Aww man! Both Nakajima and Hashimoto pass during the same year? That's tragic. He was simply amazing portraying the vengeful giant god. His eyes alone, which you could see through the suit, could chill you.

R.I.P. Hashimoto-san :cry:

Not really a "celebrity celebrity" but, The Angry Grandpa on YouTube passed away yesterday. He was my favorite Youtuber, and I would always binge-listen to his videos while doing other things. Such a shame that we lost him, but he has been in awful shape the past few months:

https://m.youtube.com/watch?t=1s&v=t5_dSCu_mLY

It's weird... two major deaths have occurred days before Star Wars movies... My aunt passed a few days prior to The Force Awakens, and then Angry Grandpa passes a few days before The Last Jedi

Wow, I remember I used to watch his videos years ago. My heart sank seeing the condition he was in at the end of that video. :(

The Lion in Winter is an excellent piece of filmmaking. Every true fan of film should see it. Some of Peter O'Toole and Katherine Hepburn's best work, EVER! Rest in Peace, Mr. Harvey...

Goddammit, all my favorite musicians are going one by one and Warrel Danes death was a complete shock and so random. Going to miss Sancutary and of course his more well known work Nevermore.... wish I had the chance to see you live Warrel and listen to your beautiful voice, R.I.P....
