I've seen the show a couple times, but that humor escapes me. But c'mon... that can't be the same guy!

What, no love for Harry? lol

Thank God Ron Jeremy lived , i don't think i could of taken 2 legendary porn stars dying within weeks of each other.

Oh, I don't know about that. But, I hadn't heard anything about him in ages; from what I remember, he left the porn business years ago and started a new life for himself. He'd been out of the public eye for quite a long time.




You can rest easy. He appears to be looking a lot better lately.

Boy, there's a name that takes me back! One of those "Golden Age" bodybuilders from a time when the word "steroid" was unknown.

If I'm not mistaken, I believe SC knew him back in the day.

Film critic Roger Ebert has passed away at age 70

http://news.blogs.cnn.com/2013/04/04/film-critic-roger-ebert-dies/

Wow, I just read yesterday that his cancer came back and now today he's dead? Poor guy. I really felt sorry for him. Losing his jaw, his cancer really really left him unrecognizable. I use to watch Siskel/Ebert a long time ago. Sorry to hear it. RIP

I didn't even knew his cancer came back. It's just sad that years ago Siskel died from a long battle with brain cancer, and now Ebert. I really hope a cure is found.

Just the other day Ebert announced he was semi-retiring from reviewing movies because of a cancer he needed to get operated.

This really bums me out. Loved his old show with Gene Siskel back in the day, they (along with Ebert's reviews) help expand my cinema vocabulary beyond mainstream popcorn into foreign and arthouse movies. Alot of cinemaphiles today are really feeling his loss hard. Always admired how enthusiastic he was about movies, popcorn and arthouse. In general not elitist or populist, a lesson that most movie critics (professional and on-line amateurs) need to learn badly.

If there is an afterlife after all, hopefully he and Siskel are getting caught up on the movies they both didn't get to debate since Siskel died. Hopefully they'll argue too.

Very sad news RIP Roger Ebert!

What happen to the other guy

Siskel died ages ago, i'm not sure when exactly though.

I remember there was some nationwide scandal between the two of them being gay or something awhile ago

Did they want to get married?

I honestly think that would be the opposite. It seemed like they hated each other when they would be on a talk show or anything you can find that wasn't there show. Then again, they did fight like a married couple.

I am incredibly saddened by this news. I didn't always agree with his reviews, but he told it like it is, and I respected the hell out of him for it. The world of cinema has lost an icon. Rest in peace.

There have been a bunch of passings recently that should be noted. Perhaps I'm showing my age, but nevertheless:

Actor Milo O'Shea died April 2 at age 86. He appeared in Ulysses, Mass Appeal, Theatre of Blood, The Angel Levine and many other films.

Artist Bob Clarke died March 31 at age 87. If you were around for Mad Magazine's "Golden Age," then you would certainly know the name.

On the subject of artists, Carmine Infantino died April 4 at age 87. He was an illustrator of Batman and The Flash back in the 1960's, as well as being an editor for DC Comics.

Ruth Prawer Jhabvala died April 3 at age 85. She was a noted novelist and screenwriter (Howard's End, A Room With A View).

Spanish film director Jesús Franco (aka Jess Franco and many other pseudonyms) died April 2 at the age of 82. Probably one of the worst directors in the history of low-budget and exploitation film (IMO), he made a number of films with Christopher Lee, including several later entries in the "Fu Manchu" series, as well as the 1970 film Count Dracula (arguably one of his best).

And finally, if you live (or have lived) in the NYC area, and are of a certain age, then you may be familiar with the name of Bob Teague, who was (in the 1960's) one of the very first African-American news anchors on television. He worked for NBC for many years. He died on March 28, at age 84.

RIP to all.

Matthew Warren, the youngest son of Evangelical Minister Rick Warren, committed suicide as a result of a battle with depression.

Wow, I see so many people have her on their list, but I didn't expect this:

I think the working class people of the 80's will be celebrating this day...

Exactly what i was thinking but i wasn't alive when she was PM. RIP

But Meryl Streep's okay, right?

They are making her out to be some kind of hero, but she was hated in the North of England as she privatized a lot of companies and made a lot of people jobless..

It is a big story here today in the U.S. Everyone is covering it.
