2008 sucks, can 2009 be better please?

Don't taunt 2008, it's been an asshole to cool celebrities so far.

[Teffy]

really the wife of someone famous who did some voice acting gets the 2008 treatment? I hear Steven Spielberg's poolboy died, lets make him a thread.

[Qalbert]

^fuck you, Majel is a saint. I beat off to "Computer voice"once a night for a year. =(
(no offense intended /sarcasm etc)

She was Lwaxana Troi. God damn it. >(

[BRP]

[Priran]

Your ignorance offends the hardcore geek in me! (unless I'm being wooshed)

in addition to being the computer voice, she also played in ALL 5 series, Earth Final Conflict, B5, and a bunch of other movies/tv shows.
In addition to producing and writing several.
No one probably knows how much she influenced the shows during the past 40'ish years, but probably quite a bit.

I could go on, but I suspect I'm already showing myself to be way too much of a trekkie/trekker/whateveryouwanttocallit

I knew us trekkies would be hit RIP I swear, I found her kinda hot when she was first on TNG >_>

[Olo401]

She also was a recurring character in the original series - Nurse Chapel. Nice legs.

Curse you 2008.. I'll be so happy when your cruel visage is torn away in a couple weeks.

Oh for fuck's sake who's next!?!?

lol yeah that might not be a bad idea when 2008 is over. Let's see, off the top of my head:

George Carlin, Heath Ledger, Bernie Mac, Isaac Hayes, Don LaFontaine, Estelle Getty, Bettie Page, Miriam Makeba, Tim Russert, Roy Scheider, Paul Newman, and now Majel Roddenberry. That's TWELVE fucking awesome people.

And that's not even counting the NIU shootings and Jennifer Hudson's family being murdered...

Tonberries

sadly the 1st thing I thought when i read the name.

[Khamsin]

Tonberries with gatlings on their arms?

[Hellfury]

Blasphemy!

Fuck you dude, Majel Barrett was THE computer voice for Star Trek and rocked Lwaxana Troi in TNG. Have some respect.

Might as well bitch about Don LaFontaine being praised while you're at it.

I predict Charlie Kaufman and Wes Anderson dead before the new year.

[Hellfury]

In the interest of cosmic balance, how is Uwe Boll's health?

[TacoTaru]

Peachy, he has a film festival dedicated to him going on in some LA convention center.
