First time i saw Willy Wonka was in 1990. I remember sitting down in an old high ceiling classroom next to my own (semi-detached building). The film having only been released 19 years before at the time. That's like watching a film now from 1997, like Titanic (though they wouldn't show that film to first graders, I'm sure). I don’t think I've heard anything bad about Gene Wilder. Sad to hear him pass.

I remember Willy Wonka from my youth. In fact, I remember asking for that movie for Christmas on VHS (remember that format?) when I was 12. RIP Willy Wonka.

Former Dallas Cowboys wide receivers coach Hubbard Alexander at 77. He won 3 Super Bowl rings in the 90s as a member of the Cowboys coaching staff. The most notable player he coached as an assistant is Hall of Famer Michael Irvin.

Aww I really enjoyed seeing him in movies. Last one I watched that he played in was See No Evil, Hear No Evil, which was fairly amusing
Glad to hear he was in his 80's at least though.

Extremely sad to say that comic artist Steve Dillon has passed away. Gone far too soon. Only in his 50's.

He was probably best known for his work on Preacher and The Punisher.

RIP Mr. Dillon. You will be missed.

She was the first woman to serve as Attorney General of the United States. But we'll forgive you for not being 'Murican and awesome.
