Nikki Finke in Los Angeles is reporting that actor Christopher Reeve is dead, according to sources close to the actor. He died suddenly Sunday. News of his death has not been reported publicly yet. His family will make an announcement Monday at the earliest. Reeve was just mentioned Friday in the second live presidential debate by John Kerry. Noting he was a friend of the paralysed Reeve, Kerry said he was in favor of further stem cell research because Reeve could walk again one day thanks to such science.... MORE...

Does Druge lose all of his credibility (yeah, I know) if this is false?

 

[Tenguman]

Not surprising really, but RIP

CNN doesn't have it... yet... though that would make #3.

Drudge doesn't have far to fall from a credibility perspective...

 

[B'z-chan]

He will be missed dearly. And in my eyes he should be layed to rest with the Superman suit and a Superman flag should always fly over him six feet above him.

 

[fennec fox]

I think the next Superman should be CG for the simple reason that it tends to mess up the careers of anyone who plays him.

 

[Star Power]

Quite sad if this is true..

 

[Brannon]

FUCK he was the first guy I ever idolized. EVER. Not an exaggeration.

Now I know how people felt when Rodney Dangerfield and Ray Charles and Frank Sinatra passed on.

Rest in peace good sir.

Writers of Smallville: THANKS FOR WAITING SO LONG TO FINISH UP THAT GODDAMN ANGLE

 

[Xenon]

Damn!.... Its was really cool to see him working again in Smallville.

Sad news =(

 

[Ecrofirt]

I guess Kerry won't be seeing him walking after all, unless...


ZOMBIE SUPERMAN

He has credibility to lose?

why do people always put "is dead"? what the hell ever happened to "passed away"?

 

[Meier]

I love how lefties always bash Drudge even though his site is probably the single best source on the internet for up to date major, and frequently exclusive, news.

As for the topic at hand, I can only think of the Our Lady Peace song.

 

[olimario]

why do people always put "is dead"? what the hell ever happened to "passed away"?

[quotes Patch Adams scene]
Passed away is a much softer, more pleasant term.
To go even softer, try 'is no longer with us' or 'has gone to a better place'.

 

[AlphaSnake]

I don't believe this shit. Fuck this. I don't believe an ounce of it. No! Just no!

 

[Catalyst]

Goddamn, people are dying left and right.

 

[belgurdo]

New Krytonite source?

 

[Rockman]

I refuse to believe this is true. Quick someone spin the earth in the opposite direction!

I love how lefties always bash Drudge even though his site is probably the single best source on the internet for up to date major, and frequently exclusive, news.

And just as frequently the source for totally dumb and unfounded rumors that get spread because Drudge really has no sense of accountability.

 

[Brannon]

Because "is dead" has more impact and force, and in the pussified nation we live in today, anything to skirt the passive PC language is a good thing.

 

[Escape Goat]

Goddamn, people are dying left and right.

People die every freaking day.

 

[AniHawk]

I REFUSE to believe this news.

 

[xsarien]

I want confirmation independent of Drudge.

 

[mattx5]

SON OF A -

FUCK NO -

FUCK!

FUUUCK!!!!

AAGGGGGGGHHH, right before I was about to hit the sack too......

Please don't be true.....

 

[Prince of Space]

Yeah, until Darkseid himself comes down and takes full responsibility for this, I don't believe this news.

 

[GLoK]

I really hope this is anything but true

 

[Catalyst]

People die every freaking day.

Yes, but more importantly are the ones who've played major roles in our modern history...this time being damn Christopher Reeve, Rodney Dangerfield, Ray Charles, etc. God rest all their souls. 'Tis a part of life I wish I could turn my back away from...so I guess it's a good time for the rhetoric "that's life"...

:\

 

[PartlyCloudlike]

I just heard it on my local news station. Superman was my idol when I was growing up only because Christopher Reeve was so brilliant in the role.

 

[mattx5]

This is looking to be more and more real

But how did he die so suddenly, I thought he was doing better? I don't see how anyone could've been expecting this....

supposedly "cardiac arrest"

 

[jett]

No. Just no.





....please no.

 

[xsarien]

CNN just went with the story.

God dammit.

 

[mattx5]

CNN just went with the story.

God dammit.

That does it I guess.

 

[Pochacco]

=(

 

[MrAngryFace]

probably from all the strain of forcing himself to breathe on his own.

 

[Matrix]

*crying*

Shit I was holding out hope Drudge was wrong.....

 

[cvxfreak]

It's official.

A screen came on during Boston Legal informing us of his death.

 

[XS+]

He was only 52. That blows. A lot of great actors passed this year.

 

[doncale]

RIP. poor guy

FNC too. I feel like a part of me has died. Really. I've always loved the Superman saga. I loved all three movies. I loved the Dean Cain series that used to air on ABC. I remember watching it on Nick at Night looong ago. This fucking sucks.

 

[OG_Original Gamer]

RIP, I just was thinking we were going to see him in another episode of Smallville. His episodes were my favorite.

You know no matter whoever plays Superman now, he will always be the person you think of when you think of any film about the man of steel.

 

[FortNinety]

You wouldn't believe how many people I knew from the world of acting who hated the man with passion. I've heard tons of stories of him (while he was acting and active of course) doing extremely underhanded, mean-spirited things against others in the field for no justifiable reason (give that he was world famous and all of them absolute nobodys). In fact, when the guy broke his neck, I know of at least two parties that were thrown to "celebrate" the event. Totally crazy...

Personally, I thought he was good. Superman was one thing, but Deathtrap has to be seen to believed. He was an excellent actor, which even his haters could not deny.
