even worse, Tony Tyler (nah, yer too young)
Author of 'The Tolkien Companion' and editor on the 'NME' who gave Julie Burchill her first job
James Edward Anthony Tyler, writer and editor: born Bristol 31 October 1943; twice married; died Hastings, East Sussex 28 October 2006.
In his time on the New Musical Express, Tony Tyler was one of those rare, inspirational editors who can see every element of a story in a one-sentence description, and commission it on the spot: lengthy lunches discussing the piece held no interest for such a meteoric, extraordinarily intelligent and encouraging mind. Besides, only half of his teeming brain was focused on the job, as Tyler feverishly moonlighted at home on The Tolkien Companion, published in 1976 under the name of J.E.A. Tyler, which intermittently funded him for the rest of his life.

Palance was often as tough off the screen as on, saying that most of his roles were "garbage" and most of his directors incompetent.
"Most of them shouldn't even be directing traffic," he said."
Harsh - but fair.

RIP Jack Palance. That man was the real deal. I saw him doing push ups way into his 70's some years ago at the Academy Awards. No one - including Von - could look at you with a meaner glare and mean it...

Ehh. The world i live in lost nothing at all with his death. Who cares if he had a mean stare? Is that some kind of a positive attribute that is a great contribution to the pool of humanity in general?

Ok, he was also a hell of an actor, a decent poet, writer, loving husband and father, and funded cancer awareness programs.
And oh, he had a mean stare.

Being the age I am, City Slickers was my first experience of him. I absolutely adored him in it. Superb actor. May he RIP.

I guess "Thou shalt not have any gods beside Eldritch" was what Intaklipse tried to bring across. 
Put their heads on f*cking pikes in front of the venue for all I care.
