Actor and superb badguy Alan Rickman apparently has died of cancer at the age of 69.

Apparently, death by cancer is a popular January theme among celebrities.
I didn't really know his work, nor cared much for Bowie's music. Still, a couple more of big names in the entertainment industry have started on the journey towards the shadows in pages of history books. Makes a person... Thoughtfully melancholic, somehow.
Noooooo!!!! I was so sad when I heard. He was amazing in Love, Actually :'(
This is a popular meme this morning, Fuck Cancer!

He made Robin Hood worth watching.

My favorite Rickman role was Col. Brandon in Sense & Sensibility. He was perfect.

Yes... On the other hand, death being an ineitable result of life means that there is also much of that.
Death is merely a full stop to life. Period!

If I knew what ineitable meant I'd possibly manage a better attack, but seriously, there is also much life offered as solace? Are you truly Asmodean? I demurely request to see the scar I gave the true Asmo in my failed 2013 coup attempt.
He got some Divine Plastic Surgery. >:(
Also, there ought to have been some kind of a v in there somewhere. >:(
Also, the presense of plentiful life is a vastly depressing thing, not a solace. >:(
Except ratties. Ratties are good and right and proper and of The Asmo. >:(

Pretty much what I was thinking when I found out Frey had died.
