Leslie Nielsen, age 84, died today from pneumonia.

"A hospital? What is it, doctor?"
"It's a big building with patients, but that's not important right now....."

Surely you can't be serious.
I am serious.  And don't call me Shirley.

FORBIDDEN PLANET and CREEPSHOW ("Iiiiiit's Showtime!")

I was very sad to hear about Leslie Nielsen.  My brother had recorded the entire Police Squad run on VHS and I watched it over and over when I was a kid, and also loved Airplane! and Naked Gun movies.  I have never actually seen Forbidden Planet, but I must seek it out.  I've never seen Leslie young, or serious.

John Steakley, sci-fi writer. Relatively young, too. :/

Ron Santo, Cubs legend.  I cried when I heard this.

Don "Captain Beefheart" Van Vliet, around the middle of last month.  I loaded up Bongo Fury in the CD player and gave it a play in tribute.
