International Space Station astronaut Terry Virts (@AstroTerry) tweeted this image of a Vulcan hand salute from orbit as a tribute to actor Leonard Nimoy, who died on Friday, Feb. 27, 2015.

Nimoy played science officer Mr. Spock in the Star Trek series that served as an inspiration to generations of scientists, engineers and sci-fi fans around the world.

Cape Cod and Boston, Massachusetts, Nimoy's home town, are visible through the station window.

RIP Albert.

I'll watch those two documentaries over the weekend in his honor, although Gimme Shelter has always creep me out a lot.

[thevoid99]

The Maysles brothers are geniuses. Grey Gardens is getting a limited theatrical re-release. Damn. I also enjoyed the making-of doc that they did on The Life Aquatic of Steve Zissou though it was quite overwhelming to watch at times due to how big the production was.

Although his body of work is impressive, this is his most well known work. Rest in peace James Horner. Gone way too soon...

I remember reading a rumor that he was going to score The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo before the announcement made by you-know-who did. And as much as I love that score, it would have been interesting to see what he could have done with it.

[marodi]

I remember reading a rumor that he was going to score The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo before the announcement made by you-know-who did. And as much as I love that score, it would have been interesting to see what he could have done with it.

I would have loved that too.

It's been confirmed by Variety (http://variety.com/2015/film/news/james-horner-dead-1201525804/)

I'm still trying to wrap my brain around the news...

[thevoid99]

While I think he was overrated at times and didn't take too kindly over his score The New World wasn't used in the final film as he took shots at Malick. He is still a damn fine composer for his work with James Cameron. He will be missed.

[Jinsai]

It's sad that he's died... I was never really a big fan of his style, especially for the films that he's best known for. Still, he had a really unique and immediately recognizable signature sound. You knew it was a James Horner soundtrack within seconds, and even though he inspired a bunch of other composers to rip him off, you could always tell it wasn't him. His central motifs were catchy as hell, and his instrumentation was really a hallmark. His music owned the films that he scored, and he was scoring so many huge movies... Now that he's gone, a lot of films that would have featured his trademark sound will be different experiences, and that's an interesting (and somber) thing to consider.

People often underestimate how important a soundtrack is to a film. It informs you emotionally how to process the narrative, and it plays with your expectations. A lot of the time, a soundtrack is actually the key element that really sets the terror or gets you to tear up. It's usually seen as something more behind the scenes, but I've always had huge respect for the kings of the soundtrack world. Maybe there's some times when I could have personally asked for a little less pan flutes, but my opinion doesn't matter, and he was a legend.

All that shit was really well-known back in the 70s, Fowley relished being known as an evil impresario asshole. Rock Stars were fucking 14-yr-olds back then and nobody batted an eyelash, it was a really weird fucking time. No, nobody is gonna miss Fowley, although I guess Cherie Currey was caring for him?

Man, 2015 sucked in terms of celebrity deaths.
2015 just sucked in general, let's be real.

I was never a big fan of Motorhead, but I always liked Lemmy. He seemed like a genuinely nice guy. Like, someone you'd just randomly meet pounding drinks at a bar and you would be best friends within thirty minutes. RIP.

[miss k bee]

Lemmy hanging out with Christopher Lee now.. RIP

Lemmy and Phil Taylor are probably forming the ultimate Metal supergroup with Dimebag and Jeff Hanneman on guitar and Dio on vocals. Holy shit, Heaven is going to be very fucking loud!

They can't block a SCOTUS justice for almost a fucking YEAR. The next President won't be inaugurated until January 20, 2017.

See Article 2 Section 2 of the U.S. Constitution.


[The President] shall have power, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, to make treaties, provided two thirds of the Senators present concur; and he shall nominate, and by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, shall appoint ambassadors, other public ministers and consuls, judges of the Supreme Court, and all other officers of the United States, whose appointments are not herein otherwise provided for, and which shall be established by law: but the Congress may by law vest the appointment of such inferior officers, as they think proper, in the President alone, in the courts of law, or in the heads of departments.

The President makes a nomination and a Senate committee confirms or rejects the President's nomination.
