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.

Never mind I just did a google search and they were still shooting and it is shut down for now until they can figure out how to keep the franchise going

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
