Default David Carradine

Has anyone heard about David Carradine? He was found dead today, hung naked in his closet. Really sad stuff, now I need to go and watch the Kill Bill movies in honor of him. For a 72 year old, he was in great health and had a seemingly good life. I don't know what would lead him to commit suicide, that is, if he did. The case is still being investigated.

Yesterday, actually. (there's my OCD kicking in again)

It is terrible what happened. I grew up on "Kung Fu: The Legend Continues", and also enjoyed his role in the "Kill Bill" movies. He will be missed. But apparently, he had some sort of asphyxiation fetish, which is how he died.

From what they were saying on the radio today, the local police don't think it was suicide, they believe it was a case of erotic asphyxiation. Apparently this type of tragity is pretty common.

David.

Huh, I guess I didn't read the date on the newspaper (face-palm).

That's not exactly the best way to go.

I know, he was one of my favorite actors. Not a good way for a great actor to go

Yeah, a real shame. He was the only part of the Kill Bill movies that made them worth watching to me...

I think the best way for the man to go is that it relates to his movies. Either he was killed doing a kung fu demo or having something to do with 5 palms and an exploding heart

Taking those last three courageous steps as Good, Bad, Ugly-esque music plays!

I loved the Kill Bill movies. When I saw the first one in 2003, I was 10 and totally confused, but today I understand them perfectly and love them. Uma Thurman is a bad ass. Quentin Tarentino nuts, but he can make a good movie, I'll give him that.
