There's a saying about games and their prizes...

I can see this being Gwyneth Paltrow someday. I met her once - she's like royalty face-to-face. But she's an all-in freak too.

[ProphetofGanja]

the news cycle has been crazy lately; I wonder what they're trying to distract us from.....

[Andrew NDB]

I know what you mean, but it is kind of funny to imagine leftists worried about the world paying too much attention to what they're doing so much so that they're willing to go so far as to crash their cars into houses and put themselves into comas.

[Leo656]

Drugs are a helluva drug.

This chick was always known to be something of a nutbag, wasn't she? Guess it was only a matter of time.

[IndigoErth]

Is that what she was hopped up on? Heard some clip the other day (via CNN I think) of whatever podcast it was that she does and she sounded like a lunatic, could barely tell what she as saying, and like someone who needed to be in a mental hospital. She better come to because she sure as hell owes the woman she could have killed. If someone wants to run themselves off a bridge or whatever, that's on them, but harming or risking harm to someone else in the process is vile.

[ProphetofGanja]

nah you know what's crazy? that nurse who crashed her car into an intersection going like 90 smh completely took out so many ppl

Yeah, they found coke in her system. Maybe other stuff, too, but the jury's still out on that.

She's not expected to survive

Tough break for her kids.

As a rule I never have any sympathy at all for anyone who drives under the influence. Definitely not anyone rich enough to afford a cab or a chauffeur.

It's a shame her life comes to an end in such a fashion. That's all she's going to be remembered for, since the circumstances are so bizarre. But all blame lies only with her.

Drugs, man.

I hate to be that guy.... but who was she again? Like what movie or whatever was she from?

Based on the posts here, it sounds like she had a history of doing this sort of thing and it finally reached its inevitable conclusion.

[Andrew NDB]

Not to belittle a situation, but I just remember her as dating Ellen Degeneres and then making a bunch of people angry when she dated dudes again afterward. She was in a decent Harrison Ford movie.

Oh.... the whole 'how dare you be bi, choose a side' BS that the oh-so-tolerant alphabet bunch like to do? Sheesh.

I only know her from a gag in Harvey Birdman...and being in the bad 1998 Psycho remake

[ChosenOne]

Portuguese media is saying she's braindead. Always tragic.

[Vegita-San]

in this case, not really. did it to herself and was always a tad whacky.

[ChosenOne]

Eh... I still feel kinda sorry for her, and moreso for the family. It's not the sort of thing anyone deserves, no matter how much they may have contributed to it happening (and she certainly did).

[ZariusTwo]

always a tad whacky.

She was sexually abused at 12.

[IndigoErth]

Sad for her family that she may not live and that stupid choices earned her stupid results.

I get that deep scars or mental illness push some people to self destructive behavior, but I have little sympathy for people who go hurting others as a result or take it out on them. I don't care how broken you are or over what, nothing is stopping you from having and a line you won't cross and sparing the well being of others.

[IndigoErth]

You are reading far too much into what I said.

If there were drugs in her system, not medication, and if she chose to ram her car into someone's home or put herself in the situation of doing so, almost killing the woman who lived there and burdening her by destroying her home, then yes, those choices make me less sympathetic to her actions than if she's just gone off on some sad, self destructive rampage that only involved herself.

Anyone can have demons, but that doesn't make harming others with them okay. That's the part I have personal resentment with.

[Andrew NDB]

Pretty much I'm in the IndigoErth camp on this one. We can be sympathetic at the end of the day but no one shoved the cocaine and who knows what else up her nose. That was all her. If some cracked out lunatic rammed into my house but bumped their head I'm not going to super care that they were diddled when they were 12, or whatever sob story they've got. Anne Heche is 53. Does she just get to wield the "I was abused" card forever, like a get out of jail free card that she just keeps, forever protecting her from ire?

She's now been taken off the life support and has died. Regardless of any fault that may have lied with her in this incident, wish her well to heaven, wish her family and those victimized by this incident well too. Also, hopefully the organs she was intent on donating go to good use.

[IndigoErth]

Sad...

Was looking at the Wikipedia page on her and talk about one messy life and family... eesh. Sad to say, but I suppose she's better off no longer having to deal with it if she was that unable to find her way to a mentally healthier life.

[ProphetofGanja]

like that somehow precludes her from being wacky? or needs to be mentioned as response to that? :roll:

[AquaParade]

Regardless, it's sad and haunting to think of someone in a coma, after a situation like this.

I'm probably talking out my ass, but I imagine your consciousness slowly rising to the surface, getting a sense of all the tragedy caused, and retreating into nothingness.

Idk, just the idea of being caught between death and waking to such horror is one of the scariest things I can think of.

[IndigoErth]

If she was clinically brain dead then hopefully she had no idea what was going on when the decision was made to take her off life support.

The idea of being in there but not being able to respond is horrifying. One of my mom's friends, a survivor of a brain aneurysm many years ago (albeit with problems ever since), had a bad period a number of years go and ended up in a coma and on life support for a while. They got to the point of discussing taking her off the life support...and then her ass bounced back (to the point that she was able) and woke up. I only heard about it second hand, though I think she supposedly had claimed to have heard them talking about it. :teek:

So did Roger Moore , Teri Hatcher (and Connery too , if what he said about losing his v-card at age 8 is true :cry: ) but they never did stuff like that

There's an episode of "The Outer Limits" from the 90s with Beau Bridges about a guy that develops an injection that simulates death without actually killing you, and you remain awake after it's administered... and then they start harvesting the guy's organs and such while he's alive. That one really stays with me.

I'm a big fan of that scene in Robocop 2 where Kane is just a brain and some eyeballs in a jar, and he's watching the scientists all walk around with his empty skull and everything. Good stuff. I'm sure he was furious.
