Get it right, you fuckin' nerd.

wow, sad, he did so many things I liked:

St. Elmos Fire
The Lost Boys
INXS: Devil Inside though Need You Tonight is better.
Flatliners
Dying Young (my wife loves but I hate this movie but we both love going to Mendocino, CA where it was filmed so there's that)
Cousins (hilarious, BTW, you should give it a chance)
Falling Down (classic fucking movie)
A Time to Die (before Matthew McConaughey started looking quite so much like a human lion)

Later on, he seemed to be not doing as well:
Batman Forever, Batman & Robin (both horrible)
Phone Booth (again horrible)
8MM (disappointing)
And who cares which 2 House of Cards episodes he directed.

Overall, probably more good than bad IMO.

Up until this minute I thought Richard Donner directed The Lost Boys. I have updated my brain cells accordingly

Finally, someone the Commander recognizes!

What a great goddamn tune.

Wow, I had no idea that he had been still alive, so now I'm doubly shocked.

On left, Jorge Rodriguez, long-time producer and de facto sidekick on the Neil Rogers show died of a heart attack on Friday, at the age of 55.

I still listen to this show every day, even though now the two main people involved in it, Neil and Jorge, are both dead.

Damn, a brain aneurysm. Scary shit. Mom had multiple aneurysm issues as well, as did her mom. Hope I did not inherit that trait.

Daniel Lewis Lee, 47, died Tuesday of lethal injection in the execution chamber at Terra Haute Federal prison after the U.S. Supreme Court halted further appeals.

Lee's execution is the first federal execution in 17 years. According to Wikipedia, he "was sentenced to death and executed for the murders of William F. Mueller, Nancy A. Mueller, and their daughter Sarah E. Powell. Lee and his accomplice, Chevie Kehoe, murdered the family at their home in Arkansas, on January 11, 1996.

"Upon conviction, Lee was scheduled to be executed on July 13, 2020, but on that date, a U.S. district judge blocked the execution, citing unresolved legal issues. Thereafter, on July 14, the Supreme Court ruled that the execution could proceed. It was scheduled for 4:00 am that same day. After another short delay, he was executed at 8:07 am. He was the first person executed by the US federal government since 2003."
