People can disagree and say that Lillies of the Field was not a good movie, but they can not deny that he broke ground with wanting to be much more than just a black face.

I play this every time I need motivation in life. Thanks, Sidney.

The Oscars have a very long history of giving an actor the award for the wrong film. Everyone from Bette Davis, Kate Winslet and Julianne Moore, to Russell Crowe, Paul Newman and Jack Lemmon, have gotten the award not for the films people remember them for, but some lesser movie no one cares about. But the consensus is it's time for them to win, or that they were great in something recently but missed out, so they win for a film no one cares about rather than one that lives on.

Which is a long way of saying RIP, Sidney Poitier. You were great in a lot of very good films, though personally I'll always have a deep fondness for Sneakers above all the others.

I also can’t forget that he was in The Jackal, too. Great action movie.

And let's not forget his performance in the movie "In the Heat of the Night", a movie who'll later be adapted into a tv series starring Archie Bunker aka Carroll O'Connor.

Happy birthday David Bowie!

You’re still one of the best British songwriters I ever listened to. Even 75 years after your death, this song still stands the test of time:

Sinead O'Connor's son 17 year old son Shane was found dead of a suicide after leaving a hospital on Thursday. He was on suicide watch.

I know she's loony but this is really sad. He chose to end his life at such a young age. The hospital is going to get sued over this.

Same thing with Denzel. I LOVE Training Day, but that was not where he should have gotten his Oscar. Then again, Halle Berry won that year too, so they were clearly making a statement even pre-woke everything.

Also, RIP Saget. That one hurts. I can just see Bob and Norm fucking with each other in the afterlife for some reason.

Bob Saget was the last person I'd expect to die to day. Fuck, dude.
