Very sad to hear of course but I'm glad he's taking it gracefully and god damn Grim Reaper, could you adjust your damn list to take away evil people instead of good people of my childhood?

I wonder if he'll throw a blowout on his property out in OR... 🤞🏼😍

As seen in My Name Is Bruce. The set that was installed on his acreage is still standing too, AFAIK.

(An old friend was his PA during the shoot, and can attest to Bruce deciding near the end of shooting to keep the set vs. let it be demolished. He then went on to host parties, tours, etc. for friends of friends, and is apparently a decent guy. Thankfully, Hollywood hasn't corrupted him as much as many of his peers. 🥲 Which makes it even sadder that one of his caliber is not long for this timeline.)

That is not groovy at all.

The man is a national treasure.

Not groovy.

Somebody get the grim reaper his glasses. He keeps getting the wrong ones.

Idk how he fucked this one up, the guy looks nothing like Rex Tillerson.

This man is a living legend. I am very sorry to hear this.

I guess I have to clean my boomstick to be ready for a final salute.

I refuse to let Ash die before Trump

Then do something about it. And practice before you go.

Don't be a crooks

It's pretty sad news for sure, but personally I'd be happy knowing what kind of deadline I had to complete the things on my bucket list.

[–] wyldrstallyns@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

That seems to imply said deadline (heh) is enough to do so...

NO. NOT BRUCE CAMPBELL. I FUCKING FORBID IT.

[–] brem@lemmy.world 32 points 2 days ago (2 children)

I heard about the diagnosis a year or two ago, so I've had some time to process this, and yes; it fucking sucks.

There's always a chance that cancer doesn't have the ability to kill Bruce Campbell. I mean, have you ever seen the man throw himself!?

[–] BillyClark@piefed.social 33 points 1 day ago (2 children)

The article says that he was diagnosed in March of this year. Maybe it just feels like longer to you?

[–] MummifiedClient5000@feddit.dk 26 points 1 day ago

I think we can all agree that March this year was around two years ago.

[–] brem@lemmy.world 39 points 1 day ago

It has been a disproportionately long year.

[–] deacon@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago

There’s a man who can handle his boom stick

[–] shutz@lemmy.ca 29 points 1 day ago

I need to rewatch Bubba Ho Tep.

[–] wyldrstallyns@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

He's coming back, though —right?

Right? 🥺

This is the only thing I know him from (burn notice included).

[–] FiniteBanjo@feddit.online 20 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

So no new season of Evil Dead, then?

Jokes aside, amazing actor, been in every roll from sci-fi to horror to crime drama.

[–] Ertain@feddit.online 9 points 1 day ago

I am saddened by this.
