"Chad Comello: The Obituary"

Okay, so in English class today we had to make fake obituaries. I did one for myself but took some liberties with a few (read: all) facts. See if you can catch all of the movie references.

by Chad Comello

CHAD D. COMELLO
Chad David Comello, 99, an Academy Award-winning filmmaker and world
famous antiques collector, died Friday in a freak gasoline fight
accident.

Comello was born in Madison, Wis., and lived in New York City for
over 50 years. He wrote and directed over 20 films and opened a museum
for his collection of priceless antiques.

He was a member of the Writers Guild of America and League of
Ordinary Gentlemen. He also co-founded the Derek Zoolander Center for
Kids Who Can't Read Good and Want to Learn to Do Other Stuff Good Too.

Comello is survived by his wife, Strawberry; two sons, Biff Tannen
and Marty McFly of Hill Valley, Calif.; two daughters, Zuzu Bailey of
Bedford Falls and Bonnie Butler of Atlanta; two sisters, Lorraine
Baines and Clara Clayton of Hill Valley, Calif., a brother, William
Wallace of Scotland; and seven grandchildren, Adam, Benjamin, Caleb,
Daniel, Ephraim, Frank and Gideon.

A memorial service will be held at 10:04 p.m. Saturday at Twin Pines
Funeral Home. The remains will be cremated and scattered across the
space-time continuum.

The Comello family requests that gifts, preferably unmarked cash, be
sent to Strawberry Comello.

So...I've got Zoolander, It's a Wonderful Life, and Back to the Future. Surely I'm missing several. But thought I'd comment at least to say, "Hooray, Chad, for starting the Kindling Blog!"
