Good for you liking Xanadu. Really. I’m glad it pleases someone. But it’s no SITR!

I also like Xanadu, but I don't view it with rose-tinted glasses and have called it bad in the past.

We knew it was coming, but it's still so weird. She's been monarch (and MY queen, too, as a citizen of Canada) obviously for my whole life. She did a great job, always the epitome of grace and proper-ness.
I actually performed for her in 1986, when my high school band was selected to play at a dedication ceremony here in town. It was October, and unusually cold for that time of year (well below freezing), but of course it was an honour.

Cool story!
So going by my math, she reigned for 45% of Canada's History.

A British icon with his own touching goodbye to The Queen:
The same words he said at the end of their time together in that video for her Platinum Jubilee celebration. Too sweet.Paddington wrote:Thank you Ma’am, for everything.

Country music legend Loretta Lynn has died at the age of 90. Sad news. Love Coal Miner's Daughter, the film and the song. So many timeless classics. Definitely a loss.

Dame Angela Lansbury has passed away at age 96, 5 days short of her 97th birthday. A witch, a tea pot, a sleuth, tales as old as time. ![Crying or Very sad :cry:](./images/smilies/icon_new_cry.png)

Very, very sad here. A great age, and obviously not unexpected, but one of those flames that one doesn’t feel will ever be extinguished. She was a lot more than a lot of outlets are mentioning, too: why is no-one remembering Mrs Lovett!?
RIP Miss Price, among many, many other memorable roles. You always lit up the stage or screen, no matter how big or small.

Among her hundreds of roles were turns in holidays classics, such as The First Christmas: The Story of the First Christmas Snow, The Gift of Love: A Christmas Story, Mrs. Santa Claus and Buttons. Many of which are Christmas staples for me.

Ironic, too, that we just have a new Mrs Harris Goes To Paris in cinemas here, which of course she already also played (as Mrs 'Arris, naturally) twenty years ago! Although not really a Christmas title, it still has that same kind of warmth, as so many of her later roles do.

If you think about it, this has been a sad year for the Disney Renaissance. First Gilbert Gottfried, then Pat Carroll and now Angela Lansbury. What's eerie is they are separated by two months! (April/July/October)
