Points please.

Not going to make a joke. Just glad this c**t is dead

[pub car king]

Condolences etc, actually no f**k him.

Bring on the points. 

[Karpaty Lviv]

Vice Captain and all round c**t. First the Crimean Bridge, Tobin in the bin, a Clyde win would round off a very nice Saturday.

@Tynie Pecksniff was friends with him

Tobin is my 6th hit of the season. Probably pales into insignificance compared to his hit rate but they all count, points please oh and rot in hell.

[microdave]

The world us a better place without the murderer of Angelika Kluk, Vicky Hamilton and Dinah McNicol. I'm not going to type or say his name as he doesn't deserve any recognition whatsoever. Hope he rots in hell as I collect the best points I've ever had in the dead pool.
Eta it turns out I don't have him but I stand by the rest of my post.

I am an atheist, but people like him make me hope there is a Hell.

Same for me. I suppose rot in hell is as good a saying as any when the world has one c**t fewer in it.

[The_Craig]

Good riddance.

 

Points worth celebrating.

Lots of shit going on this week, so before I do the proper update I'd like to post this review where Kermode mentions Sacheen Littlefeather accepting his Oscar:

"Marlon would like to be here, but sadly he's eating a pie."

Week 41 update

Is five the most we've had in one weekend? I think so. Perhaps it's cheating though because up first is Rupiah Banda who died in March: Zambia declares mourning after the death of former president | The Independent

Quote

Zambia has declared seven days of national mourning following the death of the country's fourth president, Rupiah Banda, at the age of 85.

Banda, who was president from 2008 until 2011, died after a long battle with colon cancer, his son Andrew Banda has confirmed.

President Hakainde Hichilema declared the period of national mourning and said that Banda's state funeral will be held Thursday and he will be

There was more but then the log-in pop up appeared. He died at 85 so he's worth 40 Base Points with a Solo Shot for @Arabdownunder taking that to 90.

I should also add here for everyone, at the end of the year I check every pick to see if I've missed any deaths. If you have obscure ones like this it's very helpful if you keep track and post about them, but I will always make every effort to check every pick by the end of the year and make sure nothing's been missed.

Up next this week was Sacheen Littlefeather: Sacheen Littlefeather, actor and activist who declined Marlon Brando’s Oscar, dies aged 75 | US news | The Guardian

Quote

Sacheen Littlefeather, the activist who declined Marlon Brando’s Oscar for The Godfather, has died aged 75, the Academy of Motion Pictures announced on Sunday.

Littlefeather had breast cancer.

The Academy announced her death in a tweet on Sunday night. The Hollywood Reporter cited a statement from her caretaker that said she died at noon on Sunday at her home in the northern California city of Novato, surrounded by her loved ones.

Brando won the best actor Oscar in 1973 for his role in the Godfather but did not attend the ceremony, protesting in support of Indigenous rights. Littlefeather appeared at the event on Brando’s behalf. She declined to accept the award and gave a short speech explaining the actor’s refusal was due, in part, to “the treatment of American Indians today by the film industry … and on television, in movie reruns.”

Littlefeather, then 26, was booed; she later alleged that actor John Wayne had to be held back by security guards backstage from assaulting her. Other individuals backstage reportedly made offensive gestures. She was blacklisted by Hollywood after the ceremony.

In August, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences issued a formal apology to Littlefeather over her treatment.

She died at 75 so she's worth 50 Base Points for @Arabdownunder and @Ned Nederlander, with a Deadly Duo bonus taking that to 75 points each.

Up third this week is lawyer and thief Ian Hamilton: Lawyer who removed Stone of Destiny dies aged 97 - BBC News

Quote

The last surviving member of a group of Scottish nationalists who removed the Stone of Destiny from Westminster Abbey and returned it to Scotland has died.

Ian Hamilton KC was one of four students who broke into the Abbey on Christmas Day in 1950.

The stone had played a key role in the coronation of Scottish kings before being taken to London by King Edward I of England in 1296.

Mr Hamilton became a lawyer, and continued to campaign for independence.

He and a couple of mates stole a rock from a church. Simpler times. Hamilton died at 97 so he's worth 28 Base Points for @sophia and @tamthebam with a Deadly Duo bonus taking that to 53 points each.

Up fourth this week is country singer Loretta Lynn: Loretta Lynn death: Country music icon dies aged 90 | The Independent

Quote

Loretta Lynn, the Kentucky coal miner’s daughter whose songs about life and love as a woman in Appalachia touched millions, has died aged 90.

In a statement provided to The Associated Press, Lynn’s family said she died on Tuesday (4 October) at her home in Hurricane Mills, Tennessee. Her cause of death has not been disclosed.

Lynn launched her career in the early Sixties, when she already had four children.

Her songs, which painted a portrait of the musician as a tough, defiant woman, were in stark contrast to the stereotypical image of most female country singers at the time. She wrote unapologetically about sex and love, cheating husbands, divorce and birth control.

Granny Sanchez is probably a fan. While I'm not a fan of the genre it's a bit sad when an original country star dies, because you reflect on what modern country music is and how inauthentic it is and wonder. Lynn died at 90 so she's worth 35 Base Points for @buddiepaul, @Curmudgeon, @paulathame and @The Hologram.

Last - and least - this week is Peter Tobin: Serial killer Peter Tobin dies while serving life sentences in Edinburgh | Scotland | The Guardian

Quote

Serial killer Peter Tobin has died after becoming unwell while serving three life sentences.

He was taken from HMP Edinburgh to hospital, thought to be the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh, on Wednesday and subsequently died, sources said.

He was serving a life sentence for raping and murdering Polish student Angelika Kluk, 23, and hiding her body under the floor of a Glasgow church in 2006.

The killer, who was in his mid-70s, was also serving life terms for the murders of 15-year-old schoolgirl Vicky Hamilton, of Redding, near Falkirk, in 1991, and 18-year-old Dinah McNicol the same year.

Their bodies were found 17 years later, buried in the garden of his former home in Margate, Kent.

What can I reasonably add about a rapist and murderer who led an awful life? Nothing, really. His Wikipedia article has a decent amount of detail about the murders he was convicted of, as well as several others he was linked to. He died at 76 so he's worth 49 Base Points for @Billy Jean King, @gingette, @Lofarl and @The_Craig. @Karpaty Lviv and @ThomCat get a Vice-Captain bonus taking them to 74 points, while @Sergeant Wilson gets a Captain bonus taking him to 98 points.
