He was a superbike champ yet was killed while riding a bicycle in Italy, where he was for a race. That's kinda fuckered up irony right there.
The past two months have sucked for pro bike riders. Two pro cyclists have recently been hit and killed by cars while riding: Mike Hall & Michele Scarponi. Additionally, Chris Froome was forced off the road and had his bike run over by a road rage driver.
Roger Moore was my least favorite Bond; I want grit a la Daniel Craig or Timothy Dalton. But to Moore's immense credit, he had a sense of humor about himself to the point of parodying himself in The Cannonball Run, and was supportive of the franchise after he left. He seemed to be a first class human being. RIP.

Sad. You hear about character actors a lot , not character actresses. She mastered playing the naive, mousy, helium-voiced ditz.
I was slightly more upset about Glenne Headley than Batman. She played one my favorite recurring characters on ER.
Christopher "Fresh Kid Ice" Wong Won, a founding member of rap group 2 Live Crew, died Thursday, according to his agent. He was 53.
One of the nicest guys in Hollywood. Like Scorsese, he remembered every single person he worked with and had praise for every one of them. Night of the Living Dead is the greatest horror movie ever made. Even after 50 years it's power to chill people to the bone remains completely intact. It broke every rule and created the new ones. The touchstone horror movie for all time. And Dawn Of The Dead is every bit as classic.
