Bowie hurt.

John Carpenter
Paul McCartney
And basically every major player of the new Hollywood movement of the late 60's and 70's (Nicholson, Scorsese, Spielberg, etc.)

 

[v1lla21]

Paul Walker hit me pretty hard. Only other people I see getting close to it are Harrison Ford and Mark Hamill.

 

[HabeeNo]

Stan Lee is gonna hurt.

First reply

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

Ali hurt me the most, even though it wasn't sudden still an impact to see him.

Currently alive? Sidney Poitier

 

[jetjevons]

Sean Connery is gonna hurt. Clint Eastwood is gonna hurt.

 

[MetalGearZed]

Patrick Stewart
Hideo Kojima
Ian McKellen

Donald Trump.

this sorta takes it

edit: nvm just remembered one and i don't even want to fucking say it

 

[Indelible]

Probably a wrestler like Chris Jericho or Mick Foley, those were my idols as a kid.

 

[Alastor3]

Have affected me: Jackson, I never really listen to his music before he died (did really like music at the time, was very limited in my taste) but it's the kind of guy that have so much attention by the media, that you would think he would be immortal, and it really hit me. I started listenning to his stuff after that, really good!

Robin Williams: I still can't believe it yet... fuck mental illness

Will probably affect me: Jim Carrey (yeah i know, vaccination controversy aside, i really like his character, his movies.

Serj Tankian.

The only youtuber i really follow, Criken, for still being down to earth after all those years.

 

[Chronus]

The day Arnold dies, my childhood goes with him.

 

[Aurongel]

Steven Spielberg
Martin Scorsese
Jeff Gerstmann
Casey Niestat

 

[MickeyPhree]

Pat Riley.

Miami Heat basketball has always been a huge part of my life. His coaching and management helped make the Heat a championship organization.

 

[Bobby Roberts]

When John Williams goes I'm going to be a fucking wreck.

 

[DJChuy]

Chester affected me way more than I anticipated.

Stan Lee for sure. The Rock is another one.

 

[TacosNSalsa]

When Christopher Reeve died I was pretty upset even though I was a grown ass man ..lol..I grew up watching these movies and he fucking was Superman to me . So I would guess others the movies I loved at that time too..Dan Akroyd , Bill Murray and Ernie Hudson . When Harold Ramis died I was it did hurt. Sigourney Weaver was in both Alien movies and both Ghostbuster movies so that's a double kick in the nads..Michael J. Fox and Christopher Lloyd will be probably be the worst for me .

Know it seems like a lot but growing up till about 12 or so I didn't have many friends , everyone pretty much treated me like shit cause I was a different race from them . They few friends I did have would come over and watch movies and play video games so these were my friends..

 

[ronco2000]

Betty White

 

[ryutaro's mama]

I'd be holed up in my room for at least a month if Kanye ever passed.

Bronx-Stan, no man should have that much power.

 

[torre_avenue]

When Kanye dies, I'm just going to be a fucking wreck.

Yes, he's an idiot on a colossal level at times, but the man has created such a powerful body of work with the ethos that nothing should ever hold him back.

 

[Chained Prometheus]

Bruce Dickinson, David Lynch and Mark Hamill. The day any of those three amazing men die, I will be a sobbing mess.

 

[Laughing Banana]

I would be devastated if I hear that Roger Federer dies.

Heck, I would be devastated when he announces his retirement.

 

[Farsi]

Hans Zimmer.

His work has impacted me on an emotional level no other composer or celebrity has.

 

[Puruzi]

Kevin Hart

 

[Alcoremortis]

Bill Nye. I can't imagine the world without him.

 

[Jombie]

Gene Wilder's death broke my heart more so than any.

 

[blame space]

Kanye West will never die.

 

[Jarrod38]

Does anyone from The Rolling Stones count?

 

[Ziltoidia 9]

Devin Townsend, Mel Brooks, James Hetfield.

 

[blame space]

Brian Jones

 

[BeforeU]

Spielberg
Harrison Ford
Mark Hamill
George Lucas
Tom Hanks

This +
Hans Zimmer
Martin Sorcerer
Morgan freeman
David attenborough
John Williams

 

[Renekton]

Woops didn't read

 

[Choomp]

Jeff Gerstmann

I'm glad someone else said it first so I didn't feel weird in a thread filled with big time celebs. Following a site like Giant Bomb is like having another friend group, in a weird way. It's why losing Ryan Davis sucked so much. That's why this first came to mind.

 

[Randolph Freelander]

Does anyone from The Rolling Stones count?

If Keith Richards isn't dead already, I'm not sure it's ever going to happen.

 

[The Albatross]

Actually, emotionally, when some wrestlers die I'll be kind of sad. Thing is most of my favorite childhood wrestlers are already dead, but if someone like Scott Hall or Jake the Snake Roberts died suddenly, I'd be sad for them knowing that they tried to fight their vices but their vices may have caught up with them.

Bret Hart, Hogan, Vince McMahon, they're not all good people, but I'll be disappointed if they die young/suddenly.

When Macho Man died some years back I was pretty disappointed. Most wrestler deaths are just sad circumstances.

 

[takriel]

Celebrity deaths don't affect me and shouldn't affect you, either.

 

[blame space]

I wish people didn't have to die, but at the same time I wish I was dead all of the time.

 

[Glass Shark]

Steve Martin, Bill Murray

 

[gamz]

Roger Ebert.

Still sucks.

 

[Draper]

I wish people didn't have to die, but at the same time I wish I was dead all of the time.

What came of your whole thing with that girl?

 

[Lord Fagan]

Given how much undeserved butthurt he's fallen victim to, especially when measured against his actual achievements, I'm guessing George Lucas is really gonna hurt.

There's gonna be some backbiting, which will make it worse, but that man is a pillar of the middle-class popular imagination for two generations.

Harrison Ford dying will be an even bigger deal, though. So will Bruce Willis.

 

[blame space]

don't indulge me

 

[brianjones]

my own life requires all my griefs

 

[17 Seconds]

some morbid ass threads on neogaf lately

 

[arigato]

They already happened sadly and now no one is left who will literally hurt me as much as those who've already passed away.

 

[adin75]

There are many but the one that will likely top all the rest would be James Hetfield.

Have been a huge fan since my early teen years (into my 40's now, so it has been a while).

 

[cr0w]

Gene Wilder's death broke my heart more so than any.

Same here. It was the first time I truly couldn't believe someone was no longer with us. He was such a good, gentle soul. The only one so far that's been close to the impact he had on me was Harold Ramis. Egon simply can't die.

When Bill Murray or Steve Martin go, I'm going to be an absolute mess.

There are many but the one that will likely top all the rest would be James Hetfield.

This one, too. I saw them live in June, and I was in awe of how much I admire him, especially how he's recovered from his substance abuse issues.

 

[blame space]

gene Wilder died?? I need help

 

[Vincent Alexander]

James Hetfield and Larry David.

 

[blame space]

Larry David will never die.

 

[PhoncipleBone]

Pete Townshend.

I almost posted this earlier, because The Who have been a big part of my life.

 

[Jason Frost]

I wish people didn't have to die, but at the same time I wish I was dead all of the time.

🤔

 

[Vincent Alexander]

Larry David will never die.

He better not. Or he better go after me. Is it sad my favorite memory after 3 months in Manhattan was sharing an elevator with him? 0 words were exchanged. It was amazing.
