I am very sad too. Keep getting a vision of him in that movie he did many years ago...think it was called "Somewhere in time" . That last scene always sticks in my mind & even more so now. :(
R.I.P SUPERMAN :\'(

They say it happens in terms of 3. Janet, Rodney and now Chris Reeve. (http://www.imgmag.com/images/lyoness/EMOTICONS/BowedSaddy.gif)

Amazing! I remember the first Superman series at a time when black and white TV was such a wonder, after so many years of "watching" radio. And contrary to the spirit of reality, we never seemed to recollect that a man in a suit can not really fly.
Dear Christopher, you were our living color hero in theaters around the world. You were the icon posing as a defender of rights, the protector of all that we,as Americans, knew justice to be;representative of freedom and power over evil.
What a tragedy that we read this news today. Yet what a life you lived, and a message shared. You were so much to so many, especially after your tragic fall.
You transformed from the famed "Man of Steel" , into the figure of hope, for all that suffer spinal cord injuries. You became a hero of a different kind. And now we know you are also mortal. That you suffered and finally died. I never thought to read this news. I always thought I\'d read that you had accomplished your goal of walking again.
I weep this morning because I remember your superman. I weep because you died without ever again feeling the tickle of grass beneath bare feet. I weep because your gone.
And you shall be missed. (http://www.imgmag.com/images/lyoness/EMOTICONS/closedeyes.gif)
It is truely sad and unbelieveable that he is gone. I have to look at all that he accomplished while he was here. Superman was not only a character for him, he lived that role after his accident. He did so much for all of us, not only for continued research but even just in remnding all of us to set goals and continue to strive to reach them. We might not reach that end goal we set, but think of how many things we can do along the way that matter just as much. Christopher might not have walked again but his continued support and speaking out for more advances in research will continue to echo in our minds for a long time to come. He has made a difference in this world.
I read his book a number of years ago and I still remember how his strong spirit came through even in times of despair. Every now and then something he wrote will come back to me and remind me to keep striving and reaching for that little bit extra. He has motiviated and encouraged many with his life and the energy he put into it.
He truely was a Superman!(http://pages.prodigy.net/rogerlori1/emoticons/star05.gif)
He will never really be gone as long as we keep him in our hearts.
Deblee
Christopher Reeve has left a legacy in medical research that will not soon fade, he has left a mark on the earth in every way and his hand touched parts of our medical lives we may not even learn about for decades...
long may he watch over us in amusement from the skies, no longer on wires.
I listened in saddness late last night as the first reports came in. I stopped and said a prayer for his safe journey home. I thanked him for giving of himself to us as he did and for providing a beautiful example of how life is supposed to be lived. I imagine he is now at peace and from a distance is comforting his family as he rides off on his horse. Ride on Mr. Reeves, forever you will remain our hero. :-*
Logged on late today & have just seen this. I can\'t really add to the above except to say I admired his work both before & after the accident, and his courage is an example to anyone who faces physical challenge. He\'ll be missed indeed.
:( yeah words of warning just to let the folks out there in internet land that some of the major news casting websites have very scary upclose pictures of Christopher Reeve, that is not the way we should remember him, some of them look almost skullike drained of color and the lack of hair , eyebrows and lashes. As perviosly posted He was my Hero when I had ear surgery when I was a kid I went to the hospitle as Superman but the last time I wore that PJ suite was when I had Chicken Pox also for unnumbered and uncountable time during and after Halloween did I go as Superman, one year I went as a very baggy Clark Kent with the superman suit Underneath I still have Pitcures of Me with the Cape dangleing out.
I shared more then I should have here Much MUCH more.
Chris
That\'s ok Chris, I had wonder women underroos....paraded around the neigborhood in them..
thanks for shareing. It is a real compliment to admit that you were really into superman in such a way and I am sure Mr Reeve was flattered by so many little boys and young men who wanted to be his portrayal of such a hero.
Max\' dad was a devout watcher of Wonder Woman. he watched it "for the plot" he told us... right... sure... uh-huh...
my best costume was as a Debbie Harry Vampire - fooled several good friends at a party in NYC - and we\'re talking all with makeup and a bleach job. oh, and a dress, of course. october in NYC was too cold for otherwise.
:\'( yeah but all my childhood hero\'s are either gone or just plain gone.
John Denver (dead crashed homemade plane)
Micheal Jackson ( just plane gone no explaino )
Raffi ( out of the limelight, weres he at)
Christopher Reeve ( Paralyzed, Dead already covered this )
that leaves one left.
The man who played Luke Skywalker, Mark Hamill.
Chris
damn, Chris, with the accident he had years ago nearly wiping him out, Mark Hamill was nearly on your gone list too!!
many of my heros are gone; i try to keep my eyes open for new ones, and retain the memory and honor of the old ones. especially my dad.
hey - going back to "Somewhere in Time" - was that from the book, "Time and Again"? that was an awsome book, but i never saw that movie.
gkg - you have to quit reading my mind. You beat me to that remark about Hamill.
Chris - (gkg QUOTE - retain the memory and honor of the old ones) -- that is how we continue our growth by remembering what insired us and expand upon that. So don\'t be discouraged that they are gone or leaving us be inspried that they passed by.
I don\'t know if it is from the book or not but you need to see that movie. You can barrow my copy if youd like.
Quotehey - going back to "Somewhere in Time" - was that from the book, "Time and Again"? that was an awsome book, but i never saw that movie.
I haven\'t read the book...but judging by the movie, I thought the story was very good & Christopher\'s performance was just excellent. I\'m telling you...the amount of times I have cried over that film is unreal...am in two minds whether to buy it on DVD so I can remember him :(
QuoteI don\'t know if it is from the book or not but you need to see that movie. You can barrow my copy if youd like.
Did it totally do you over too sngwthme? :(
it sounds like something i\'m gonna have to look for.
QuoteYou can barrow my copy if youd like.
hey, if i can\'t get it on netflix i\'ll take you up on that, SNGWTHME. i\'ll let you know.
m4sure - Oh absolutely, totally tugs at everything.
This movie is one hell of a story. Don\'t think about it, get the dvd.
gkg - I could probably get it to you faster then netflix. ;)
netflix is pretty fast, but i\'ll keep it in mind. i have so much on my plate right now - but i\'d like to see it, sort of as an homage to CReeve in a way, since you and m4sure seem to feel strongly about it.
To all of us who have lost a friend....your fight against paralysis was noble and brave, and we respect you for everything you stood for! You fought against what life gave you, and gave us all something to think about! You said you would walk again, and I know in your next life you are walking tall!
We love you Christopher

Great honorable mentions Rear Window and Remains of the day.
Chris
need to see Remains of the Day - we just don\'t do movies much... as for Rear Window, thinking of renting it, but i\'m such a purist when it comes to Hitchcock that i\'m a little leery. Rear Window is one of my all time favs - although i think the top Hitch-flick to me is Rope. LOVE that one.
i am very curious to see the animated piece Reeve was working on when he died. they have announced it will go forward.
:-/ :o :-/ Animated Peice WHA?
Chris
I\'ve seen "Somewhere in Time". It\'s about a young man in his late 20s early 30s and an old woman who was in her mid-late 90s I\'d say. She told him to come back to her and he didn\'t understand until later. He realized that he had been reencarnated. He knew the old woman when she was young and beautiful (Jane Seymour) back in 1918 I think it was. He started to remember the hotel and the surroundings and he traveled back in time by hypnotizing himself. At the end, well I don\'t want to ruin it for anyone, you\'ll just have to watch it. But Richard Collier (Christopher Reeve) and Elise McKenna (Jane Seymour) did end up with eachother. Christopher Reeve is, was, and always will be the best and only Superman for me. The star we lost on the ground can now shine brightly in the sky. He\'ll be able to walk, run, jump and fly if he wants to, no wheelchair or machines can stop him now.
m4sure help me out here cause I don\'t recall any part about reincarnation??? it was all about time travel. He had done it before that\'s how they meet but he didn\'t remember because it hadn\'t happened yet until she came looking for him as an old women and gave him the watch and told him to come back to her so she could be with him again then he went looking for a way to go back in time and........It\'s time travel, any quantum sientists out there help us out, but I say don\'t try to understand it just enjoy it cause it makes sense.
Well somehow... :-/ Oh man guess I know what Ill be watching this weekend.
Another great t ime travel movie...The letter...Jennifer Jason leigh. That is a good story. Rent it!
ah, not quite the same story as the book i was thinking of, but it still sounds good - thanks for the info tvega12004!
yeah Chris, an animated movie. it\'s called Yankee Irving, due out in 2006, and they say it\'s gonna go forward.
i got 3 pretty cool films today, "kids" "Ichi The killer" and David Cronenberg\'s "naked lunch". i seen kids loads of times before and i think it\'s a master piece, and only today i acaulyl found it on dvd for £7 Bargin!
I Watched Ichy one before but it was very late and i didnt really get it as i was drunk but i got the 2 disc special edition so i\'ll give it a blast tonight, Before the baseball starts.
Naked lunch i have no idear, about this film..it was a hmm see what that is all about..plus i\'ve heard that it\'s really f**ked up!..we\'ll see :)
*edit* some great Europian Animation seek out and get "The Triplets of Belleville" AKA Belleville Rendez-Vous http://www.bellevillerendezvous.com/ it\'s a Beautifully dark and twisted film..and the music is amazing!...you thought viggo was cool playing a wheel chair....they have a 4 peice band that plays..Fridge shelfs, The Paper, Vauum cleaner and The Bike spokes...
Quotem4sure help me out here cause I don\'t recall any part about reincarnation??? it was all about time travel.

Yeah your right it was about time travel!
Made me believe in Quantum physics!
Didn\'t SUPERMAN time travel when he had to go back in time when Lois died after he got to her accident too late? Seem to remember Superman making that world spin round in reverse?
Don\'t think I have seen "The Letter" looks like I will have to see that movie too.
Chris Moss - Naked Lunch is good stuff! that Belleville Rendezvous won an award, didn\'t it? an oscar for animated short or something? maybe i\'m misremembering... anyway, i absolutely loved it.
sngwthme - yes indeedy - Superman made the world spin backward to turn back time.
You are right gkg Belleville Rendezvous did win the award. Read about that when I heard about the movie. I haven\'t seen it yet. Thanks for reminding me Chris Moss. I have to get that.
m4sure - that was pretty cool spinning the world around .. i got dizzy though..in a good way. could you imagine if that worked. ;D oh wait let\'s not imagine that. I would be afraid if that capability got in the wrong hands. We could all disappear. :o
Yes check out "The Letter". If you like stories related to the civil war it is really cool. It\'s not about the civil war, but the time traveilng goes back to during that time. Very good. ;) very good! It is a love story, of course.
Superman spun the world back becuse Lois Lane died in an earthquake, Jor El ( Marlon Brando ) voice came from the heavens saying " it is forbidden , it is forbidden " but he did it turned the world back to see her alive.
WOW major Geekdom here thanks good memoirs from Childhood are fun to recall.
I Only wish I could have done this back in 95 when Christopher Reeve broke his neck just tell him not to ride that day, BUT...
Chris
I\'m so sorry, Reeve was great man and now is angel in the sky!
Christopher Reeve is the Super Man today, yesterday, forever! :\'( :\'( :\'(
But, your words lives!!!
