Will they though? Like, if you had told me Mel Brooks died 5 years ago and I just missed/forgot about it, I wouldn't be shocked. Mel Brooks and Clint Eastwood are old as shit. Shit, Mel is, and Clint almost is, part of the Greatest Generation. You know, the one that comes before the Silent Generation, which was before the Boomers. They're both almost 100 years old.
If someone 100 years old dying "hurts" because it was somehow a major part of your upbringing, you're old as shit too and everyone around you is already dying.
