MadWorld for the Wii kind of reminds me of Sin City.

Saw this. Pretty surprising. The article made it sounds like it wasn't drugs, I'm curious to see what they find out.

**Slime Slayer** · 01-13-2010, 08:45 PM

Saw this too. I bought Life is a Song Worth Singing a few days ago. I love me some Teddy.

So it goes...

Also, I didn't know he was so young.

Today I must report that Zelda Rubinstein has passed away at the age of 76.

Those of us that are as old as myself will remember her as the psychic Tangina Barrons in the 1982 movie "Poltergeist" also parts 2 and 3.

Don't forget legendary author J.D.Salinger died today as well. Personally I hated his only novel, Catcher in the Rye, but it is one of the most well known books in recent history.

I never heard of him, no offense intended of course.

**StarfoxFan2009** · 01-31-2010, 11:53 PM

he played in the NFL for the Chicago Bears and the Tampa Bay Bucs. He had gotten traded to the Bears

**Dudebro** · 01-31-2010, 11:55 PM

Yeah I briefly looked him up after your first post to make sure I really didn't know who he was.

**Tails** · 02-01-2010, 10:02 AM

I didn't know either, but I was told about it. RIP Gaines Adams.

**RU Joe** · 03-04-2010, 02:08 PM

A friend of mine told me last night that Walter Koenig's son was here in Vancouver for the Olympics, and that he had gone missing shortly after they started.

They found him dead in Stanley Park, apparently having committed suicide.

I am saddened by this, but thought you guys would like to know.

**Tails** · 03-04-2010, 02:09 PM

RIP. (Don't we have a topic for this?)

**Dudebro** · 03-04-2010, 06:47 PM

Yeah I already heard about this when they were still searching for him. From the start of this they were pretty certain he was going to kill himself. He gave away his possessions and he sent a very despondent letter to his parents. After he missed a scheduled flight they knew something was wrong. I feel terrible for his father, he was nearby when they found the body(he went there to search).

Not to make light of the dead but I was shocked to find out that Chekovs son was Boner on Growing pains. Maybe being only known for a character like Boner had something to do with his depression? It sounds like he was trying to be an actor, must be a hard stigma to get past.

**Slime Slayer** · 03-04-2010, 07:20 PM

It's boner who died? r.i.p.

**RU Joe** · 03-04-2010, 11:11 PM

You know, DB, I think you really have something there when you said:

Immediately upon reading this I was reminded of The Mask starring Jim Carrey because the actor who played his co - worker at the bank killed himself {I don't remember when - he is on the left.}

Then there was Owen Wilson, who was apparently getting ready to commit suicide some years back, according to the headlines.

So I'm starting to think that being a Hollywood actor who is not a top box office seller is a very tough life to lead.
I really do wonder; the way they portray that lifestyle like it's heaven on Earth, and something we should all be envious of...
and then to see the misery of the reality of the situation...

Not many of them seem very happy, come to think of it.

**Dudebro** · 03-04-2010, 11:57 PM

I don't know his name but I recognize that guy next to Jim Carrey. I think Owen Wilson was depressed because he's known for being a subpar actor that most people mock openly.

**Smittycal** · 03-05-2010, 12:02 AM

I just read that Randy Savages (Macho Man) father passed. His name was Angelo Poffo and was also a wrestler and promoter back in the 50's till the 80's. I remember watching WCW and seeing him do a stroy line w/ Randy while he was there.

**Slime Slayer** · 03-05-2010, 12:46 AM

Holy crap my heart skipped a beat there, I thought you were saying macho man died. rip none the less.

**Dudebro** · 03-05-2010, 12:54 AM

I know right? I thought Macho died and I almost shed a tear. Not that I don't feel bad about his dad though.
