All of you who keeps this thread going are marvelous! I have a question though. Since I see this thread as a place of peace and rememberance, were everyone can just sit and think in silence of people gone. My question: Is it OK to post a Thumbs Up on this thread, I've avoided it lately as to not disturb mourners, and show respect. I have occasionally given a thumbs-up just to say "Thanks for the notice" but never thought it might be inappropriate. I will refrain from doing that until we see if we have anything approaching a consensus on this subject.

I think it's definitely okay although I've had the same thought, teleadm. If you look at separate remembrance threads on different boards, people often mark their respect with a simple thumbs up. I think a lot of people on imdb2 are probably caught up in the quick pace of life, or perhaps posting from work. Also, some people post using small mobile devices.

For me.. the thumbs up here has been like signing the guest book, acknowledging that I knew the person and appreciate the remembrance. If I have something to add … I do. Have always figured that's what others are doing as well and never felt it to be disturbing or inappropriate. My Not giving one has no significance , really.. sometimes do and sometimes don't is all. teleadm mikef6 petrolino

My question: Is it OK to post a Thumbs Up on this thread, I've avoided it lately as to not disturb mourners, and show respect. I'm glad you brought that up, because the same uncertainty has occurred to me every time I've "liked" one of these posts (and for the same reason mikef6 articulated above). But I say the hell with consensus, and simply state - or at least assume - we do so for just that reason. On those (very) odd occasions that someone may actually celebrate a passing, they're likely to put their two cents in about it anyway (more likely on the Politics board, it should be noted). As long as we're on the general topic, I'll add this: whenever I see this thread has bumped to the top of the page, I get a sudden feeling of dread ("Oh, no, who have we just lost?"). Still, I always click and cross my fingers that it isn't someone whose loss will devastate me.

It was last summer a friend of mine asked why I give Thumbs Up when someone dies, I said thanks for telling me, but friend said Thumbs Up sympol could also spell That you are happy they are dead.

Renowned romantic composer Francis Lai has died at the age of 86. An accomplished concert pianist who mastered the accordian, Lai often submitted personal music for films characterised by heightened emotions and intimate textures, making him a firm favourite of adventurous British directors like Peter Hall, Terence Young, Bryan Forbes, John Guillermin and Michael Winner. Back home in France, he worked on projects with Jean Delannoy, Rene Clement, Christian-Jacque, Michel Boisrond, Georges Lautner, Nadine Trintignant, Claude Zidi and Yves Boisset.
Lai developed an enduring creative partnership with filmmaker Claude Lelouch which saw them collaborate on numerous features during 52 years of art and friendship; audiences may hear new music recorded by Lai when Lelouch's upcoming project 'The Most Beautiful Years' (scheduled for 2019, Les plus belles années) is released. Lai also wrote hit pop songs and experimented with psychedelics.
Thanks for the music.
Francis Lai R.I.P.

Stan Lee, Legendary Comics Writer and Editor Who Co-Created the Marvel Universe, Dies at 95. Stan Lee, the legendary comic book writer and editor who helped redefine the medium when he co-created much of Marvel Comics’ vast library of characters and concepts, died Monday, according to THR. He was 95. Working alongside fellow comics titans like Steve Ditko and Jack Kirby during the 1960s, Lee was instrumental in sparking what became known as “the Marvel revolution,” a shift in superhero comics that emphasized flawed protagonists expressing humanistic values. Concepts and plots remained as colorful and weird as ever. But Marvel characters, written with complex, realistic personalities and mundane private lives, often had to resolve family, dating and even financial challenges while protecting the public from an increasingly packed roster of supervillains. This new approach to superhero comics debuted in “The Fantastic Four,” a team of superheroes presented as a dysfunctional but loving family unit that Lee co-created with Kirby in 1961.
