Can you name 2 people who got shot in the back of the head in a theatre? Abraham Lincoln and the guy standing in front of Pee Wee Herman.

His death scene in the Buffy the Vampire Slayer movie will always be one of my favorites.

God damn is the average lifespan in Hollywood like 55 years old or something?

At first I thought "At least he lived a long life" until it occured to me that 70 is only "hollywood" old, he should have had another 15-20 years in the tank.

Cancer knows no age limits.

Yea, and there are no guarantees that we will live to 90. I just had a friend who passed away at 44. It was cancer. My mom passed away at 64.

As you get older you start noticing that the people you grew up with on TV, or IRL start passing away. And realize the shortness of life. The impermenance of it all.

What really makes me sad is your whole world is based upon familiar faces...celebrities you enjoy as you grow up shape your life. As they die off, eventually you have no more roots to your past. It's kind of debasing. A good 80% of my childhood heroes are already dead.
