He was also in The Scorpion King in a minor role. He'll always be King Theoden to me. Maybe I need to paint my Theoden miniature in his honor. RIP Bernard Hill, and my condolences to his family and friends.

Roger Corman passed on 9 May, aged 98.

Bunch of his films on Prime, so I’m gonna get some snacks, maybe some beers, and have a Tribute.

In true Roger Corman fashion, I hope his obituary is loaded with nudity and miniatures, and the best parts are reused in dozens of obituaries yet to come.

He was a lot more than that, but his career highs were a bit prior to many of our times.

I think he was in 9-to-5 and he seemed to be a staple in movies aired on UHF channels on Saturday morning. Usually comedies of one type or another.

My favorite documentary he did was The Greatest Movie Ever Sold. A movie about product placement, paid for completely with product placement in the movie. Trying to get the shampoo maker Mane&Tail to sponsor them was just classic.

Dario G, musician gone at 53.

Perhaps not a name many would instantly recognise, as he was best known for stuff in the 90’s including Sunchyme and Carnevale De Paris.

Here’s the latter one, as whilst not a football fan, the video to it embraces everything wholesome about the international game, and now it can bring folks together through their love of a shared passion.

Dude was an icon and a role-model for what it means to be a working actor.

I enjoyed Donald Sutherland in basically everything I saw him in, even when he played a villain. But my favorite role of his was definitely Oddball in Kelly's Heroes, and from the comments in here I'd say I share that sentiment with many. RIP to a real one.

One of the roles that doesn;t seem to have been getting much note is his entry in the Buffy film. Creepiest old man to be lurking around high schools ever. It was glorious
