Yeah, 2014 is proving to be a bad year for some of my favorite creative talent.

First Harold Ramis, then Aaron Allston, and now Hoskins, too. :cry:

Just watched Who Framed Roger Rabbit, next up Hook.
So I stare wistfully at the Lightning for a couple of minutes. Two missiles, sharply raked razor-thin wings, a huge, pregnant belly full of fuel, and the two screamingly powerful engines that once rammed it from a cold start to a thousand miles per hour in under a minute. Life would be so much easier if our adverseries could be dealt with by supersonic death on wings - but alas, Human resources aren't so easily defeated.

Imperial Battleship, halt the flow of time!

Admittedly for me he'll always be Mario and Khrushchev.

He was good, even if the films weren't.

Just for breathing in the air they wanna leave me in the chair
Electric shocking body rocking beat streeting me to death"

I knew he had Parkinsons, but that's it.
