And then when they die we make an even bigger spectacle of their death.

OK so Christopher Reeve wore a big S and a cape as a character named Superman. Someone else wore the cape long before he did so he wasn't even the original Superman. What else did he do that was so exceptional that you know about without searching on Google?

Its fucking weird the way we do this. I've met lots of actors and actresses when I lived in LA for 16 years, and in person they are just regular people like you and I. They wear jeans. They pee and take a dump. They eat 3 meals a day. Most aren't even very smart as in genius level smart.

Now we all have to listen to day of worship for an actor that will be on all the morning shows, all the news channels, etc. etc.

Hahaha as I typed this CNN interrupts with BREAKING NEWS.

Anyone else burned out on this crazy ritual?

WTF? Who cares if he was Superman or not, if anything I probably watched only 1 movie with him.

That's not the point.

The point is his story. He gave hope to people who were in his situation. He didn't gave up, he had a strong will. He was a great person. Thta's what matters.
