Re: Paul Walker has died.
Exactly. If we're discussing someone who devoted their life to spreading hate, like a prominent KKK member or something, then totally, let's all say good riddance. But if someone takes drugs, why should that be a reason to say their death isn't sad or that people shouldn't mourn?

Re: Paul Walker has died.
Film wise? You had
Vic Morrow - Twilight Zone: The Movie
John Candy - Wagon's East!
the girl from Poltergeist - Poltergeist III
Brandon Lee - The Crow
Heath Ledger - The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus
Oliver Reed - Gladiator
I'm sure there are plenty of others. I think River Phoenix was filming something when he died.

Natalie Wood died during the filming of "Brainstorm." The resulting battle to finish it pretty much ended Douglas Trumbull's career as a theatrical film director.

Re: Paul Walker has died.
Who was he to be? Armand? I ask because I recall that Anne Rice was very vocal with her displeasure over the casting of Antonio Banderas and said that it should have been Leonardo DiCaprio instead.
To each his own. She has the body of an emaciated 10-year-old boy and a very gaunt, skeletal face.
Like I said, she looked cute (in a girl next door sort of way) in The Fast and the Furious but she was never hot. And she's certainly not hot these days, looking her all time worst.

Re: Paul Walker has died.
This is low.
Paul Walker's daughter does NOT have a public social media page ... and his reps have already shut down one site run by an impostor.
Multiple news outlets posted stories Sunday morning saying Paul's 15-year old Meadow Walker -- pictured above with her dad back in June -- paid tribute the actor on her Facebook page after the crash ... only problem, its run by a fake.
We're told Paul's people instantly sprung into action when they discovered the BS page ... and contacted Facebook to have it removed ... which they did.

Re: Paul Walker has died.
I'm not going to get any fans with this post, but here goes...
When I read that, it reminded me of the kind of memorial tweet I would see from previous co-stars or co-workers of someone well liked who just died.
Of course this could be chalked up to shock and not having the full weight sink in yet. And I don't like the idea of critiquing the behavior of someone in mourning.
But I can't get over the sensation of how odd it seems to me (admittedly, an old fart) to see a child tweeting a RIP post in the hours after the out of nowhere death of their parent, which at the same time is so articulate and poised as well.
I don't doubt that she loved him, and vice versa- it's just the sense of manageable distance that the articulation implies is striking to me.
But then I expect that perspective is par for the course with celebrity and/or wealthy 1% households.
OTOH, maybe this is just how adolescents process experiences now- everything they experience is merely grist for perfunctory social media dissemination.

Disgusting but unfortunately not surprising (in response to MrSmearkase's post).

Re: Paul Walker has died.
The pictures of Tyrese at the crash site are tugging at my heart strings, even though I wish he could've gone there in peace.
I guess when they said the Fast & Furious franchise was like family, they meant it.
