Don’t forget the “Spalding Gray thread every hour on the hour” rule we had instituted for a while.
I was thinking of starting a thread in the pit about all the references to Superman Christopher Reeve being dead. That was the title of the CNN.com story this morning. I understand that the guy is famous for starring as Superman but it’s not like there are multiple famous people named Christopher Reeve and we will be confused if you don’t somehow reference Superman.
Who the fuck is Spalding Gray?
I’d love to see multiple threads on the same topic closed, but my guess is that might offend the OP when different venues are involved.
Pot, meet Kettle.
To Otto, who started this thread:
Do a fucking search
He was an actor/ writer who killed himself last winter. Here are some of the Cafe Society threads he inspired. IIRC there were others in GQ as well.
So how many “Jacques Derrida died!” threads are there right now?
I’d do a search, but I’m too busy surfing for Catholic schoolgirl bondage porn.
Wow, double whoosh.
Hey, what a coincidence! Should we start a Cafe Society thread on this?
What, the first thing or the second?
I’m so proud, it’s a new personal best.
That’s such a good topic that I have a strong desire to go to Great Debates and open it.
Honest question.
What’s worse, multiple threads on the death of a celebrity in every forum, or a pit thread bitching about a multiple threads on the death of a celebrity in every forum whenever a celebrity dies?
Honestly, you can count on a thread like this as surely as you can count on the sun rising in the east.
Christopher Reeves died?
I did post in THAT thread in Cafe Society, but it was more of a lame Tarantino joke to lighten the mood. It’s somewhere near the end - sorry, haven’t figured out how to link threads yet.
Who the fuck is Christopher Reeves?
According to IMDB, he was the sound guy on X-Files:
I may be wrong, but I don’t think he is dead yet.
Um, so the answer to blowero’s question is “no”?
Ah thanks, I knew I heard that name before.
