RIP Mario.
Watching my Blu-Ray of Who Framed Roger Rabbit tonight. R.I.P. Eddie.
Stopping by to pay respects. R.I.P.
Was just watching Roger Rabbit on Netflix.
That movie is pretty fucking insane. Real weird. Real fucking weird.
will be bustin out the WFRR DVD tonight. RIP Bob.
Fuck the haters. He brought a unique charm to Mario despite it being a genuinely horrible movie.
R.I.P. Bob
The Super Mario Brothers movie!
Hahahaha, I mentioned it!
>:)
(I honestly even forgot he was in the Super Luigi Bros. movie. Then again, like most people, I’ve kinda blocked out that movie’s existence from my head for the most part.)
Well…this sucks. [/understatement]
I’d been thinking about Who Framed Roger Rabbit? rather recently too, though for some reason his name didn’t immediately bring that or anything else to mind. I wasn’t aware that he had Parkinson’s (considering I don’t follow any celebrity). That’s unfortunate.
It makes me wonder how Michael J. Fox’s health is doing even though he’s a younger guy…
Regardless, may Hoskins rest in peace.
I saw the news today about his passing today, too.
What struck me was, "Who the hell dies today of pneumonia?"
It’s bad enough that he was my Dad’s age – also 71 this year and a BIG reminder of mortality, too – but dying of pneumonia…?
Then I got patiently reminded in print that Hoskins had been sick for the past couple of years but plenty of people live with Parkinson’s Michael J. Fox being another famous example.
I dunno… this death just seemed to come so unexpectedly and so shockingly.
I didn’t remember SMB and frankly don’t care about the idiocy expressed over one bad film. Hoskins was the BEST PART of “Who Framed Roger Rabbit” and a great comic foil to Dustin Hoffman in “Hook.” Those are the roles I’ll remember him for on top of him being a seemingly good fellow in real life.
It’s not just nostalgia, this is a legit good movie. I love williams but he was the worst part of the film despite being the star. I’d have watched a whole film of nothing but Smee and Hook.
Best scene in the whole film:
WRONG YOU MOTHERFUCKER!
There was only ONE Mario, and he’s been dead for a while now…

Holy shit! I didn’t know that was Captain Lou!
Anyways, R.I.P. Bob
Don’t jinx it man.
What makes the role he did in roger rabbit all the more memorable was how well he interacted with cartoon characters… And on top of that the ability to have BOTH Disney and WB characters in the same movie… Doubt such a movie will ever be made again… Just wish they had Roger Rabbit be more out there in the parks. Onlu pops out during easter…
Well that is sucky news. RIP Bob.
Looks like it is tme for me to show my 3 year old the greatness which is Who Framed Roger Rabbit.
Great actor though, RIP.
To be fair, Hoskins died to pneumonia, which is fairly common for the elderly. Not sure exactly how he got pneumonia though.
It’s okay, Bob, we understand. In a related story, there was an interview or story about Dennis Hopper talking to his son. Hopper’s son asked why Hopper was in such a horrible movie like Super Mario Bros., and Hopper replied to his son that he did it to put shoes on the boy’s feet.
RIP
Anybody that says Super Mario Bros was the worst film he had any part in never seen Son of the Mask. I’d watch SMB a 100 times before that piece of shit.
dude
goomba’s in suits. Dennis Hopper as Bowser. HUMAN Bowser.
