[The Real Slim Shady]

For what? Cause he made a few blockbusters? Could have stuck anyone in that role and theyd have been just as big, if not more so.

Beat me up to it.
He seemed a cool actor and person but what is it so special to "love him and respect" him more than any other random person?
Following this logic we should make around 155,000 new threads everyday.

Exactly. I can almost understand it when someone like Michael Jackson, or Steve Jobs passes... cause they literally provided decades of contributions to the world involving multiple generations... but this guy made like 5 cheesy racing action movies? I wouldnt even call this guy an A-List celebrity. There are far more people that die every day that deserve much more love and respect.
