    What's significant about that bridge? Lots of people mentioning it.

    p.s. Edited to add... Other than it's high enough I guess that if you jump, you can die, I mean.

    One of the reasons I like that state of Oregon Too bad this had to turn tragic when it could have been done peacefully. (If that is the actual reason)

    I think True Romance is by far his best movie but Quentin Tarantino wrote it so he started with a great script.

    True Romance for sure.

    I don't blame him at all for what he did. If I was in his situation I would do something similar.

    His widow is saying he didn't have inoperable brain cancer, as previously reported.

    While its no Golden gate, its in a lot of movies, and also in the most recent TG USA episode....its the bridge in the big(fake) jump of the Nic Cage Gone in 60 Sec movie...

    I guess if he lived a life of bringing on screen dramatic, it was somewhat fitting...

    True Romance by a long shot. Hardly anyone ever knows what I am talking about when I bring it up, though.
