Nope. Just simple, normal, non-Hollywood physics.Epic_Bubble said:
Most cars are designed to crush to reduce the danger of a crash. Get one of those fuckers fast enough, and they can literally wrap themselves around a tree.
On the first day of Christmas Hollywood gave to me... an actor wrapped around a tree?
The jokes write themselves here.
Will Orlando Bloom be killed in an archery accident? Vin Diesel falls down a flight of stairs in the dark? Hugh Laurie overdoses on prescription medicine?
Sucks he's dead but after looking at those pictures I can't help but think this was caused by reckless driving... at least they hit a tree and not pedestrians.

Those average no-names don't make impacts on people through media and charity events. Haven't seen a single movie this guy was in but he's probably done more for the average person than anyone on this forum ever will, so no, I don't think he deserved it.hot-soup said:
Unless somebody is actually driving the car and is acting like a right twat I don't know if I'd say anyone deserves to die in a random car crash. So maybe show a little empathy for someone who in forty years of life has helped more people than we will in our entire lifetimes combined.
Well, at least there is some good to come out of this. Not really worth a life though. It's got to be weird for the people editing the movie he was just filming too, although it isn't the first time someone has died before something was finish (Bruce Lee for example).
All of this.shrekfan246 said:
My cousin's girlfriend died six weeks ago. She spent her summer doing voluntary work at animal sanctuaries. She was studying to get back into college (I helped her with the maths bit). She was helping another cousin move out; she went to bed, had a pulmonary embolism and was probably dead within five minutes. She was 18.
And outside of family, friends and a couple of local people who knew her, pretty much nobody gave a shit. I guarantee that not one starving child in Africa gave a damn, and why would they? She had no presence out there.
We cared. People in her presence cared. Actors and such have larger presences than most, so more people are likely to feel something.
I can't say I followed him at all beyond the Fast and Furious movies, but I grew to really enjoy those and was eagerly awaiting the next installment. He may not have been the most gifted actor around, but he clearly did seem to excel in specific roles that were suited to his abilities.
I guess you could say that being around a charity event and dying in a vehicle accident might be "dying doing what you love" but it's still very unfortunate, especially given his age and the family he leaves behind.
Sad news to be sure.

I wondered how long it would be before the death hipsters turned up.stormeris said:
"I don't have any sympathy for this guys family because that would be too mainstream."
"I mourn thousands of peoples deaths, you've just probably never heard of them..."
Thank you for letting us all know how much better than us you all are, because instead of having sympathy for one guys family, you have sympathy for THOUSANDS!
OT: SO sad, my condolences go out to his family, they must be heartbroken. Always a tragedy when someone dies needlessly young.
That said:
I'm gonna burn in hell, aren't I?
Okay, it's been a day since this. Time for the horrible puns!
I guess he died as he lived.
Shouldn'ta been so fast or furious.
I hope his death was fast, because that is one furiously smashed car.
Maybe this time he should have followed his surname rather than his movies.
Ayup, 1st class ticket on the highway to hell booked.

What I find most "interesting" about this, is the sheer amount of people pointing out that it's ironic he died in a car crash and/or use the
> pun "Too Fast too Furious" like it's a: not glaringly obvious and every 5 year old could of come up with that one (and probably has) - b: like it is actually that ironic (like people who've made films about guns, haven't been shot, or others that made films about cars haven't died in a car crash etc.) - c: a million other people won't have pointed it out already, because it is just that obvious a thing to say - d: somehow makes them funny and really needs sharing with the world.
Just like the post above mine, basically. Look - feels the need to use the "Too Fast..." line (wishing it was a pun) even though like 10 others have said exactly the same thing...
Shows you the intelligence/creativity of people who tend to post online.

I know but it broke the atmosphere. And it just seems like they're milking the franchise, but I haven't seen any after four, so I suppose I should check the others out to be fair to it. I just assumed it was like Assassin's Creed and CoD.spoonybard.hahs said:
I will remember fondly the tuna scene and the part where he hands Dom the keys at the end. R.I.P.
I liked the first movie, yeah. The rest were totesterone-fueled bilge.
I don't believe any loss of human life is good; even if you're a murderer/rapist/identity-thief/kidnapper, you deserve the worst fate, but not death.
His family has my condolensces.

Mam, what's up with the influx of generally shitty people on the Escapist?
And yes people, we get it. A star of a car movie has died in a car crash. Now you can stop repeating "IRONY!" 3 pages in.
OT: I was only recently warming up to the F&F series with the last installment. My condolences to his family.

Criticizing others people post without actually providing anything else but said critical analysis is not exactly creative.MonkeyPunch said:What I find most "interesting" about this, is the sheer amount of people pointing out that it's ironic he died in a car crash and/or use the> pun "Too Fast too Furious" like it's a: not glaringly obvious and every 5 year old could of come up with that one (and probably has) - b: like it is actually that ironic (like people who've made films about guns, haven't been shot, or others that made films about cars haven't died in a car crash etc.) - c: a million other people won't have pointed it out already, because it is just that obvious a thing to say - d: somehow makes them funny and really needs sharing with the world.

But anyways, RIP, as much as i hate his acting a man doesn't deserve to die for that, so i am actually sad about his death.
true, most cars these days are built to crunch/compact in accidents, back in the day if you had a nice car you could fucking destroy a tree.Super Not Cosmo said:
OT: sad story, although they had to have been going pretty damn fast for the car to look like that, let alone have it catch fire.
I guess a lot of the people in this thread are just 2edgy4me!
Nobody's asking you to take a day in mourning and cry about it, but for fuck's sake, people need to stop massaging their pseudo-intellectualism boners by shitting on the death of someone just because he's famous.
This isn't /b/, people. Talking out of your ass isn't prerequisite.
