D. was a terrible movie he was in.

Fuck Off samoanjoes. This isn't funny. Jeff Bridges had a cancer scare a few years back, and many of us are genuinely concerned for his health. 😠

reply

His cancer is in remission. I definitely would not have posted this if he still had it.

Fair enough.

I don't like snapping at anyone, and you seem generally cool going by your other posts, but we've had a spate of celebrity deaths recently, plus bad news about Bruce Willis' health, so Jeff is one of those people I'm worried for, in view of his recent illness.

reply

And fwiw, it's theoretically a funny joke, but probably would have been less alarming if you'd chosen Ryan Reynolds instead of Jeff (which is not a slight on Ryan, but just that at his age/health, he's less likely to die soon).

reply

It would have seemed less believable because of his age.

reply

But that's arguably why it would have been funnier. It's not impossible, but less plausible. And people would be like "What? Ryan Reynolds? How?" The joke would still have worked.

reply

I'm heading there now to post it there too.

reply

I would never joke about someone who is sick, especially someone I'm a fan of like Mr. Bridges.
