Miguel Sanchez Posted September 11, 2022 Author Share Posted September 11, 2022 (edited) Week 37 update Two deaths this week. Up first (sort of) is the actor Marsha Hunt: Marsha Hunt dead: Actress blacklisted in Hollywood dies aged 104 | Metro News Quote Marsha Hunt, an actress who was blacklisted in Hollywood during the witchhunts for communists in the mid-20th century, has died at the age of 104. The star, who appeared in films including Pride and Prejudice, Born to the West, Kid Glove Killer and The Happy Time, died on Wednesday September 7 from natural causes at her home in Sherman Oaks, California. Her death was confirmed to The Hollywood Reporter by Roger C Memos, the writer and director of the 2015 documentary Marsha Hunt’s Sweet Adversity. Tributes have been made to the late activist, who campaigned throughout her life to raise awareness of homelessness, world hunger, climate change and was a supporter of same-sex marriage. In a week of relics from a bygone age, it's sort of surreal to imagine the American attitude to communism in the mid-20th century. Hunt died at 104 so she's worth 21 Base Points for @buddiepaul, @JustOneCornetto and @tamthebam. I have no idea what I'd done to tam's scores on the list but he's fixed now. I'm also glad that Hunt has died, meaning I don't need to ask anyone picking her if they meant the woman who inspired Brown Sugar by the Rolling Stones. ============== Second death this week is.... anyone? I forget. I'm looking at the list and seeing nothing. Obituary: Queen Elizabeth II - BBC News I'm not going to add anything else about her specifically. Since I started running... since I started participating in the Dead Pool there are certain names who've always been there. There are probably names which will always pop up every year, and if I knew how to write a spreadsheet I'd be able to catalogue these things properly. The Queen is one of those names so persistent in the Dead Pool I can't really imagine getting in lists without her on them. Lots of people would have been leaving her on their teams without thinking about it. Now her and her man are dead, some others are going to have to step up. The Queen, apparently, was famed for being neutral on political subjects. I have tried to adopt something similar on P&B over the past year or so, attributing to myself a no doubt undeserved and unnecessary level of influence on the board. Something to consider with the royal family in mind I suppose - I'm just the same as you, who gives a f**k what I think. What I will say, however, is that I'm not surprised or put out by anything that's happened since she died. The media is as ghastly as it ever is (or was ever going to be). Charles was in the job about thirty seconds before showing his level of entitlement. The wailing, shrieking Great British Public are a product of themselves and I can't even mock that sort of behaviour. It's like a collective mental illness is suppressed until it can't be held in any longer, and something happens to bring it up. Outside of that, what else did people outraged by the coverage expect? Did you really think the football would be on when the country's greatest symbol of international recognition died? Did you expect her to die and it be forgotten the day after? It's surreal, it's frustrating, it's a stark reminder of inequality in a country that calls itself Great, and it's something unprecedented that was always going to produce this sort of reaction. If nothing else, consider what happened the last time the monarch died. Seventy years ago. You, reading this, do you remember or know what the country was like seventy years ago? Elizabeth Two died at 96, so she's worth 29 Base Points, 44 points for a Vice-Captain bonus and 58 points for a Captain. Those points are awarded as follows: Base Points: @Billy Jean King, @Blootoon87, @Bold Rover, @cdhafc1874, @dagane, @Desp, @djchapsticks, @Duszek, @Enigma, @Florentine_Pogen, @Hedgecutter, @HI HAT, @HTG, @Karpaty Lviv, @Les Cabbage, @LoonsYouthTeam, @paulathame, @pawpar, @Scorge, @scottsdad, @sleazy, @The_Craig, @The Master Vice-Captain: @Amarillo Bairn, @cambozpar, @Mark Connolly, @Melanius Mullarkay, @Moomintroll, @Raidernation Captain: @Aladdin, @ayrunitedfw, @BillyAnchor, @doulikefish, @ICTJohnboy, @invergowrie arab, @mizfit, @Oystercatcher, @pub car king, @smpar, @Soapy FFC, @The DA, @Willie adie As a result of that, the standings (hopefully) look like this: 1.

Feel I should get some sort of points for NOT selecting her in my debut season, and those sitting on Queen points alone should feel shame at celebrating low hanging fruit en masse. Also feel that these thoughts and tactics are part of the reason I'm still on 0 points in September! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
