Another one? A few days ago we just lost three people in the industry. What the hell is wrong with this year?

I don't watch dub much but RIP Melissa Mathison, my condolence and prayers to her family.

Seriously, screw you 2015. Sincere the rest of the world.

She was relatively young, and both her kids are younger than me. My thoughts are with her family.

Three deaths in less than a week and now this??? Sad 2015 is indeed a tragic year.

R.I.P. Mrs. Mathison. Your screenwriting has contributed to Ponyo, E.T., and others being fun for families to watch.

Boy, I remember Indian and the Cupboard. That was a decent film, I had fun with it as a kid. My wife and I loved Ponyo and saw that in theaters when it got released. RIP Melissa Mathison!

How sad to hear. She will be missed for sure. Her script for E.T. was phenomenal.

Farewell Ms. Mathison, E.T is legendary and I enjoyed Ponyo and I'm looking forward to The BFG.
