TCM Remembers 2019

Bill Macy died? Who knew?

Why don't they wait until the end of December in case there are any late entries?

I think they add them later.

Hold on Olivia!

Really bad song. Typical of today. I think they call it vagina music.

I didn't recognize most of them. The ones I did, I didn't even know they'd died.

Lots of surprises there for me. Some real favorites too. R.I.P. gentle souls.

Why don't they allow time for more people to die?

Albert Finney died? How did I miss that one?

Wow, they included people who died just in the last few days.

Take that, Academy.

Loved the very end going to DoDo.

Mostly a bunch of nobodies. The only three from that clip I'll personally miss are Valentina Cortese, Bruno Ganz and Doris Kappelhoff.

Hmm... who did they forget, (or snub for time?).. umm... Nobody! Fuck you, Academy!

Oh, no...Michael J. Pollard died? I liked his quirky style. Star Trek and Bonnie and Clyde made him famous.

Virginia Leith from The Head That Wouldn't Die !! Who knew???

They included Rip Torn but not Rip Taylor!

I didn't know we lost Bibi Andersson this year.

They included Valerie Harper but not Georgia Engel.

R15 Poor Bibi had a stroke about 10 years earlier that left her unable to speak.

They left out Phillip McKeon. What is this world coming to?

R16, TCM was commemorating the departeds' contributions to theatrical film. The snippet of Valerie Harper was from the movie "Chapter Two." Perhaps Georgia Engel was strictly tv.

I guess the DL thread didn't stick around long enough.

Were you drunk when you wrote that?

These are always so well done.

I wonder if the Oscars will include Carol Channing? She only made about four or five movies, but she was Oscar nominated for one of them (Thoroughly Modern Millie).

[quote]r19 Perhaps Georgia Engel was strictly tv.

Excuse ME, but she did provide the voice of Love-a-Lot Bear in [italic]The Care Bears Movie.

[quote]r23 Carol Channing only made about four or five movies, but she was Oscar nominated for one of them (Thoroughly Modern Millie).

And how did THAT happen ? ? ? ? ?

Both Georgia Engel and Philip McKeon were strictly TV. Georgia did a lot of stage work, however.

I actually won an Oscar and was still omitted by whatever 23-year-old intern was in charge of putting the "in memoriam" together.

Couldn't watch past 2 '. Apart from Fonda and Sylvia Miles I didn't know any of these people. Is Albert Finney on the list ? Always thought he was the poor man's Alan Bates, but he was sexy in the movie with Hepburn, and good in shoot the moon

For once I agree with who they saved for last: DORIS DAY.

Why did you bother watching at all, in that case?

I read the ' so young ' comment, and I thought I'd see some hot piece of dead ass

Love the trolls chiming in to claim they don't know any of these people

^^Like it's a badge of honor of some kind. "I'm not an old fart like most of you and couldn't possibly know who these people are!"

Thanks R33, you said it better than I ever could have

The year isn't over yet!

r33, they are probably old farts themselves, trying to make you think they're young so DLers can whine about "kids today"

Look at r28, what young person would know Sylvia Miles?

Everybody who saw ' midnight cowboy ' = every gay. I didn't mean that I am younger, that's on YOU ! I meant that they are rather obscure. Get over yourselves boomers !!!

They always do these memorial videos a hundred times better than at the Oscars.

True, R38. What I dislike most about the Oscar remembrance is that the images of the deceased become background decor so that we can focus on some singer wailing in the foreground.

[quote]Were you drunk when you wrote that?

No (R21) sir/madam. Why do you ask?

If only Trump would have died. There would have been celebrations breaking out all over the country...all over the world.

I already know this is better than the Oscars. The Oscars should do a online version that includes everyone.
