RIP 2022

Last Saturday (12th FEB), the director of the original 1994 Ghostbusters, Ivan Reitman died. His son Jason directed this year's Ghostbusters Afterlife, so it was good to see that he was around long enough to see the next chapter done within the family.

Ivan didn't direct a lot of movies for someone of his age, but most of the ones he did during the 80s and 90s were iconic or well-known.

Shane Warne dead at 52 suspected heart attack in Thailand

Just days after another cricket legend too (Rod Marsh).
Last night I was watching this week's gogglebox episode that featured a Warne doco about his life, so it was a bit ominous for the doco to be done and then he dies.
A heart attack at only 52 (he was a self confessed heavy smoker for the first half of his life)... but not much older than many of us who were first into TFs from the very beginning.

A heart attack at only 52 (he was a self confessed heavy smoker for the first half of his life)... but not much older than many of us who were first into TFs from the very beginning.

Apparently he was on some liquid diet in the week leading up to his death. Obviously smoking has played a factor, but it sounds like the stress put on his body from that diet was the final thing that did it.
Losing/gaining a lot of weight quickly is not good for you.

Anyway, regardless of how it happened RIP to one of the greatest cricketers that Australia produced.

R.I.P. Scott Hall. One of the most stand-up guys ever in old school wrestling.

William Hurt (of many movies fame, but more recently Thaddeus Ross in the Marvel films) passed away earlier this week.

Taylor Hawkins (drummer for Foo Fighters) sadly just passed away. It was very sudden since he was in Australia just a couple of weeks ago.
