Sad update. She wasn't dead, but she has died...

 
*shrug* cancer treatment for an 87 year old?

you already wake up creaky, can’t do the things you used to when you were younger, can’t hear or see like you used to, probably can’t hold bowels all that well.... what benefit from cancer treatment is there at that age? I don’t mean to be rude or heartless, but why bother? It’s like patching a tire that’s at the wear bars.
 
Is this going to become a trend? Everytime someone posts a facepalm we have to do an inquiry? :p

To answer, it has been well documented that I personally find celebrating that someone is dead, especially for something as cultlike as politics, nothing short of revolting. You don't have to be sad that someone died, but being happy about it is very strange. I expressed my opinion without a post.
 
Pardon me for taking an interest. :rolleyes: Sheldon Adelson made his fortune in the gambling industry, which I find deplorable, was Trump’s biggest donor (also deplorable). In other words, all of his money was dirty and he was the biggest financial supporter of a man who has done a tremendous amount of damage to democracy itself.

That makes him one of very few people whose deaths make me a little bit happier.
 
Easy there, the :p smiley means that the sentence preceding it is very much in jest :p

Though it seems we also need to remind ourselves of that one on occasion :p
 
Rémy Julienne
stunt man


The legendary French stuntman Rémy Julienne was carried off by the Covid-19 on the night of Thursday to Friday at the age of 90. He had been in intensive care for more than two weeks in the hospital of Montargis, in the Loiret. "What was bound to happen happened, he left us at the end of the evening [Thursday]. It was predictable, he was on artificial respiration," a relative of the stuntman told AFP.

A key figure in French cinema, Rémy Julienne has 1,400 productions to his credit, including 400 films. He began his career in 1964, on the set of Fantômas, dubbing the actor Jean Marais. At that time, he had just won the title of French motocross champion.
James Bond

A specialist in stunts of all kinds, he later directed the figures of famous actors of the seventh art such as Yves Montand, Alain Delon, Sean Connery and Roger Moore in the service of Agent 007. "Without Rémy Julienne, James Bond would never have existed," reacted British actor Roger Moore.

His stunts also appear in the credits of many other films: The Constable Gets Married (Jean Girault, 1968), then The Brain (Gérard Oury, 1969), The Atlantic Wall (1970, Marcel Camus), On a Perched Tree (Serge Korber, 1970), Adventure is Adventure (Claude Lelouch, 1972), The Adventures of Rabbi Jacob (Gérard Oury, 1973), The Wing or the Thigh (Claude Zidi, 1976) or The Solitaire (Jacques Deray, 1987).

For many, the stuntman's most emblematic appearance is a scene shot for Georges Lautner's film Le Guignolo, released in 1980. It shows Belmondo flying over Venice with the strength of his arms alone, hanging from a helicopter.
