Eddie Valiant Died Today

Wow.

So, yeah. Bob Hoskins, the actor who played Eddie Valiant in Who Framed Roger Rabbit, died form Parkinson's related issues today. Fuck, I ain't gonna lie, guys, Roger Rabbit is easily one of my favorite movies of all time, so this bummed me out.

Just the other day we were talking about how great a movie Who Framed Roger Rabbit was and how sad we were to never see it on TV anymore.

Bob Hoskins. He was Hook too. And in the Syfy Channel miniseries Neverland both times playing Smee.

He will be missed.

Or maybe our interests and works - as well the connections we forge with other people - are the only things that make our brief existences real at all. If our fate is to die and eventually be forgotten, the only recourse is to use our moments to will some meaning into our lives within the theater of human experience. Therein lies impact, and value.

Gawd, that sounds pretentious. But that's what I think, regardless.

Thanks for all the fish, Mr. Hoskins.

So perhaps we should bask in them while we are conscious, y'dig?

What?! God damn! I loved that movie!

[Railroad Brony]

I just showed the picture to my parents and they thought it was sweet. It makes me tear up looking at it. I haven't seen that movie in years, but I love it. Christopher Lloyd plays a great villain to Bob Hoskins' hero. I still watch it whenever it is on, no matter where in the movie it is. Of course, I watch closely when the Benny wrecks after driving through Dip and Jessica goes flying. No, my favorite part is seeing the cartoons from all the great studios mixed together under one roof.

I'm sad, but I can't help recalling the time my Dad asked me to look Hoskins' info up online and I inadvertently ended up on a gay site devoted to "bears".

"That's sure a lot of half-naked pictures. I wonder-YAAAAAGH!!"

Haven't been able to watch "Roger Rabbit" since.

Well, if bionics goes well, we might be able to give death a middle finger. Sort of. Don't know how we'll be able to keep brains healthy yet.

I actually came across that image on imgur.

"Godammit! I wasn't gonna cry for Bob!" I said as a tear crawls down my face.

My sister didn't know who he was, the only way for her to remember was to tell her it was "Smee" from Peter Pan
