The Stephen King Message board.

This is tough.

BevVincent

Yeah -- the end of an era.

Notaro

We're all still here, we pick up the flag and keep it flying.

Hedda Gabler

Yes.  Maybe someday we can get the band back together.

Definitely.

Carl Reiner dying was a great loss.  I just posted that picture in the Tweet thread too!  I know he was old, but you just don't expect it.  

Some people should get a hall pass when it comes to dying.  And some should get the E ticket and fast pass.

(if you know about E tickets, you are old).

Notaro

The Man With Two Brains and The Jerk are two of the funniest movies ever made. Oh God! and All Of Me had some belly laughs as well. R.I.P. Carl Reiner.

BevVincent

If you get the chance, watch the Reiner documentary "If You're Not in the Obit, Eat Breakfast." It's terrific.

Netflix?

BevVincent

HBO, I think.

Hedda Gabler

Oh, I get that.  I'll do a search.

FlakeNoir

Bother, no HBO for us here.

Horrible news, another reaosn to hate Covid. 

GNTLGNT

.....sorry for the loss of Nick...he fought so hard, but the "machinery" just couldn't handle the multiple stressors anymore.....

GNTLGNT

....and being a DJ/Announcer....plus a fan for years....the loss of the CDB's namesake really tore another piece of an already shredded heart.....

Aww... this man was so great on MythBusters. R.I.P Grant Imahara. He was so young!  

Hedda Gabler

This is awful.  My kids and I loved watching MythBusters. We loved Grant.  I'm just sick for fans, friends and family, co-creators and co-workers.  What a terrible loss.

spideyman

RIP.  Too many are passing too soon.

Very sad to see about Grant from Mythbusters. So very young! 

Kelly Preston passed away yesterday too. From breast cancer. 

Hedda Gabler

I was surprised about Kelly too.  In this day and age and her celebrity -- I'm glad she was able to go out the way she wanted, privately.  But so sad.  

This is totally too soon, but the lesson to learn here is, don't have a relationship with John Travolta.

I was wondering, they are Scientologists, right? So they don't really go for medical treatment, do they? 

I am not trying to be disrespectful in any way at all, I just wondered to myself if she actually had any treatments...but even if not, like you said, she got to go as she wished.
