I know I'm an incredibly morbid person for looking this up but this is the current IMDB death count for the past 10 years

 

2015 - 4064

2012 - 3917

2014 - 3793

2011 - 3780

2013 - 3764

2010 - 3676

2016 - 3645

2009 - 3574

2008 - 3527

2007 - 3283

 

It's actually not looking so bad with three days left

After re watching Postcards on The Edge - the joke crossed my mind more than once.  Debbie would have shot back that she knew Carrie would eventually be the death of her.  Then they would have laughed their asses off.

Meryl's presenting In Memorium again this year. Book it.

Kirk Douglas turned 100 this month. He has to be on the watch list. I'm rooting for him to keep going for a long time. 

 

And yet he said the hardest thing about being 100 was being lonely because so many of his friends have died.

This is a long list, BTW:

 

Celebrity Deaths in 2016: In Memoriam of the Famous Figures Who Died This Year

 

And that's probably an incomplete list.

Just saw that list, we truly lost some legends in various fields sports, music, movies, politics and etc.  This year can't end soon enough.

And this wasn't even two years ago. Jesus.

One of my most memorable Debbie Reynolds moments is when she guest starred in Wings has the mother of the lead female character. Her and her daughter will be missed.

It's just because everything is magnified through social media lens so every celebrity death feels like a gut punch when 30 years ago, few of them made the headlines worldwide and most of the times we (as Gen X and Y) didn't grew up with them being part of our lives but someone living in the eighties could have said the same when every Hollywood's 30's/40's/50's superstars died left and right.

 

And most of all, the fact that it finally dawns on all of the people who grew up with baby boomers celebrities that they have to go someday because obviously there were more superstars from that generation whose careers spanned several decades still impacting our generation's collective memory as well. So brace yourself, the baby boomers hecatomb is just getting started.

 

Yep, the celebrity deaths are just a microcosm of what's happening with the Baby Boomer generation. Where it starts to hit home is when we realize these celebrities are a similar age to our parents.

I just thought they were plastic cups. Regular plastic cups.

They are.

 

Iconic regular plastic cups. The regular plastic cups of choice for modern college debauchery.

Not just the Baby Boomers, but the Silent and Greatest Generations are having their last breath as well.

 

2016 is just a sneak preview of the next decade or so.

Quality over quantity imo not to mention does every singer now have IMDB pages? I don't think so.
