Reverend Jax Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 I hope all you people who boycotted Wanted are happy now. This is on your heads. In all seriousness, I hope the early reports are exaggerated, and if not, I hope he makes a full and speedy recovery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thelogan Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 Why's it so damn hard to hate on Morgan Freeman? If I heard this same news about 9 out of 10 celebrities, I wouldn't give two tugs of a dead dog's cock and I'd prob'ly add some hateful messages to any board I saw on the topic. But not this guy. I sincerely hope for the best for him and everyone involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silent Bob Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 Agreed. Word is he broke his arm and shoulder but should make a decent recovery, though it'll take some months. It's kind of refreshing to read about a celebrity car crash that had neither of the passengers intoxicated and both wearing their seatbelts.

Iambaytor Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 Who will narrate things now?! Because Hollywood will never accept my script for March of the Penguins 2: March Harder narrated by "Macho Man" Randy Savage. In all seriousness though glad to know he's okay, he may be heading toward Samuel L. Jackson territory career-wise right now (Just picture him saying the Snakes on a Plane line, I dare you) but that doesn't change the fact that he's a great actor.

Silent Bob Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 The guy can still do voiceovers with a broken arm. I think at this point, the guy could do voiceovers with his head separated from his body, if he had to. And if he couldn't, fuck it, they can go back through his filmogrophy, mix and match lines of wisdom and apply it to whatever they need. Which might be a fun experiment, come to think of it...

Silent Bob Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 Let's all play Ignore the Moron. Didn't they do that with Humphrey Bogart a few years ago on an episode of the new Twilight Zone? If they did, I'm sure it was awesome. We could all use a little more digitally altered Humphrey Bogart in our contemporary entertainment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
