Re: The official dead celebrity thread
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.GigaBowserG wrote:Chikara Hashimoto, also known as Riki Hashimoto, the suit actor for Daimajin, has passed away ):

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:

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.

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!
