2022 SDMB Celebrity Death Pool

Colin Cantwell, concept artist who created Star Wars’s X-Wing and Y-Wing, conceived of the “Dawn of Man” opening for Kubrick’s 2001, worked on Spielberg’s Close Encounters of the Third Kind, and created the computer graphics used in the climatic scene of Wargames where WOPR learns the only way to win nuclear war is not to play, is dead 90 from Alzheimers.

And…

I’m right there with ya!

Why can’t we have any current politicians kick the bucket?

Had no idea Bob Vlasic was still alive. Michigan(my state) native and apparently was at one point selling 24% of the nations pickles.

Hey, you find one thing and do it well. He did.

Just today I decided to begin making my 2023 Themed List. So far I have nine names, and I’m researching three others. All politicians.

Greg Abbott Gov of Texas
Don McLaughlin mayor of Uvalde. Texas
Ken Paxton AG of Texas
Ted Cruz US Sen TX
John Cornyn US Sen TX
Rep. Tony Gonzales. TX
Florida Rep. Randy Fine
Paul Gosar Arizona Congressman
Darrell Issa California Rep.

My list was all Fox News and OANN personnel. I was hoping for a plane crash to or from CPAC last February but it didn’t happen. :frowning_face:

Noooo! Not Shoeless Joe Jackson! Aw man…

Two heroes in a row, shock…

No comment I see. Words are very unnecessary.

The original Moonwalker. Ok maybe not the actual first but he was doing it a couple of decades before Michael Jackson.

Well Loach really picked up some points (he was only 38):
