This one is sad, though Don had been sick for some time. RIP Captain.

 

Don Van Vliet, better known to his cult of admirers as Captain Beefheart, is gone, from multiple sclerosis, roughly a month before he would have been 70.

Sorry to hear about the Captain. His albums were fantastically demented. Diddy Wah Diddy, Captain Beefheart.

Actor Pete Postlethwaite has died at the age of 64.

Oscar-nominated actor Pete Postlethwaite, who starred in "Inception" and "The Usual Suspects," has died at the age of 64, his agent said Monday.

 

Highly intense, with a bulbous nose, high cheekbones and ruddy complexion, the actor was immediately recognizable in films ranging from the second "Jurassic Park" movie to "Romeo + Juliet."

 

It was for his role as Daniel Day-Lewis's father in the IRA drama "In the Name of the Father" that he got his only Oscar nomination, for best supporting actor. He lost out to Tommy Lee Jones for "The Fugitive."

 

He also starred in the British brass band movie "Brassed Off," and worked with Steven Spielberg on the slave revolt story "Amistad."

"Brassed Off" was a good movie if you have any sort of band music background.

I thought he was way older than 64. I really liked him in just about everything he was in.

This sucks. I really like that guy. That being said, he did look pretty sickly in The Town.

Never heard the outcome, so I just looked it up. Although, I may have just forgot. I've forgotten a lot of things this past year due to new fatherhood.
