Just watched Shutter Island for the first time, wow.

 

I thought the film was made by the very last line.

 

Oh God, the memorial episode to Corey Monteith in Glee is sad.

 

The whole of Glee is sad, and I can tell that from just watching a couple of excerpts.

 

What makes it particularly emotional is knowing that despite it being a tv show, for each of the characters the tears and the grief is not acted, it's completely genuine. Also, incredibly emotional performance of I'll Stand By You by the Pretenders.

 

Stars that go down the drugs route should be used as examples of how not to lead your life...if his death saves a few youngsters, then his death would have some meaning. Sadly, too many people glamorise fast, short lives and don't recognise the misery behind it.

You could say the same thing about TOWIE and other cringey/**** semi reality tv shows.

 

Just reading about this for the first time now, and sounds like this Monteith guy was another victim of ironic abstinence death? Abstain from heroin for a while, but then give in and take what used to be a tolerable amount, and it kills you. Must be tough.

 

Firstly most of those shows are probably scripted to at least some extent, plus even if it is genuine all it covers is trivial shallow BS like who is shagging who or who wants to shag who. Death and grief is completely different.

Hopefully as Fran says this will at least show kids not to go down the same path.

 

Great pole from Webber. Fantastic lap. He genuinely did Vettel for pace.

 

What's gonna break tomorrow then?

 

Haha, hopefully the Bulls against each other into the first corner. Alonso is REALLY off song....

 

I want a Webber victory .

Hulk second .

 

Webber will have a "problem" at the start that allows Hans the Robot in front.

 

"Mark, we have a KERS issue. Brake bias three clicks to the rear."

 

Kimi disqualified , will start from the back of the grid .

Oooh, might have to watch it, then. There's nothing more entertaining than Kimi weaving maniacally through a pack of slower cars.

Wait until the straight and blow past them with the DRS, you say? Why do that when you can cook it into a corner, narrowly escaping spinning out and ruining a three-lap-old set of tires?

 

Iago Falque just scored against Real Madrid but mysteriously disallowed.
