I was a fan of the American remake of Dragon but the gf loves the original.  She will be sad.

Gave Cruise a good beating in MI:GP.

I mean I like the song and all but it would be poor taste to share the video of the song

Scored the last goal in the history of the WHA, in the last game of the playoffs against Winnipeg.

 

He also scored the opening goal in the Battle of Alberta when the Flames moved to Calgary.  He's the answer to quite a few trivia questions, especially when he wasn't there to score goals.

It's a fantastic teaching resource - lends itself well to teaching long term historical impact and reflective historical thinking 

Yeah I just wish it went beyond 1990

Heart issues and defects can happen to anyone regardless of age. Some people are born with defects and lots arent diagnosed unfortunately until after death 

Ugh. I really enjoyed True Blood and he was certainly a highlight. Very sad.

ugh... absolutely loved the original Night of the Living Dead and even Dawn of the Dead (also the original, not the one with Mekhi Phifer and Ving Rhames)

After watching some sort of garbage the other night (2016's Peelers) you really get an appreciation for Romero's zombie movies back in the day. Him and Tom Savini (make up) were a good combo going for a while. 

 

Him too?

I thought he died a long time ago.  Guess that takes another one off the death list for 2017.  Herman Wouk still going at 102!

no I think you were thinking of Walter Matthau 

 

someone had actually commented on how 2017 had become a serial killer, I had to disagree because most serial killers had a specific target, and 2016 had a specific target and it mostly aimed at singers or musicians

 

of course I'm probably wrong about that
