I'm very sad about David Carradine. Very very sad.

[kitsune17.livejournal.com]

Poor David Carradine. :(

I love the zombie ponies.

[punzerel.livejournal.com]

I read about David Eddings last night. :( His books were always reliable fun - two of my siblings and I tore them through all (repeatedly) from sixth or seventh grade all the way through high school.

It may be time for a re-read.

[blackpariahdog.livejournal.com]

Oh no, not David Eddings! He's my brother's favorite author.

[rhoda-rants.livejournal.com]

Aw, I feel for the poor, hopeful commenters on that Ryan Kwanten interview. No, sorry, Lafayette is definitely really dead. If we're lucky we'll still get him in flashback scenes, but that's it.

[jdotmi.livejournal.com]

Since Nelsan shows up in the opening credits for at least one episode of Season 2, I'm sure it's safe to say that we do.

[greedyskunk.livejournal.com]

David Carradine was the first news item I read this morning. :(

[nicolars.livejournal.com]

Can't say I'm heartbroken about Outpost Gallifrey...that was the most bitter messageboard I've ever visited, which is saying a lot! I can see why i09 is upset though, they basically copy and pasted all of their DW news and rumors from there.

[sabra-n.livejournal.com]

The old-school Who forums on the OG were actually...nice sometimes, once the new-school show was well underway. And I am going to miss the place as an unparalleled rumor mill. It was sort of like a mild version of 4chan for the fandom - producing the occasional good thing that spread throughout the Web, without sane people needing to visit it directly. Lyon's non-explanation for why he won't hand over the reins is a doozy, too. *blinks*

[rhoda-rants.livejournal.com]

Also, this: I've been working on my vampire book for SIX YEARS and by the time I finish it EVERYONE WILL HATE VAMPIRES

I'm so feeling your pain on that. Which is why I have a sci-fi thriller on the backburner, just in case, haha.

[callmesyd.livejournal.com]

I will distract myself from the woe of losing two of my favorite Davids with the following:



...and with HOLY SHIT STEM CELLS CURING BLINDNESS THIS IS SO GODDAMNED AWESOME \o/

[modpixie.livejournal.com]

i'm pretty sure brucio borrowed those pants from my mom.

[beachlass.livejournal.com]

Oh God. Pierce Brosnan and Robert Pattinson. Does Pattinson exude some kind of internet transmissable insanity inducing phermone? Because he is the only person on the planet that activates my Real People Slash Goggles.

Like the whole Comic Con/Gates of Hell Opening thing? When his hair went on high alert? And it looked like he'd just been shagged? Keanu Reeves was there, I'm just saying. Plus the whole sex-in-a-closet look he was sporting at the Goblet of Fire premiere.

God, I'll shot up now before you ban me.

[cherrysakura5.livejournal.com]

Why Hulu WHY?!?!?!

Zombie Little Ponies! What would TLE say?

[ahirutwin.livejournal.com]

He would say that they have feelings too, you know. XD

[lookoutsunshine.livejournal.com]

Ahaha, I love the reference to Catherine Hardwicke's film, Twinkle: A Vampire Ballet.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that was Actual LOL for me.

[ahirutwin.livejournal.com]

Re New Moon Behind the Scenes: And once again I laugh my ass off at KStew's staggering inability to verbalize her feelings. Still think she's awesome though. XD (But honey, Chucks don't go with EVERYTHING. There must be limits.)

Also, I am severely disappointed in the lack of interviews with True Blood actors THAT I ACTUALLY CARE ABOUT. ]:

[rhoda-rants.livejournal.com]

ITA! Where the crap is ASkarz?

[manekikoneko.livejournal.com]

When i heard about David Carradine this morning my second thought, after, Oh my god!, was 'How many people do I know who know who David Caaradine is?' I've been hanging out with too many young'uns lately.

[mokeyhokey.livejournal.com]

I hate admitting this, but when Michael Sheen said his Aro was a little bit Nick Cave on Twitter I inwardly cheered. Aro is sort of...douchily flamboyant in the books, so I can't fathom how adding a dash of 70s porn star Jesus (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7kV5XkBQsKU) won't make him at least 30% more fabulous.

[lisa-zj.livejournal.com]

RIP David Carradine.

I cannot wait for True Blood season 2. I came late to the party for that show and only watched it so I could read Cleolinda's recaps. :) LOVED the show, loved the recaps!

Take all the time you want with your vampire book Cleo, we'll all read it. And people will still be fascinated with them. Look how long it's been since Bram Stoker wrote Dracula (originally published in 1897, incidentally).

[syvia.livejournal.com]

Fare thee well, Mr. Eddings. Thank you for the stories.

Mr. Carradine, we loved you in Kung Fu. Rest in peace.

[ailaes.livejournal.com]

which fills me with dismay because I've been working on my vampire book for SIX YEARS and by the time I finish it EVERYONE WILL HATE VAMPIRES

You and me both [only replace six with TEN in my case].


And I'm having a hard time believing David Carradine would kill himself. Then again, I don't know the circumstances etc. It just seems odd. Another great one gone.

[sneaky-minx.livejournal.com]

I found out about David Carradine's passing thanks to the Twitter Trending Topics sidebar. I can't get over that. Not the way I would've chosen. /whiney

[mudpuppy83.livejournal.com]

I was deeply saddened to hear about David Carradine this morning. He was always fun to watch, whether as the heroic detective in Q: The Winged Serpent or the villain of Kill Bill.

Such a shame.

[wiliqueen.livejournal.com]

Don't sweat it re: the book. "For the love of God, DON'T submit a vampire novel!!" has been the number one piece of author advice I've seen for, like, the past twenty years. That's not an exaggeration. I've never seen in rescinded.

There are always lots of vampire novels being submitted. There are always lots of agents and editors who never want to see another one ever ever again. There are always, as far as I can tell, approximately the same number of exceptions squeaking through and getting published anyway. The only thing that ebbs and flows is the level of mainstream attention/sales they garner.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

I'll be honest, I'm to a point where I just don't give a fuck anymore. I'll put it out as an ebook on Lulu if I have to, the hell with it. Some of y'all will buy it, at least. And if it's any good, it'll get enough attention that someone will want to contract the rest of the series. If it's not, I'll keep selling it myself. Seriously, I'm this close to just tattooing "I Don't Give A Fuck" on the inside of my arm and making it my life motto.

[queenanthai.livejournal.com]

I am deeply, deeply mourning David Eddings' passing. No one else has ever come close to having that level of depth and humanity in their characters.

[cersseilyne.livejournal.com]

Oh no, Mr Eddings!

*is very sad now*

[trampchic.livejournal.com]

I love how somebody commented on the zombies as My Little Thestrals.

And Martin Sheen just validated my opinion that an awesome actor can do wonders with his character even in a crappy movie.

[persian-freak.livejournal.com]

isn't it.. Charlie Sheen?
or have I been living the past four years loving the wrong man???

[calliopes_pen]

I heard about David Carradine when they mentioned it on The View this morning. After checking IMDB, I discovered that I've never seen him in anything...except for one episode of Charmed.

May he rest in peace.
