He is from New Zealand you dork.

Zoe Bell is from New Zealand.

So is that stupid Lorde chick.

She's the one with that terrible song, right?

Yes.

He is from New Zealand you dork.

I would think you would be the last person to be super, super racist, Mr. Spic.

The pro-Urbanites are a nasty bloc indeed.

I thought you liked Dredd.  It was everything you ever wanted when you first became a cop, plus a motorcycle.

[CountDeMoney]

I liked Dredd.  What's that got to do with goofing on Neil's and garbon's sexual idolatry?

Publicist: 'Fast & Furious' star dies in car crash

By Associated Press, Updated: Saturday, November 30, 10:46 PM

SANTA CLARITA, Calif. — Paul Walker, the star of the "Fast & Furious" movie series, died Saturday in a car crash that killed two people north of Los Angeles, his publicist said. He was 40.

Walker died Saturday afternoon, Ame Van Iden told the Associated Press.

A statement on the actor's Facebook page said he was a passenger in a friend's car, and that Walker was in the area to attend a charity event for his organization Reach Out Worldwide.

"We ... are stunned and saddened beyond belief by this news," the statement said.

The Los Angeles County Sheriff's department said that deputies found a car engulfed in flames when they responded to a report of a collision in the community of Valencia. Two people who were found in the car were pronounced dead at the scene.

The Santa Clarita Signal reports a red Porsche crashed into a light pole and tree and burst into flames.

Walker was working on "Fast & Furious 7" at the time of his death. He also starred in the suspense drama, "Hours," which is set for release this month.

And yet Vin Diesel lives.  Yay, us.

Saw The Hobbit again last night on HBO. It finally clicked in my brain that Radagast was the seventh Doctor.

And yet Vin Diesel lives.  Yay, us.

On the other hand, Fast&Furious 2 with Walker and no Diesel was crap.  It's one of those mysteries of the universe, I guess.

Saw Thor.  We were supposed to see Hunger Games, but it was full, so I was mighty pleased.  Thankfully, my young cousin didn't complain, I was paying for the tickets anyway.

It's a very nice movie, better than Thor #1, imho, nearly on par with the Avengers.

[Darth Wagtaros]

I agree that it was better than the first Thor by a long shot.  Not as good as The Avengers though.

[Kleves]

Paul Walker might be dead, but at least we all can thank God that Karl Urban yet lives.

Fast and Furious: Mega-City One.

Karl Urban was great in Dredd and LotR and Star Trek, but he's no Chris HamHemsworth.

Paul Walker died in a horrific crash? Or is that the review of his last movie?

Anyways, Paul Walker crashing fatally with a high powered car - another case of an artist sacrificing himself for his craft?

[viper37]

he wasn't the one driving.

He was on the way to a charity event for the Philippines typhoon victims.

So speed was a factor in both cases.
