Chantal Akerman has passed away. I've only seen News from Home and Hotel Monterey but I appreciated her unique style, even if it required patience.

http://blogs.indiewire.com/criticwire/chantal-akerman-pioneer-of-feminist-and-structuralist-film-is-dead-at-65-20151006

What's interesting about her personality is how she rejected the title of feminist film maker even though everyone wanted to put her in that box. Most obits you'll read today are quick to include that label in their descriptions of her. I remember hearing that she did not like doing "women's film festivals" and preferred regular festivals instead.

Setsuko Hara of many Ozu films. She retired from acting way back in 1962 and gave zero interviews or public appearances afterwards!

http://variety.com/2015/film/news/setsuko-hara-dead-yasujiro-ozu-muse-1201648540/

https://www.fandor.com/keyframe/daily-setsuko-hara-1920-2015

> In the postwar period, with directors such as Akira Kurosawa and Keisuke Kinoshita, Hara portrayed modern women unbound by shackles of feudal mores, with critics making comparisons to Katharine Hepburn and Joan Crawford. In her films with Ozu, such as “Late Spring” (1949), “Early Summer” (1951) and “Tokyo Story” (1953), she also embodied more traditional virtues, including a willingness to sacrifice for the well-being of others. At the same time, she gave the impression of acting from choice, not convention, as in her smiling devotion to the aged parents of her dead husband in “Tokyo Story.”

imdb hasn't even updated her profile yet - http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0361697/reference

the Grohl Oscars R.I.P. video is harder to find. I wonder if the Oscars or the Beatles are more vigilant about killing unauthorized links
