RIP Richard Griffiths

I saw him in The History Boys at the National Theatre and in the Sunshine Boys last year and he was a first class actor. He will be missed.

Very sad news. A brilliant film critic and a true inspiration in terms of his battle with cancer and commitment to his job.

Member number 33 of the "100 free films in 2012" club. I saw 32, which is rather delightful.. I beat Mr. Glass on free films but he narrowly inched me out on total films seen.

Member number 33 of the "100 free films in 2011" club. I saw 20, interestingly enough. My more realistic target was to see more free films than TheyCallMeMrGlass. I lost.

I couldn't agree more. I had a lot of respect for him & his writing & liked him even more having read his personal essay about his wife http://blogs.suntimes.com/ebert/2012/07 ... _chaz.html. I still have a romantic wish that my future husband (that I've yet to find) will feel this way about me :cross: .

Disney post in Twitter: It is with great sadness that we mourn the passing of Jane Nebel Henson (1934-2013).
Jane was previously married to Jim Henson and was a co-creator of the Muppets.

. . . plus the other 2 young adults!
Evil must never win! These bombs were made to hurt as many people as possible. Shame on the bombers!
No cause is so great as to justify taking the lives of innocents. May they rest in peace.
