ellestra: (winged)
So I came back and I learned that Bob Hoskins died yesterday. It feels so wrong as we just watched Who Framed Roger Rabbit? - the only film we saw during our trip on TV - because we all love it and it still looks good after all these years. But then I realised that it has been all these years - it came out in 1988 - and time passes for everyone and I'm no longer a kid and I knew Bob Hoskins had Parkinsons and I just chose not to think about it. I loved that he mixed up very serious roles (he also played both Beria and Khrushchev which I still find amusing) with the ones that defined a lot of our childhoods - Eddie Valiant, Smee and even Mario for many (even though he hated it). I was always looking forward to seeing him in a new movie. I wish it didn't have to end so soon.
