This is sad news of Jobsian proportions. The highlight of the deadly dull comic movies of late was Stan’s cameo. REALLY going to miss that. Hope they have a digital Stan, because if I have to watch one of these movies with my friends, I need something to look forward to. His genius and body of work speak for themselves, just not the movies, for me at least.
