[http://blog.caranddriver.com/hal-needham-famed-stuntman-and-cannonball-run-director-dies-at-82/](http://blog.caranddriver.com/hal-needham-famed-stuntman-and-cannonball-run-director-dies-at-82/) Hal Needham dead at 82. “What Needham will be remembered most for is the first movie he directed, the ridiculously joyous, action-packed, and very funny Smokey and the Bandit. It was the second highest-grossing movie during 1977 (after Star Wars), a cultural touchstone for three generations of Americans, and the movie that sold a couple hundred thousand Pontiac Firebird Trans-Ams.” ---

> [@Morgyn](#): > > Turns out Lou Reed [ain’t dead](http://en.mediamass.net/people/lou-reed/deathhoax.html). I think. Trying to find confirmation now. ABC News reported it on their Sunday broadcast. [CNN.com](http://CNN.com) and [ABCNews.com](http://ABCNews.com) are reporting it, with the latter saying they confirmed it with his publicist. So it sounds like he’s really truly dead. ---

> [@Dung\_Beetle](#): > > Most of mine just carry over. :dubious: Yup, me too. This is my first year playing and I got some points in January! I thought I had this thing figured out. Hah. Nothing at all since then; went from first place to 114th place just like that. So I’ll just need to add one name to the current list to be ready for 2014.
