RIP Paul Walker...

Sad news this week. Paul Walker, star of the ":Fast and Furious" movies and several others was killed in a car crash this week. Even sadder-the poor bastard wasn't driving, a friend was. He was a passenger when his buddy lost control of a Porsche 911 and hit a telephone pole. Apparently they were going very fast, and the car exploded into a fireball and they both burned to death. Horrible. He was only 40, and according to everyone who knew him was a great guy. He organized charities for children in third-world countries and tried to help under-priveliged people all over the world.  Even though gossipers said he and Vin Diesel butted heads over creative differences during the filming of the "F&F" movies and even came to blows once, Diesel cried uncontrollably at his funeral and said he had lost a very good friend. They were working on "F&F 7" at the time. Hopefully the producers will have class enough to just bag it and say "We had a helluva run"  Diesel is a good actor, and in the previews it looked like tough-guy Jason Statham had joined the fray, but when the freaking star dies, you have to give up. Anyhow, he was a good actor, a gearhead and an all-around good guy according to everyone who knew him. May he rest in Valhalla. Mastermind
