Massive icons like Aretha Franklin or Donna Summer will certainly continue to get their own threads when they pass, but I figured it might be worth having a place to honor lesser-known celebrities who have left us, especially because we can’t see status updates (which is where a lot of those announcements were made on here previously).

Some people have criticized the films of Eric Rohmer as like watching paint dry, but Ma Nuit chez Maude but it was probably the blueprint for many movies about average middle class guys who find themselves ensconced in a something that can only be described as a morally compromised situation.

I never came across his work, but damn that is tragic. Only last week did Cooper Noriega, a TikTok star, pass away at 19.

Previously, he had set up a mental health Discord.
