I think that this is unbelievable that you could be this rude about a man's passing let alone one who did so much for our community. Shame on you! Maybe when you pass on to that great news desk in hell we can laugh at your passing as well.

Posted On: Wednesday, Jan. 14 2009 @ 11:16AMDonna: Knowing Matt, I think his cold corpse would be insulted if we didn't plaster it with Dick Nixon stickers.
Brian: Slag off. We laugh at the recently deceased all the time—look through the archives for our reminisces of Harold Ezell, Carl Karcher, and Pope John Paul II if you don't believe me.
Posted On: Wednesday, Jan. 14 2009 @ 11:20AMGlad you asked, Donna and Brian. Here's a fave from my old A Clockwork Orange print column:
May 2, 1997 James Edwards Sr.—the Newport Beach multimillionaire who put the "mega" in movie megaplexes—died on April 26 at age 90. Despite what you've heard, the founder of the nation's 15th-largest theater chain was not interred in a popcorn tub with extra-hot butter and remembered at services on April 30 at 11 a.m., 1, 3, 5, 7 and 9 p.m. However, to memorialize his passing, all Edwards Theaters will go dark at the beginning of each screening from now on.

Gustavo, I don't know if you heard the news, but Ricardo Montalban (aka Mr. Roarke on "Fantasy Island" & Khan on "Star Trek), has died.
