If you want to view paradise, simply look around and view it. Anything you want to, do it; want to change the world... there's nothing to it.

What did you expect? "Welcome, sonny"? "Make yourself at home"? "Marry my daughter"? You've got to remember that these are just simple farmers. These are people of the land. The common clay of the new West. You know... morons.

Hello handsome. You're a good looking fellow, do you know that? People laugh at you, people hate you, but why do they hate you? Because... they are jealous. Look at that boyish face. Look at that sweet smile. Do you wanna talk about physical strength? Do you want to talk about sheer muscle? Do you want to talk about the Olympian ideal? You are a God. And listen to me, you are not evil. You... are... good.

This is a nice boy. This is a good boy. This is a mother's angel. And I want the world to know once and for all, and without any shame, that we love him. I'm going to teach you. I'm going to show you how to walk, how to speak, how to move, how to think. Together, you and I are going to make the greatest single contribution to science since the creation of fire.

Inga: Dr. Fronkensteen! Are you all right!

MY NAME IS FRANKENSTEIN!

I'm a nothing. I spend my life counting other people's money. People I'm smarter than. Better than! I want... I want... I want everything I've ever seen in the movies!

RIP Gene Wilder, you epic, epic man.

Blazing Saddles is easy among my top 5 films. Re-watch it regularly but it holds up. RIP

People are down voting because they're twerps. It's ok to repost the same shit everyday but God forgive us if we pay homage to a great man.

I loved him, though he was a comedic genius and wonderful actor. I just don't care when celebrities die

The points don't have anything of value, just wouldn't seem right to downvote Gene Wilder

I have no idea who he is.

Aww, he was the best Wonka.

Why downvote? Because a few people are broken up about it, many are sad, and everyone else is tired of hearing about it already.

10 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 1

They're downvoting the others hoping their own post , or their buddies, will get to the front page.

I almost made the same post. I'm glad I didn't now. I would've looked like more of a douche than normal

He had complications with alzheimer's. I hope he went as peacefully as possible.

Apparently he went peacefully with his nephew beside him, listening to Ella Fitzgerald sing Somewhere Over the Rainbow, his favorite song.

Disingenuous and disrespectful to try to cash in fake internet points with a Google Images photo and "RIP" with no content. Solid post tho

I'm at -12 on my post. He was an amazing actor. Now it will take 6 months before I can watch his movies.

Me too, I was at work when I saw the news... Cried for ten minutes

because, making a post after someone dies can be perceived as point-whoring

10 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

I might downvote the fact that he's gone, but I'll upvote this post.

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Bc the people who liked him came from a time where internet didn't matter as much and therefore are not here to upvote, the others downvote

10 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Probably because of spammage.

10 years ago | Likes 203 Dislikes 7

How hard is this to understand @op it's ten "tributes" being posted every refresh! I liked him and I'm still doing the right thing.

*point-whoring off a mans death

10 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 1

also the points

10 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

people just milking his death for free internet points. Some probably don't even care or watched him. They see it's getting points that's it

10 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 1

I'm going to be honest here, I just woke up and wasn't aware he died. I've only now just realised these are tribute pictures.

10 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

It happens every time a celebrity dies. I really don't need to be reminded about it every other post

10 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 1

Exactly, people are looking to cash in and get upvotes for themselves based on the death of someone else.

A talented actor passes who made people happy dies&we can't give him 1 last hurrah for a few hours? Butlet's post the same half naked girls!

10 years ago | Likes 6 Dislikes 9

I would much rather see posts about how much an actor meant to people than T&A. Dont get me wrong, I love T&A but I can find it on my own.

10 years ago | Likes 7 Dislikes 2

That's in the last 24 hours. Pretty sure it's safe to call a good chunk of that spam, not a tribute.

10 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 3

Because hundreds of people think they need to post about it at once and it gums up the works

So take a fucking night off.
