Sir Sean Connery passed away last night at the age of 90; he reportedly died in his sleep, after having been “unwell for some time.” May he rest in peace.

I will always remember him best in the delightful role of that old Spanish (or Egyptian) peacock, Juan Sánchez Villa-Lobos Ramírez, in Highlander (1986), and Highlander II: The Quickening (1991). And in a tie for favorite, there’s also his role as Indiana’s father, Henry Jones, Sr, in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989).

(I don’t have any icons from the Highlander or Indiana Jones movies, so have one from the series.)

Stuart Freeborn has passed away, at the age of 98. He was the “creature effects artist who brought Yoda, Chewbacca, the Ewoks and countless other Star Wars aliens to life.” May he rest in peace.

As a passing note as to how cluttered Nellie’s house was? Her daughter hired a cleaning crew. They’ve brought the back of a semi truck to cart things off, with extra dumpsters. They’ve been working almost non-stop (they took a break on Sunday afternoon) since Friday. They’ve hauled that thing away six times to the dump and back, and they’ve only made it into the living room. They get here at 7 AM every morning, and they don’t stop until 6 PM.

We Hate Movies Podcast, Episode 79: Ghost In The Machine (1993)

I almost went to get tickets to see Halloween (1978) on October 25th, at 7 PM. However, I realized that Rifftrax Live: Birdemic is at the exact same time/day. I don’t want to be there for the later showing of 9:30 PM, so I’ll just watch it whenever AMC happens to show it again. (ETA: They show it on AMC on the 23rd at 3 PM—works out for me.)

The Yuletide 2012 Tag Set is now open for public review. Ghostbusters did make the cut, as “Ghostbusters - All Media Types.” I don’t believe I saw The Super Dictionary, so I’ll just nominate it next year. Here’s a discussion of the fandoms listed in Other Media. Fandom Primer Post (aka Pimp Your Fandom).

Fandom Brainstorming For Yuletide 2012. Nominations begin later this month. I’ve been planning my nominations for a few months now. The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen: 1996 will be in one of the three slots, since I’ve already come up with a prompt. If someone else nominates Ghostbusters and Dark Shadows (90’s version) then I won’t need to, and I can go for the original Fright Night. For the final nomination, it depends on which one of these people want to see end up on the list more: The Lost Skeleton of Cadavra, Mr. Boogedy, The Librarian series of movies, Fred Saberhagen’s Dracula novels, Innocent Blood (1992), or The Mercury Men.

Weirdly, I was just nominated for the Wicked Awards for a ship_manifesto essay I wrote for Angel/Darla back in 2006. I have until September 1st to accept or reject this nomination. Looking through it now, I see almost all of the links are dead (a couple went to Geocities) and gone, several fanfic sites turned to dust, and at least one journal has been deleted and purged. I’m leaning towards rejecting this nomination due to the fact it wouldn’t be of any practical use to people these days, and is barely an overview.
