  Sad to hear about Derek, my guess that he would of been around 17/18 when he worked on the James Bond Theme in 62?

  Hooks was a great illustrator. I own some vintage novels that feature his work on the covers.
  
  Here's a showcase of his work on Flickr, if anyone's interested:

  Oh, no. I'll always remember him as Uncle Monty first and Henry Crabbe second. RIP Richard Griffiths.
  
  I think he would have made a marvelous 8th Doctor.

  RIP Richard Griffiths. He was a familiar face back in my younger days, where I rewatched the early Potters constantly again and again and again. Sad to see yet another piece of my childhood float away.

  This one hurts. Roger Ebert dead at 70. A true legend. I live in Chicago and was always proud that the most famous film critic was from here too. RIP

  Good God. Without his controversial reviews it will feel as if something is missing. RIP.

  I just found out and no words can really describe how I feel. It is a shame that this world has lost yet another person so passionate about cinema. RIP

  A very touching tribute, indeed.
  
  I hope their is some kind of movie heaven where Roger is right now, reviewing again with Siskel while Marilyn is on stage signing and dancing while Humphrey Bogart, Katharine Hepburn, Orson Welles, Carey Grant, Gregory Peck, Jimmy Stewart, Hithcock and more are all just shooting the breeze while one of their classic flicks plays on a massive screen. Screw that pearly gates mumbo jumbo; THIS is what heaven would look like...

  French comic book artist Fred died on april 2nd 2013, at the age of 82. Among his works, he was the creator of Philémon, the adventures of a teenager who found himself transported into a world where the letters of the Atlantic Ocean were real, and strange creatures roamed land and sea.

  A great article showing the various responses to Mr. Ebert's death. Definitely shows the influence he had

  It's heartbreaking to see the good man pass away so quickly. 70 is undeniably too young. And I'm sure he had so much more to tell us. R.I.P., Mr. Ebert.

  And another great comic book artist has passed away, this time in the US: Carmine Infantino, whose most famous work was the Silver Age Flash.

  Yes, my opinion on Ebert would change over the years - he was surprisingly inconsistent in his reviews many years ago, for example giving TLD a bad review and LTK a great review for the exact same reasons! However, he was a passionate lover of film and I'm absolutely gobsmacked at his courage in the face of his later health issues. Would that we could all have such dignity and bravery.

  I wouldn't go that far but I'd be lying if I said I was mourning her.
  
  EDIT: My mate just texted me saying, "I assume this is how America felt when they got Bin Laden" :)) He got it off twitter apparently.

  Margaret Thatcher was, in my opinion, a legend of British politics. Like all of us she wan't perfect, and made mistakes, but how my country (UK) needs a leader like Thatcher now. Most of the current lot are pathetic in comparison. She turned my country around, and made people feel proud to be British again. RIP.
