Great actor, I always enjoyed films just a little more when he was in them.

That's sad news, indeed.

It all seems so stupid, it makes me want to give up!
But why should I give up, when it all seems so stupid?

I don't mean to sound callous, but why is it so sad when someone dies of old age? Nobody lives forever, and Eli Wallach had a long and successful life. There is good reason to remember him for all the great roles that he played. We should be sad when people leave us before their time. When they leave us after a full life we should be happy for what they gave us. If you think that not dying is something to wish for, you should see “The Asphyx”...

So, if one of your relatives dies, you are not sad if they reached a certain age? Then you just say: "Hey, she/he lived a good life." ?

Of course it's different with people that you have a personal relation to. I thought that was obvious enough that I wouldn't have to mention it.

Thanks! I was thinking the same thing.  It's obviously sad for those who knew him.  But not for me.  The man lived well past the average age for men.  He had a successful career.  Near as I can tell, he didn't suffer horribly.  So what is there to be sad about?  We all have to go sometime.  Speaking for myself, I'd be thrilled to make it to 98!

I might not be happy that he's dead, but I'm certainly not going to be sad about it.  I'll remember him as a great actor who had a full life.

It is not so sad that he has passed.  What is sad is another great is gone and the golden age of Hollywood has shrunk a little more.  When we lose people who helped make Hollywood great, it is very sad.  The people they call actors today are not like they were in the golden age.  He is another piece of history which is now lost to the ages.  I am not sad he is gone as mentioned he lived a very long life.  I am sad a little part of me died as I grew up watching him.  He was what a bad guy should be.  On that note;

Once I rob a bank in Texas. Your government get after me with a whole army. Whole army! One little bank. In Texas, only Texans can rob banks.
