who you were. One of my friends from west virginia met him at a show and told him that he didn't have any of his cd's but next time he came to town he could stay at his place. A couple weeks later he got a call from Wes saying that he was going to take the earliest flight to west virginia to come and see him... he didn't have a show there but he dropped off about 10 cd's and few pieces of his artwork. Would gregory hines do that for you?
