Deaths / RIP

[Deadpriest]

I hanged myself (I passed out then came round, sorry) comfortably off a door handle, just had to take into my head that breathing was just another thing in my life that I was denied and would just have to suffer through.

That doesn't sound very comfortable.

I only explained half, sorry. The length of rope was such that I could sit with with it closing off my trachea and jugular, without really being suspended by it, if that makes sense? Plus I passed out very quickly.

The word 'snug' springs to mind.

Harry Dean Stanton

actor known for his roles in "Twin Peaks," "Big Love," "Pretty in Pink" and "Repo Man."

All his scenes in Twin Peaks season 3 were wonderful. Poignant and powerful.

You forgot Paris Texas

Harry Dean Stanton was also in Alien, Kelly's Heroes, Up in Smoke, Cool Hand Luke, Christine, Pat Garrett & Billy the Kid, Escape from New York and a shitload more!

In a few years, none of the 'Greats' in film will be left...

"Stanton... Ruminating about death in a 2013 interview in The New Yorker, he said, "When you're deep asleep and not dreaming, where the fuck are you? There's total blackness, it's nothing, right? So I'm hoping that's what death is, that it's all gonna go. I don't want to deal with any consciousness afterward."

Kirk Douglas still lives, but it looks like he's already in the stage of mummification.

[Soloman Tump]

He was great in the recent Twin Peaks series. The scene with the hit and run was stone cold.

I discovered him with Alien.

[Rhan-Tegoth]

I didn't know he was in Godfather II, amazing!



Just went through my head that he had the tendency to die horrible deaths in his movies, I mean Alien, Wild At Heart, Escape from NY....poor him. I forgot what happened to him in Repoman though.

'Raging Bull' Jake LaMotta


It's been a long time since I watched the Scorcese movie with Robert de Niro as LaMotta, so I don't remember much about it. Should rewatch it.

This quote popped up yesterday:
