For sure. The following people turn 70 this year, and I doubt they'll all make it out of 2016 alive: Sly Stallone, Steven Spielberg, Cher, Tommy Lee Jones, David Lynch, Danny Glover, Donald Trump (please), Eugene Levy, John Waters, Bill Clinton, Jimmy Buffet, Patti Smith, David Gilmour, Barry Gibb...oh, and each of us will probably have a loved one die this year, but, hey, today is Thursday--almost TGIF!

Stallone will be a tough one for me.

Leonard Cohen is 81. He'll go soon, and it'll be devastating.

I have no idea how Kirk Douglas is still alive. He's my favorite actor ever, but I don't think that one will be difficult because of how crazy old he is.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

I dunno. After 'Robin Williams killed himself,' everything else seems...contextualized.

Jesus Christ. That sentence is lead weight for the soul. It crept into this world from a place without joy. Get thee back, demon.

I haven't seen Dogma in 17 years, but it felt like a dummy's attempt to match profound and funny even at 19. Maybe it's aged well, but that would be a surprise.
