Dan O'Bannon

Hugely influential to sci-fi, not least his work on Dark Star and Alien, Dan O'Bannon has sadly passed at the too young age of 63.




"Anybody want to say anything?"

from Alien, at Kane's brief funeral. Mentioned by someone at Empire, I thought it very apt...

Brittany Murphy, aged just 32, has died from a heart attack. 

She was most famous I suppose, for Sin City. Horrible loss at that age...

I read this about an hour ago :S I was very shocked, although it was only reported on TMZ I was quite skeptical. I'm very shocked, i liked her in a few films... Clueless is one of those guilty pleasures.

Oh dear, what a shame. I feel so bad for her family. I wonder if it was drugs or suicide - what a pity.

[Critter]

Oh no!! I loved Brittany Murphy to an insane amount, this is a sad, sad day for Critter

Oh dear, what a shame. I feel so bad for her family. I wonder if it was drugs or suicide - what a pity.

Just my feeling, but I'm sure that those weight fluctuations had a role in this. It couldn't be good for the heart to play with it that much? That's the reason of the Karen Carpenter death no? This isn't the first young actress who will died because of that and be prepare to see a lot of really known name appear in the years to come here...

Sad and pathetic way to die
