The stories are everywhere, but if you haven’t heard yet, the man who played the man of steel, Christopher Reeve died:

The man who soared to fame as the star of the Superman films and was grounded by a paralyzing accident in mid career has died at the age of 52.

It’s my understanding that there might be another Superman film and I sure hope whoever they get to play Superman doesn’t suck. Reeve made me believe that he really could fly. R.I.P Mr. Reeve. Below you’ll find a screenshot of the amp I made, which as soon as they fix their server issues I can (hopefully) link up and share with you.



What other bloggers are saying:

Digger’s Realm: “Such a tragic end to a guy who had everything. Looks, money and a successful career came to a halt with one fall from a horse.”

No Math: “He never gave up on life despite his injuries. He really was, I have to say it, a super man.”

Outwit, Outblog, Outsnark: “Most people will tell you their favorite memory of him was as Superman, but my favorite movie of his was Somewhere in Time. I’m a romantic shmuck and the thought of him, a rather towering figure, reduced to a man desperate to be with the woman he loved…well…powerful stuff.”

Wicked Muse: “So, I’m sitting here at work (taking a short break to post this), plowing through work when a co-worker comes by and says, “Hey, Superman died.” “No way! BS!”

Unfogged: “He was inspiring, and his death is the more sad because one sensed that he really did have hope, and believed that his determination could help him be cured.”

Prototype Creative: “i, and no doubt most of the world, believed if anyone could heal and come back from paralysis from a broken neck it would have been him.”Bewitched, Bothered, Bewildered: “This came as a great shock to me when I heard about it just a few minutes ago.”

Hung, drawn and quoted: “I never got comfortable with seeing Christopher Reeve in that chair. There was just such an cruel irony to it… Man of steel to man in steel. Things like this happen to people all the time but when it happens to celebrities it’s almost like a it happening to a friend.”

not sweet words: “Very sad, he was such a fighter. It’s a shame that he never realised his dream of walking again in his lifetime.”
