I don't think it's on YouTube yet, but on tonight's Arrow I saw what I actually found to be a suprisingly respectful ad for the F&F6 Blu-ray. Just showed a poster and the narration said portions of the Blu-ray's sales go to Paul Walker's charity.

It's a fucking clever science. Horrible job, but fascinating.

Depends on how bad the fire is, but breathing in will draw smoke and hot air deep into the airways where as a dead person's lungs will show a different pattern - assuming the body isn't totally cremated that is. I haven't seen the pictures.

Also, I'd guess that if you breathed in smoke the lungs would transfer some of the chemicals to the blood, and they would be circulated around the body. If these chemicals are found in deep tissues, you could assume that the person's heart was beating at the time. There would be quite a few ways I'd imagine.

I'm with others here. Generally speaking, celebrity deaths happen and while I think it's horrible - it doesn't really get to me. But I've grown up with the FF series. First movie I ever dragged my g/f to was Fast Five (and we saw F6 in the theater together too).

I have never street raced in my life, but I credit the series as one of the things that started my car love (along with Gran Turismo 3 and Sega GT on the DC). My 370Z is like a family member to me. Hits harder when it feels like it's someone that I know in way; same interests, passions, etc.

Anyway. Watching the movies again isn't ever going to be the same. Thoughts/prayers go out for his friends and family.

No disrespect for him or his family but wasnt the bluray gonna release this winter though? Would they rather delay the release or promote the release while donating profits to Walker's charity?

I dont think they are releasing the movie now on BD to ride his death.

Yeah, it was already coming out. The normal ads were playing all weekend.

Saw the new one a few times now. The tone of the voice over really doesn't match the message.

F&F 6 was out on bluray months ago in Europe. I was wondering why it was a delay.

I don't even know if they'll show how Han died in 7 since his car exploded while he was still alive :x

pretty much this series is screwed if they don't change some stuff

Has nothing to do with the release of the film. It's the increased ad campaign and pointing out the death, it's milking it.

I have no problem with it either. Dead or alive, he is one of the stars of the film. Universal wouldn't be doing their job otherwise.

The funny thing is I never watched 2F2F the whole way through so it's going to be hard since he's in all of it.

We'll see about the order since I'm used to the third before 4, 5 and 6 :P

More of his car collection. He does own exotics, but for the most part Paul Walker's collection are made up of rare blue collar cars. That's a true car enthusiast. It also shows how humbling he was. He didn't need to drive a Ferrari-gatti-gini every day.

I hope I just imagined something, cause that is terrible

Damn :(

And I had no idea that he is at the very core of that foundation:

Reach Out WorldWide (ROWW) - consisting of skilled volunteers - is a non-profit registered 501(c)3 organization. While part of a relief team responding to the massive earthquakes that devastated Haiti on January 12, 2010; Actor/Producer Paul Walker saw a gap between the availability of skilled resources and the requirement for such personnel in post-disaster situations. Following the trip he contacted a group of his friends to assist him in forming ROWW with the purpose of filling this unmet need.

I thought he might've been just a celebrity who occasionally helped out or something like that. But for it to have been his initiative from day zero... that's wonderful. And not being named after him or anything like that shows a great deal of genuine modesty on his part. Could've called it "The Walker Appeal" or something stupid like that, but kept it real and his name out of the spotlight.

It came out in October in Australia, still have not purchased it... i feel as though if i do now i would be bandwagon "hopper' (ie: one of those people that buys something when an actor or musician dies).

I don't mind the F&F movies as popcorn films but i honestly think the original was the best.

The whole situation is just sad.

He was in my hometown a week before he died

http://m.macon.com/macon/db_294244/c...tguid=zAZTFBD0

Movie star Paul Walker spent part of the last Sunday of his life at a restaurant in Macon.He was the first person Malcolm Steele, 22, served on his shift Nov. 24 at the Chili’s on Riverside Drive.“He treated me like I was a celebrity,” Steele said Tuesday. “He was one of the kindest, nicest guys that I’ve ever met.”“All he kept saying was, ‘you’re doing a good job, champ. You’re awesome Malcolm, a great server.”Walker starred in five of the six films in the popular car racing series “The Fast and the Furious” and had been in Georgia last month shooting the seventh installment.He arrived shortly after 11:30 a.m. and spent about 45 minutes in the restaurant, accompanied by a young woman Steele said may have been his daughter.

He ordered two waters with lemon and a California turkey club sandwich with a house salad.Steele, who has been working as a Chili’s server for five months, did not immediately recognize the actor. He said he tried to treat Walker like any other customer.Eventually, however, the restaurant awoke to his celebrity, and Walker was generous with his time, several employees said. He talked about his films, signed autographs and posed for photos.“Everyone was running around like school girls with crushes,” said Brittany Hardy, 24, who was bartending.Walker died the following Saturday in a fiery car crash in Santa Clarita, Calif.

He was the passenger in a Porsche Carrera GT that hit a light pole and burst into flames. He was 40.“It was a shock,” Chili’s host David Tressler, 21, said. “I just met my idol and now he’s gone.”Tressler sat down at a booth across from Walker to talk to him.“I sat there mesmerized,” he said. “You know the moment when you are 5 years old and you get that toy at Christmas time where your face is just glowing with excitement? That’s how it was.”Tressler told Walker that “Varsity Blues” is his mother’s favorite movie.“He was laid back and down to earth,” Tressler said.Walker spoke about his father, Steele said, and how he was brought up to love driving cars.“He was humble,” Steele said.Walker starred in the first “Fast and the Furious” movie in 2001 and helped inspire millions of fans into exploring performance car culture.

Los Angeles County sheriff’s investigators have not yet determined the cause of the crash that killed him, but preliminary reports indicate speed was a factor.Earlier that day, Walker had attended a holiday toy drive for his international first aid charity, Reach Out Worldwide.“I know he’s in a better place,” Steele said. “He just seemed like a great guy.”

Count me in amongst those who are taking his death hard, perhaps moreso than one would have ever expected. I guess when you watch someone in a series for 15 years, you identify with them and feel like you know them. Walker always came off as an everyman (albeit a ridiculously handsome everyman), so I think that made him even easier to identify with and his loss that much harder to accept.
