I-n-j-i-n Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 What's strange was that the day before, news about Bernie Mac was "don't worry, it's only Pneumonia, media is making too big a fuss about it" and now this. Talk about ironic. And sad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strike911 Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 I loved the Bernie Mac Show... this makes me sad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malaki-LEGEND.sys Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 Not to open up fresh wounds, but what did Bernie say about Obama that riled up so many people to the point of fake death reports? At any rate, I didn't follow Bernie Mac as a devoted fan, same as George Carlin or Richard Pryor, but I had seen a lot of his comedy and movies. To me, just knowing that there WAS a Bernie Mac along with other comedians like him made me feel like things were still being done right for the art, and Bernie was definitely one of those that had a large(har har) presence when he was doing his thing. When I read about this last night, I was in some serious disbelief. 50-years-old? That's way too young for a guy like him. I know I'll miss him I'll be hitting up youtube to watch some of his stuff later today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broken Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 This is strange because some friends of mine and I were watching Bernie Mac's Def Comedy Jam acts on youtube only about a week ago. His stage presence was amazing and his style has certainly been refined over the years. He successfully made the transition from edgy stand-up to main stream family comedian without really losing himself. He has certainly left us with a great body of work but it's still a shame the Mr. Mac left us so prematurely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Legendary Zoltan Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 You just beat me to it Broken. His stand up was extremely funny and most of all, the stage presence was unbelievable. He was one of my favorite comedians, too. I hope he's somewhere better now. R.I.P. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It basically was a genuine mistake on his part. Should've seen that coming when you're endorsing a candidate and politics will start creeping in. I never was a real fan of Bernie Mac, but I thought he had a pretty good, awkward presence in the movies he was in. Too bad most of the movies were either fluff or just shit.

Malaki-LEGEND.sys Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 So he was endorsing Obama, but people had a cow? Or was it the other way around? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I-n-j-i-n Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 No, he was endorsing Obama. But he was cursing and doing all sorts of low brow type of humor. Not something that would go well for something meant for a more family oriented rally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salluz Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 "CHICAGO - Bernie Mac, the actor and comedian who teamed up in the casino heist caper "Ocean's Eleven" and gained a prestigious Peabody Award for his sitcom "The Bernie Mac Show," died Saturday at age 50."Actor/comedian Bernie Mac passed away this morning from complications due to pneumonia in a Chicago area hospital," his publicist, Danica Smith, said in a statement from Los Angeles." http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080809/ap_on_en_mo/obit_bernie_mac This is....just not right Man, that crushed me, and before I heard, I was talking about him with my brothers. Coincidences are something else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Lime Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 Ironic that on the day of his death, my friend's band said "We dedicate this show to Bernie Mac. He died this morning." They were joking, but no one was the wiser. Sad that he died. I loved him in the "Ocean's" movies. RIP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vidilian Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 Man, that upcoming film "Soul Men" must be cursed or something. Bernie Mac and Isaac Hayes are dead. If Samuel L. Jackson goes I'll be really freaked out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
