www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/john-singleton-coma-stroke-1204804Get well sir! Always kind of liked the guy. I wouldn't call his better movies great films, but still, Boyz n the Hood is a seminal film for Black Cinema, and there are very good things in Poetic Justice, Higher Learning and Rosewood. I always admired Four Brothers, my kind of pulp stories, probably his last really good work. Hope he gets well soon and has some more movies in him.

Yeah, this doesn't sound good.
Seems to be following the same pattern as Luke Perry's stroke announcements. First they made it sound like a relatively minor thing where he'd be out of hospital walking about in a few weeks. Next thing you know, Perry is dead.
They were making Singletons stroke sound minor last week...now it's major and he's in a coma. Hope he gets out of this, but preparing for the worst.

That’s terrible. Singleton is a hit-or-miss filmmaker but Boyz n the Hood will always have a special place in my heart. And I’ve been really enjoying Snowfall. I’m hoping for the best but this doesn’t sound good.

On life support and non-responsive per TMZ. Doesn’t sound good at all.

That truly sucks (way too young ) RIP to Mr Singleton . Will always love Boyz in the Hood.
"Singleton is the youngest person ever to receive an Academy Award nomination for Best Director (at age 24) (1992)."

Damn. Figured this was coming but still sad to hear. I wasn’t alive when Boyz n the Hood came out but I’ve heard so much about how impactful it was at the time. He was committed to telling stories that other filmmakers weren’t telling.
