That's sad. 57 is way too young to die.

I too loved Sky High! She was great in it. Teenage me thought she was incredibly beautiful too (and he was right!). She will be missed.

Star Trek Continues. Probably hands-down the best fan-made Star Trek production out there. Or at least tied with Axanar. RIP Grant, you were always awesome on MythBusters!

As a personal aside, he died of a brain aneurysm at age 49. My aunt died of the same thing at basically the same age (years ago now). Not really relevant, just an interesting coincidence to me. Aneurysms suck, because they're so hard to detect that their victims usually have no idea and just suddenly drop dead.

We find comfort among those who agree with us - growth among those who don't. - Frank Howard Clark

The wise man doubts often, and changes his mind; the fool is obstinate, and doubts not; he knows all things but his own ignorance.

The correct statement of individual rights is that everyone has the right to an opinion, but crucially, that opinion can be roundly ignored and even made fun of, particularly if it is demonstrably nonsense!” Professor Brian Cox

Wow, had no idea he was that old! RIP

I mostly remember him from Who Wants To Be A Millionaire way back in the day, before Meredith Viera took over as the host (don't know who the guy is who's hosting that now).

B movie star and low budget SF set piece John Saxon has died. Most people remember him from "Enter the dragon" but I remember him for a varieyt of B sci-fi films.

My favorite film of his was "Battle beyond the stars".






He was in a controversial british SF flick known as "The night caller".

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Night_Caller_from_Outer_Space

This movie was panned because it was a little too cerebral for what people expected from a sci fi flick, i recommend it if you can find it.
