Alec Guinness (1914-2000)Just watched River Kwai the other day and hadn't realized he had passed.
dumb bitch

His filmography is so good. Everything he has been has been great; of course his best role is in Bridge on the River Kwai.Just a shame hardly anyone remembers him for his great acting, and just knows him from Star Wars.
>>218237457I didn't even know he was sick.
he's lucky he died before yewtree, he was definitely a nonce
>>218237457Actually I'm still alive
>>218237457you couldn't imagine that a man who was born in 1914 had not died yet?
Surprised he didn't make it to see his 115th birthday
it's hard when they go young like that
MODS STICKY THIS

>Officers mustn’t do manual laborThat’s a stupid rule. I’m siding with the Jap camp commandant.
>>218237457I think the film sucks desu.>Ummm akshually I'm le officer and I dont have to do manual labor see it says so right here...And then I dont even remember what happens at the end. I'm pretty sure most of the rescue team dies. Does the main Chad make it? I honestly can't remember. I'm not even 100% if they managed to blow up the bridge or not. And then the movie just ends abruptly. Also I watched it on a tablet in prison.
>>218237457>2000So he was able to see The Phantom Menace? To see young Obi-wan?
>>218237457>A refurbished Star Wars is on somewhere or everywhere. Fairy-tale rubbish. I have no intention of revisiting any galaxy. I shrivel inside each time it is mentioned. 20 years ago it had a freshness, a sense of moral good and fun. Then I began to be uneasy at the influence it might be having. The bad penny first dropped in San Francisco when a sweet-faced boy of twelve told me proudly he had seen Star Wars over a hundred times. His elegant mother nodded with approval. Looking into the boys eyes I thought I detected little star-shelled cockles of madness beginning to form and I guessed that one day they would explode. 'I would love for you to do something for me,' I said. "Anything! Anything!' the boy said rapturously. 'You won't like what I'm going to ask you to do.' I said. 'Anything, sir, anything!' 'Well,' I said, 'do you think you could promise never to see Star Wars again?' He burst into tears. His mother drew herself up to an immense height. 'What a dreadful thing to say to a child!' she barked, and dragged the poor kid away. Maybe she was right but I just hope the lad, now in his thirties, is not living in a fantasy world of secondhand, childish banalities.And he was a good friend.
>>218237512At least he got rich from Star Wars.
>>218237918What an asshole
>>218237720All those old-school Britisher theatre actors were nonces. They'd tread the boards and light up the stage until curtain call when they'd retire to their dressing room with a glass of brandy and a couple of kids. A proud British tradition.
>>218238180Guinness hung out with Lord Mountbatten though so he was on some world wide pedo shit.
>>218238218That Mountbatten lot, absolute animals. Real bad news.
>>218237457FAm I crazy or have a bunch of people died this week?
>>218237739Force ghosts post on /tv/? You truly have become more powerful than we can possibly imagine.
>>218237918>in San Francisco>a sweet-faced boy of twelve>Looking into the boys eyes>'I would love for you to do something for me,' I said. >"Anything! Anything!'> 'You won't like what I'm going to ask you to do.'There's a story within the story.
>>218238334>died this weekhe died 26 years ago lol. >>218238218>Hung out with Lord MountbattenIsn't Guinness one of those guys who fucked guys but had a wife and children? Cause he made Star Wars to leave a larger estate for his family, but I could have sworn he was one of those guys who fucked guys. Like a real old bugger. Not a true "faggot" in our modern sense, but a faggot none the less.
>>218237918He was pissed that he studied acting and Shakespeare for years only to have his notable role be a space wizard in a dead franchise. Hopefully he died in the most painful fashion possible, angry and screaming.
Great actor. Def watch his other David Lean movies (including his cheeky role in "Passages to India") Can't believe he agreed to be in Star Wars, especially SW1, which strikes me as a such a B movie.
>>218237791Not that crazy in the grand scheme of things.
>>218239326
>>218239426excuse me sir, the grand scheme is that only 0.01% of current living humans are over the age of 100.
>>218237457Yo you know who else I just learned had died?
>Alec Guinness, who portrayed Obi-Wan Kenobi in the original Star Wars film, expressed his dissatisfaction with the project. He referred to it as "fairytale rubbish" and was initially hesitant to accept the role, only agreeing after his pay was doubled. During filming, he complained about the script, stating that the dialogue was "rubbish" and did not clarify his character.Outrageously based.
I didnt even know he was sick!
>>218239379yeah he got arrested for soliciting in a public lavatory when he was a young man.
>>218239379Yeah he got busted diddling in a bathroom
>>218237918>>218239326>>218239483Maybe the real treasure was the criminal record we acquired along the way
>>218239901>>218239910he was just ripping off george michael
>>218240121That one doesn't seem as surprising as Alec Guinness. George Michael being a gay is about as shocking as Ricky Martin coming out
>>218237791Many holocaust survivors living today were born within that same timeframe so it's nothing unusual. Miracles sometimes do happen.
>>218240829And in the case of holocaust survivors, the number of survivors exponentially increases through time. It's truly a miracle. Picrel: Anne Frank
>>218240185>That one doesn't seem as surprising as Alec Guinness.I know it's said daily here but every single actor is a faggot.
>>218240024>Rolling is a good trick
>>218238292Have you deen the documentary where the mother of the teen who was blown up with him is interviewed? I couldn't fucking believe it. She was whoring her son to him just to be able to say he hang out with the royals.
>>218239379I could swear he had died before 2000
>>218239553That's because most people alive today were born after 1926, you gotta give them time to catch up!
