I sometimes make myself a mental list of famous people who are expected to die soon. The following people will all die in the next few years: Jimmy Carter (98), Henry Kissinger (99), Dick Cheney (82), Pope Francis (86), Paul McCartney (80), John Williams (91), William Shatner (92), and Ali Khamenei (83).
- Andrew_nenakhov 4y agoThere is a website for such predictions: https://deathlist.net/ https://deathlist.net/
- nly 4y agoWell, that's delightfully morbid.
- tcbawo 4y agoBuzz Aldrin (93), although he might outlive all of us
- bilekas 4y agoNot to diminish your list, but notably they're all non scientific, there's a push with Kissinger. (One could see economics as a science) Point being: they only serve the generation who survive them, Moore, will outlive us all, in fact and in legacy. Edit: What I said isn't true, music, movies and arts will outlive us. We have different lists.
- azinman2 4y agoTheir impacts go beyond their generation by having shifted the world in some way.
- WalterBright 4y ago> music, movies and arts will outlive us. Will they? Who watches old movies?
- vmladenov 4y agoI just watched Some Like It Hot (1959) a few weeks ago. Great comedy, looks phenomenal in 4K
- WalterBright 4y agoI watch old ones, too, but always by myself. Nobody else wants to. It's always "eww, black and white!" Often they're right. They'd be much more watchable with an AI that could sharpen the picture and colorize it.
- vmladenov 4y agoWatched it with the family! Was a hit Hard disagree on the colorization bit. I don’t see how color would improve some thing like Psycho or Citizen Kane
- WalterBright 4y agoNice!
- the_only_law 4y agoI don’t know. Sometimes poor contrast black and white film does really well for the atmosphere/vibe/whatever the hell you want to call it.
- WalterBright 4y ago"Sometimes" is the right word. Usually, it's just inferior. B+W was used for artistic purposes only rarely, the rest of the time it was because it was cheap and easy.
- mixmastamyk 4y agoA kid in this house has started an appreciation for the original Twilight Zone, and enjoyed Casablanca before that. Gotta start early I guess. TV is scarce in this house, which promotes reading and feeling lucky to see a great movie, no matter the era.
- Scottn1 4y agoGene Hackman (93)
- ankit70 4y agoAlan Alda.
- dghughes 4y agoAnd Mike Farrell.
- lordnacho 4y agoAttenborough. That will be the end of our planet's conscience, symbolic of the era where we discovered how truly incredible a place we live in, and what we are doing to it.
- spinlock_ 4y agoWarren Buffett (92)
- jjeaff 4y agoAnd Charlie Munger (99) is still somehow doing press junkets.
- childintime 4y agoSadly Mick Jagger is on my list, his death would mark the end of an era.
- pjmorris 4y agoRelated: "I think youngsters need to start thinking about the kind of world they are going to leave for me and Keith Richards (79)." - Willie Nelson (89)
- ericmcer 4y agoEven in death Ringo will be in Paul McCartney's shadow haha. A huge one for me is Mel Brooks, it is pretty rare for a celebrity death to have an impact on me but that one will.
