just heard the news and i'm gutted.

one of the all time greats. the term genius gets used way too much but, he really was.

R.I.P.

he was the best

I don't think anyone ever really gave him a proper filmic vehicle for his talents.

_live on the sunset strip_ is pretty close

_...and it's deep too!_ is an amazing box set of his stuff

You mean I'm not white?? Does Dad know? We'll have to cancel the swimming lessons!

Well, we still got Gene Wilder.

I guess neither of you saw him in Paul Schrader's Blue Collar (1978)? One of his best dramatic roles.

Mutherfucker....

This has made me well up a little, and I dont know why. Odd. It's sad news, but that reaction doesnt seem appropriate.

Ah well.

Salut, Richard Pryor! I havent thought about you in a while! You were the funniest! Ever!

...it's either that or he'd have to give up the booty.

This is a sad news and the tributes to him are too clean. He was a bawdy dude who a lot of comedians respect.

Salut!
