Jul 25 2007RIP, 'Lives of Others' Dude

Ulrich Muhe, star of The Lives of Others (Das Leben der Anderen), is dead of stomach cancer today at the age of 54. It's a bummer, because I thought he gave one of the best performances in one of the best movies of last year.
On the plus side, at least he went out on top - starring in an Oscar-winning, bona-fide hit. Poor Raul Julia, his last film was Street Fighter. They even dedicated it to him. What a crappy epitaph. Let this be a lesson to you, Cuba Gooding.

sweet. I'm sure the relevant families appreciate and are deeply touched by your overwhelming concern.

With Ulrich, one of the best German actors of this time died (on Sunday, actually).
All there is left to say for me is: Mögest du in Frieden ruhen.
