RIP Jaws

First Ourumov and now Jaws. I cannot believe this tragic news. It is unfathomable.

This has been a gloomy month for the GoldenEye speedrunning community.

The most recognizable set of teeth in cinema history. And he almost played Darth Vader but turned it down to play Jaws.

RIP

Craziness. I loved him in Happy Gilmore
nothin' moves me more than a groove that soothes me
nothin' soothes me more than a groove that boosts me
nothin' boosts me more, or suits me beautifully
there's nothin' you can do to me; stab me, shoot me

Richard Kiel lived in my hometown of Oakhurst, CA. His son used to play basketball at the local high school with my older cousin. I went up to him at one of the games when I was 7 or so and shook hands with him. We'd often see him driving around town in his custom van. I didn't realize he was 74 this year.

He was very kind, very friendly to a small kid, and very, very intimidating.

I wanted to share a picture of my grandpa and grandma with him, May 1987.
