Hove, f***ing ACTUALLY.
I hope ITV or whoever has the rights put on the Original film as a tribute, it was my first ever trip to the cinema and still one of my favourite films.

RIP Superman

Being the incurable romantic that I am, my favourite film of his is a little known little gem called, Somewhere in Time, with the ever beautiful and gorgeous Jane Seymour. It really is a beautiful love story.

Hankies please:cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:
 




Ironic that he dies just a few days after getting mentioned in the 2nd presidential debate.

Reeve was a big supporter of embryonic stem cell research which offers hope that cures for spinal injuries can be found. Reeve often said he put himself through the daily agonies only because he sincerely believed that one day scientists would make a breakthrough while he lived. Tragically, he didn't make it.

Embryonic stem cell is of course currently being blocked by the Christian fundamentalist in the White House who would rather people like Reeve suffer than scientists be given a free hand to find cures. The religious zealots in America really think these collection of cells are "life" and can't be experimented upon :nono:

It's a terrible example of how under George Bush the great American democratic principle of the seperation of church and state has come under attack.

I hope John Kerry in the final Presidential debate once again uses Reeve's inspirational words as he did in the 2nd debate.

There has always been a common denominator between religious zealots in the US and Republicans. How many more people in Christopher Reeve's situation must suffer due to the dogma of these "god fearing christians" in refusing to accept the principal of stem cell research?

I have to say I haven't felt as gutted as I do today for a film stars death since John Candy died.

RIP
