Death of Paul Walker and Fast and Furious franchise

Paul Walker is an actor I admired in his roles from Varsity Blues to The Skulls to Joy Ride to the more successful Fast and Furious franchise.

You probably heard of how he died in a Porsche and maybe even seen words falsely attributed to him saying "if i die in a car, don't cry" or something to that effect.

Probably goes without saying, I never met him, but did know a few things about him like he was 40 years old dating a 23 for the last seven years whom was planning to adopt his 15 year old daughter and one of the many generous stories like the one about him paying for a soldiers fiance's ring .

I'm reminded of The Crow which featured an actor I also liked, Brandon Lee who died during the filming of it.

The question some fans are asking now is what happens to his character in Fast Furious franchise? One suggestion redoing the script to have he and Jordana Brewster's character and child are off living happily ever after. Essentially eliminating him from the franchise.

Regardless of what they do, I am hoping the movie is opened with the cast and crew saying a few words in memory of him IF they proceed to make a movie, which I think they will.

I only saw one of Paul's movies. Eight Below. I liked it and thought he did a good job. I don't know why but I have never seen and of the FF movies. Probably because I let my wife pick most of the shows on tv. I rarely pay attention to it. I doubt I would miss it if we didn't have the satellite dish.

Seems like he was a good man.

edit- I just noticed that I also saw Pleasantville. oh boy!

The studio announced Wednesday that the film will shut down "for a period of time so we can assess all options available to move forward with the franchise."

The seventh installment of the street car racing series had begun shooting in September. While much of "Fast & Furious 7" has been filmed, it's far from complete.

The drive in was just the backdrop to their weekend conversation.

I asked why she (and thus I) have never seen any of the other movies. She said "who wants to see a bunch of adolescent boys in car races and car chase scenes?" ahh. Yep we are old. Well there is netflix streaming. I have not really given them much thought one way or another. I guess I will have to do what I do with Band of Brothers. Watch them when she is gone on Mondays to her kitting meeting.

If you are going to watch one and only one, make it the first one. It is not a bunch of adolescents and car scenes. My gosh is that an insult to the franchise and an uninformed opinion! Wait til I see her next time!! lol

Zero2Cool (18h) : Tua’s old DC won a Super Bowl Year 1 with Tua’s former backup

Mucky Tundra (20h) : *winning MVP

Mucky Tundra (21h) : Funny observation I've heard: Carson Wentz was on the sideline for both Eagles Super Bowl wins w/guys supposed to be his back up winning

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : NFL thought it would get more attention week preceding Super Bowl.

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Yes, the Pro Bowl. It was played Sunday before Super Bowl from 2010-2022

packerfanoutwest (10-Feb) : pro bowl

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : From 2010 to 2022, it was played on the Sunday before the Super Bowl

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : They moved it to the BYE week before Super Bowl several years ago.

packerfanoutwest (10-Feb) : it was always after the SB.....

beast (10-Feb) : Though I stop following pro bowl years ago

beast (10-Feb) : I thought the pro game was before the Super Bowl?

packerfanoutwest (10-Feb) : ok now for the Pro Bowl Game in Hawaii

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : If I was Philly I would try to end it instead of punting it

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : VICTORY! We have (moral) victory!

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Hey they mentioned that we 3-peted

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : seems to me the 49ers should have traded Aiyuk when they had the chance

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : if the Eagles get it down to the 1, do they Tush Push or give it to Barkley?

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : 49ers have a money problem if they want to sign their QB

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Wait for real? Didn't he just get an extension two years ago?

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : 49ers gonna trade Deebo. Interesting

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Replays always never seem to show the holdings

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Great throw by Hurts

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Where Carter falls prey to bad off the field influences (to be clear, not saying he'd clip someone though)

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Had Carter not gone to Philly were they already had a lot of old college friends, he ends up in a similar spot to Aaron Hernandez

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : I think some of his coaches told scouts to stay away

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : the street racing incident+conditioning and motivation problems

beast (10-Feb) : Then Carter was street racing, where the other car crashed and people died... and other teams were scared to pick Carter for some reason

beast (10-Feb) : I think the Saints traded up, giving their next year 1st to the Eagles, and then they sucked and Eagles got the 10th overall pick

packerfanoutwest (10-Feb) : wtf Barkley?

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Getting Carter and Nolan Smith in the first round in 2023 was pretty darn good

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : for some reason i'm thinking of a draft where the Eagles where in the mid 20s and a top player fell all the way to them

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : I think so. I would need to look it up. Think it may have been Carolina's pick.

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : i'm not sure who i'm thinking of now

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : oh fuck me i messed that up

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Jordan Davis was 13th overall

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Carter was 9th overall

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Eagles had 15th and 10th selections, moved to 13 and 9 to get Davis and Carter back to back

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Eagles traded up for Carter, didn't they?

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Obviously he was a huge risk but getting a top 5 talent on the dline in the mid 20s is fortuitous

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Jalen Carter falling into their lap certainly helps

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : And we could only wish to have this type of D

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : It's not like Philly has had low draft picks, but has managed to get themselves a top notch pass rush. We spend so much draft capital of D

packerfanoutwest (10-Feb) : another crap halftime show

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : I think it is over, but then I think of Atlanta and want Philly to go in with the same intensity in the second half

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : And with a Pass Rush that might as well be on a milk cartoon and no Jaire

Martha Careful (10-Feb) : I cant help but feel good about how well the Packers D played in Philly during the playoffs

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : this game is over

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : This might be the kill shot here
