A Warrant has been issued for Jani Lane's soul.

Jani Lane is down, boys.

Jani Lane has ate his last piece of cherry pie.

Jani Lane will never again visit Uncle Tom's cabin.

Jani Lane saw red, closed the door (on life), at 47.

Heaven isn't too far away..... anymore.

You know more Warrant lyrics than any respectable person should know.

Warrant was far, far, FAR from being the worst of the bands from that era.  They could create a melody, carry a tune, and actually deliver the goods live (I saw them once with a bunch of other bands).  One of their guitarists was REALLY frickin' good.  I'm not defending them, but they don't merit being lumped in with the really shitty 80s bands.

Goodbye Charly, JFK, and Uncle Ben....Cliff Robertson at 88.

Don't forget the President in Escape from L.A !

Andy Whitfield of Spartacus: Blood and Sand.

Very sad. 

I just found this out when I turned on my computer.  Awful news.  Way too young to go.

Agreed. It's sad to see a movie icon or legend die, but it's even sadder to see a young man go. Goodybye, Andy. You were damn fine, and a pretty decent actor to boot, and you seemed to have a great sense of humor and charisma.

Frances Bay has died at 92. She's known most for playing "Grandma" in Happy Gilmore, but she'll always be "The Marble Rye Lady" on Seinfeld to me.

Steve Jobs.

Love or hate him, he was a fucking giant.

Charles Napier!

We all knew it was coming but still saddening to hear.

I guess we'll never know how Jake Blues would look eating corn on the cob with NO FUCKING TEETH..

rip

also

Dey took Our Jobs!!

Napier, FUCK. I think that one's worse than Jobs for me. He was great a couple years back in The Goods: Live Hard, Sell Hard as an old, violent car salesman. "He's talking about karaoke you FUCKING QUEERS!"

I remember Napier last in Austin Powers. "Feed my fish........not too much." 

I actually got the chance to meet Charles Napier about 15 years ago when he was guest starring on Pacific Blue (I was a PA at the time).  It was a pretty cool experience.  We had being born in Kentucky in common.

He was Sublime as Bill Henderson in Miami Blues.  I can remember watching Miami Blues for the first time 21 years ago and Napier saying in his first scene that he was going to retire and being pissed because he wouldn't be in any more Willeford adaptations.  If only Miami Blues had been followed by a Hoke Moseley franchise.

Al Davis-aka The Crypt Keeper has died at 82. 

Doris Belack

Her last role was in GTA IV, playing Packie's elderly mom. Ironically, always talking about how we'll all be judged. I can't decide if that's sad or awesome.

I wonder what the reaction in Oakland is.  Don't Raiders fans hate him?

Not at all. To the vast majority of Raiders fans he's a God.

I can't find a better source, but according to Freddy in Space, David Hess has passed away.

Confirmed. It was indeed on his Facebook page.

RIP ex Weezer bassist Mikey Welsh. Talk about out of the blue.. er, green.

Corey Smoot, AKA Flattus Maximus, founding member of GWAR.

Smoot has been...smote by death.

Andy Rooney, 92.

As soon as he signed off 60 Minutes for the last time, I had a feeling he didn't have very long.  

He was NINETY TWO. I'd think not, really. 

Joe Frazier.  He was 67.

Baron Munchausen himself, John Neville, dead at 86.

And one of the great classsical actors...Mr. Beaks wrote a nice bit about him at AICN.

Anne McCaffrey, one of the most first and most influential women in sci-fi/fantasy writing, has died at 85. Gone off on her final dragon ride.

Ken Russell, dead at 84.

Dying peacefully in his sleep seems a bit out of character for him. RIP.

Shame he never was able to screen his approved cut of The Devils.

RIP. I've enjoyed his films a lot over the years.  What an original.

Double post!  wtf.

Haven't seen any of his films except Altered States. But that alone is enough for me to mourn the guy.

Watch The Devils, Tommy, Gothic and Lair of the White Worm.   Those are all gloriously over-the-top, energetic and entertaining.

Agree sfm.  He was one of a kind.  RIP. 

Women In Love, Altered States and Crimes Of Passion are great films, and I really hope that now Warner Bros. can get off their ass and finally release The Devils.

So long, you nutty genius you.

Art, the only picture needed to complete your mosaic is the woman with the nipple-eyes in GOTHIC.  

Patrice O'Neal dead at 41.

God damnit.
