    RIP Denis, the father of my very first childhood friend. He died this morning. He was well in his 80s. My friend sadly became schizophrenic in teenage and their family never truly recovered from it.

    Thanks... I'm not devastated because he was very old and very sick (Alzhemer's disease), but it's tragic how this family suffered. My childhood friend had grown apart at some point in teenage. I always felt uneasy meeting him again when he was on medication, he was just not the same person.

    I've seen many people suffer from various diseases, a lot of them bring their share of tragedies, but mental ilnesses are the ones I fear the most.

    I agree with mental illnesses being feared the most. As someone who has a form of autism and depression, I understand that it can be difficult for other people to be around. I lost an aunt on New Year’s Day to various diseases, namely Parkinson’s. It is sometimes better to not have to see them in pain. We are here too support you @Ludovico you are one of us!

    James Cameron wanted him to play The Terminator. He decided against it because OJ was too nice of a guy in his eyes. Further shows Cameron’s poor judgement of people and people skills, lol.

    I take it this was an SNL skit?

    @MaxCasino, if he only knew!

    And during Norm's time on SNL, he spent a hearty amount of his Weekend Update time cracking harsh jokes about OJ being a murderer. It eventually led to a big falling out with him and Lorne/the producers, and inevitably, his departure from the show.

    In France, we recently lost famous equestrian and circus owner Alexis Grüss, who passed away, aged 79 :

    And the world of comics has just lost writer, artist, and historian Trina Robbins, at the respectable age of 85 :

    Among a lot of other things, she designed Vampirella's costume, but also worked on Wonder Woman. I met her twice in the '90s, at the UKCAC in London.

    That's a shame. Hopefully Megalopolis will be dedicated to her.

    RIP Jean-Pierre Ferland. Not my favourite Quebec singer, but one of the few last great ones.
