I think I am about to get a "pointed" reminder that he did die a couple of years ago. LOL.

I posted this from someone else's post on Facebook, and was not wearing my glasses. Right now, I hate Facebook. LOL.

Don't feel bad.

I wasn't aware of Lemmy's death (or his cancer) for a year myself.:3oops:

I was going to say...I just turned to my husband and told him Gene Wilder died again. We both laughed.

T'is okay. We all make mistakes. Don't be so hard on yourself.
 
This is so ironic in so many ways.

Wow! The resurrection and the second coming. Who would have thought, Gene Wilder? This is better than Mel Brooks' "15 commandments, oops, ten commandments." Wilder keeps those laughs coming.
 
Again? Goddamit
 
Again? Goddamit

I think he just had an extended death scene. Not yet...…….now?...……….how about now...…….. now...…...ok now..... oh hell just die already.
 
In my mind I thought for the longest time that John Astin was dead....I always confuse him with Raul Julia....they both played the role of Gomez Addams in "The Addams Family.

John Astin is still alive at the age of 88....Raul Julia passed away in 1994 at the age of 54.
 
I read the title of the thread, and thought. damn did he die again.

I think that most of us here has, at least once, fallen for one of those FB hoaxes announcing someone's death. Personally, I forgot that Wilder died a couple of years ago.

I grew up watching re-runs of Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, but that and Blazing Saddles are the only two movies that I've ever seen of his.

Saw Deadpool 2 last night.
Your thread reminds me of a line from a drunk Deadpool where he's depressed about losing George Michael so he says "At least we still have Bowie".
