Diesel used a police car's loudspeaker to thank fans paying their respects at the Santa Clarita street where his co-star's Porsche Carrera GT crashed and caught on fire, killing Walker and driver Roger Rodas. He addressed the crowd shortly after the street was cleared for a private family memorial. "If my brother were here right now and saw all the love that you're bringing here. If he could see for himself that all of you have showed up to show my brother love at this hard time," Diesel said. "That his family gets to see all of you show the love that you've shown Paul. It's going to stay with me forever." It's the first time Diesel, 46, has appeared in public to break his silence about his 40-year-old co-star's death. Fans gathered at the memorial cheered and shouted "we love you Vin" after the star thanked them for "showing that angel up in heaven how much you appreciate him". Diesel also opened up on Twitter and Facebook about a man he called "my brother on and off the screen".[/QUOTE] [url]http://news.ninemsn.com.au/entertainment/2013/12/03/20/24/vin-diesel-pays-tribute-at-walker-memorial[/url]
Good.
Friendly X10. The only time when somebody should be counted as being truly lost is when nobody remembers them once they die.

Man, Vin Diesel is 46 He looks like he's in his mid-late 30s Same for Paul Walker when he was still alive, really.

Who's the random asshole shouting 'woo' 5 seconds in? Seriously, that's a fucking dick move.
[QUOTE=Sir Whoopsalot;43056567]Who's the random asshole shouting 'woo' 5 seconds in? Seriously, that's a fucking dick move.[/QUOTE] Also the crowd cheering as if they've seen a performance after his speech strikes me as really odd and inappropriate, I would just clap my hands in respect
[QUOTE=The Baconator;43056525]Shows what having a fit and healthy life does[/QUOTE] Don't forget money!
The WOOO like 5 seconds in. Why the fuck did she/he have to do that? He's talking about a dead person he stood really close to.
[QUOTE=Kannata;43056638]The WOOO like 5 seconds in. Why the fuck did she/he have to do that? He's talking about a dead person he stood really close to.[/QUOTE] Because people think it's funny to be an asshole in public.
Even when they all cheered at the end that seemed weird to me. Maybe thats how you do it in the states. Light clapping seems more appropriate to me.

Playing a campaign of D&D with Vin Diesel must be the raddest shit ever. [editline]3rd December 2013[/editline] [QUOTE=Zonesylvania;43056924]Because people think it's funny to be an asshole in public.[/QUOTE] Some people really can't stand the pressure of long silence and they cope with the uneasy feeling that comes with silence by just shouting random blabber. Except some people do that more discretely by coughing or clearing their throat while others just shout "woo" for no apparent reason.
[QUOTE=Ganerumo;43057040]while others just shout "woo" for no apparent reason.[/QUOTE] Which is fucking idiotic, inappropriate and makes you look like a douche.
Yet everybody is standing like zombies with their cell phones, it's as none personal as it gets in this modern age of humanity. People are no longer watching solely through their eyes, but through the lenses of technology that controls them.

[QUOTE=S31-Syntax;43057129]wait what[/QUOTE] Didn't you know ? Vin Diesel is a huge nerd who just happens to also be a pile of muscles. He regularly holds D&D sessions with his friends and he's apparently really nerdy about it.
Vin's cool but, too many damn phones out

[QUOTE=Sam Za Nemesis;43057076]So, what about the driver that died alongside him that no one mentions a word?[/QUOTE]It is a tragedy, yes. Thing is, Paul Walker has brought laughter and smiles to people. He hasn't changed everyone's lives, but he's been that smile behind the wheel in a run of movies with some dumb fun car heists which have entertained a lot of people. Every person should be mourned, but I don't think a person should mourn every death with the same magnitude, because everyone impacts your life in varying degrees. Maybe just simply breathing the same air as you, or making you laugh really hard this one time, or maybe that person changed your life a huge amount, like teaching you everything you know, or helping you through a rough few years in your life.

You explained it quite perfectly.

"I don't wanna play fuckin Dungeons and dickwads dude, fuckin game's for nerds" 'Dude, Vin Diesel plays D&D, man the fuck up'
[QUOTE=The Baconator;43056525]Shows what having a fit and healthy life does[/QUOTE] Have you seen Chris Hardwick? The guy got super healthy and cut out a lot of bullshit and looks like he's in his late 20s, despite being almost 45.
If bears could talk, they'd sound like Vin. He's a great guy.
Now that we're talking about vin diesels gaming habits, for those who didn't know, he used to play WoW too, starts at 4:39 [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K4Ps4Zm4Qi4[/media]
It's always super painful to see someone talk about a friend they just lost, that interview with Paul just after John Lennon got shot is almost unwatchable for me.

They're so focused on getting their phones out to have something to post on Twitter or Facebook just to get some hits. I'd rather live in the moment and take it all in.
