Found one Spanish news article: https://www.20minutos.es/cinemania/noti ... s-5090191/

Wait until North America wakes up, then there'll probably be something out.

Re Clarence Gilyard, personally this is the line I remember, a band even did a song with the same title:



Very strangely memorable.

Paul Vecchiali, 92

[St. Gloede]

Paul Vecchiali is an excellent director, and a master at creating stunning and intriguing films from next to no budget whatsoever.

Not seen his more recent films, but I see he has a brand new one (marked as 2022 but no ratings yet): https://www.imdb.com/title/tt18291508/ impressive he was working until the end.

[beavis]

ooh this is sad news, I had already planned to make him my focus this year and in next months France challenge.
It's not my style to check out the work of artists (only) when they die, but in this case it's a coincidence, that just is what it is and has to be then

RIP. Amazing that he lived as long as he did, given the way he lived his life. Certainly one of the greatest singers in rock history - I feel very lucky that I got to see CSN live once (no Y on that tour alas), though I don't remember it being a particularly remarkable show.

She was great in the best George Lucas film. RIP.

[Good_Will_Harding]

This might be common knowledge, but I only just found out today that she auditioned for Princess Leia.



Of course Carrie Fisher was wonderful, but I am curious as to how she would've fared in the franchise.

[Ebbywebby]

I saw "The First Nudie Musical" about a month ago....check out that curiosity. Williams shows no flesh, but you do get to hear her use some salty language and that's fun.

Geza Morcsanyi, 70

Hungarian actor, publisher, and writer. This is nearly a month late. I only noticed Morcsanyi's death because I just saw On Body and Soul, one of only two movies he appeared in.

Not exactly film related, but...



State funeral. National day of mourning.

Have you already snoped this? A quick google search leads me to believe this image is fabricated. What source had you had it from?

Spoiler

[Good_Will_Harding]

Oof, looks like I'm an easy mark

[Torgo]

Just seeing the carpet image made me smile a bit, so whatever was the goal here worked for me

I have been putting off that movie for years because I'm worried it'll be too harsh for me, but it's been high on my watchlist for all that time. Maybe this is enough of a reason to finally sit down and watch it. I know it's inevitable, but it will be strange to me when there are no more survivors left to tell first-hand of their experiences in WWII.
