While I agree no one deserves that level of vitriol, Rush Limbaugh said some pretty horrible stuff over his lifetime regarding others health problems.
When Kurt Cobain died he said mad shit about him being a junkie. Then he became addicted to OxyContin. So fuck his hypocritical ass.
Shannon Doherty announced stage 4 breast cancer. It's kind of odd that these people are publicly announcing these illnesses, no?

I always regard him as the most underrated baseball player ever. The smoothest, most accurate throw ever on a shortstop with a sweet swing. He was VERY loved in Toronto.

Damn, I had no idea he was that old. I once had a dream that was uncannily similar to his novel "Atlantis Found." The weirdest thing is that I had the dream years before I ever read the book. Spoiler In my dream, aliens (that looked human) had infiltrated most of the world's governments, and were changing the earth's axis of rotation to melt the North Pole, and make the South Pole colder than it already is. They were doing this because the Earth's climate wasn't right for them. They had their headquarters on some abandoned, grounded oil tankers, and eventually their plans were discovered, and they were somehow defeated. It was revealed in their plans that they planned to eradicate human life once the change was completed. It was very similar to Cussler's book, except instead of aliens, it was Nazis.
If there was one businessman man who knew business, it was him. And he had a terrifying amount of power being in charge of that company, they basically have the keys to everything.
Uhh he slashed and burned every division that quarterly profit didn’t out do the last. Sold of the core of the company and pivoted the best known electronics and heavy industries manufacturer to a Finance company. They are barreling towards irrelevance. They didn’t call him Neutron Jack for nothing. Also James Lipton of Inside the Actors studio, hilariously parodied by Will Farrell, died. 93!
He’s an actor who seemed to get better at his job every decade. He was the knight in “The Seventh Sign”, he’s been in the game for a loooooooooooong time. An near Anthony Quinn-level of prolific, and a Sean Bean-level mortality rate for his characters. and Canadians will remember him best as the skull-crushing primeval Brewmeister Smith in “Strange Brew”. Killed with a cross-check and spearing penalty.
I met him in the early 90's when I was an extra in Needful Things. Super nice guy, even to annoying throngs of extras... he really revelled in his craft, and was very personable. And he totally made that movie.
I liked that film a lot more than others. I didn’t think the movie lived up to the book, but he was completely awesome and yes, the best part of it.
Max Von Sydow had a great run, but I'm still super bummed that he's gone because that guy made everything he was in better. I know Needful Things wasn't exactly a critical success but I liked it, and let's be frank - it isn't even close to the worst Stephen King adaptation. It's not even in the bottom half. I don't think it deserves its reputation. I don't know how I got so far in life not realizing that he did the voice work for Vigo the Carpathian in Ghostbusters 2. I mean, sure he's uncredited but his voice is also iconic. I found this out many years later when I was playing the Ghostbusters video game (where they improbably got basically the entire cast - including Bill Murray - but sans Sigourney and Rick Moranis back for voice work). In the game, there's kind of a cameo/easter egg where the Ghostbusters have the Vigo painting hanging around the firehouse and you can go up to it and talk to it, and Max Von Sydow just rattles off a bunch of random funny lines. I guess the producers of the game were like "hey I wonder if we can get him to do this" so they sent a guy with a recorder to track him down in Europe somewhere (Sweden? Switzerland? I forget) and he was totally cool with it.
