Big Star's Andy Hummel died on Monday. That's two members in one year...

So suddenly. Just gone now...

Rest in peace, Satoshi. You will be missed very much...

Shit, man. I'm actually tearing up over this. This really is sad...

[Darkmoon]

That is a shame. He was a very talented dude. My condolences to his friends and family.

Satoshi Kon has died at 46

-_-

[Pikminister]

Damn that's too young. Why are so many ppl dying young?

The sad thing is that he was not even close to retiring. Satori was working on another project.

Why is it always the visionary that die young? Even if they don't live dangerously, some how, some way, they get picked off eventually.

And I was just feeling very good today. -_-

EDIT: Kyoko Kon, Satoshi's widow, confirmed that it was pancreatic cancer.

[Dan Corson]

This one really got me. I absolutely love his movies...

[Pikminister]

I hate to imagine what his family and the people working on his last project feel like right now... leaving such a great void there. Nobody with his unique talent to fill it.

[WeskerIncarnate]

Actually, it's likely that the movie he had been working on (The Dream Machine) was already so near completion (if it wasn't completed already) that the movie will eventually be released.

A little shining light through all this darkness...

Just found out that Greg Giraldo died this morning. Man this fucking sucks. He was hilarious. At least we got to see you in one last Comedy Central Roast. This world is now less funny.

[Dan Corson]

I've always found him funny, but I have to say I don't find him overdosing all too shocking. Anyway, It's a shame.

Also Sally Menke, at 56. Tarantino lost a key part of his crew, no doubt about that.
