The Billy Bob curse...

Anyone heard about this?

TJ walsh
John Ritter (Both in Sling blade)
Heath Ledger (Monster Ball).

All died unexpedectly/way too young.

Now Patrick Swayze has cancer (which I really hope he pulls through)
Natasha Richardson just had a tragic accident that no one really knows what her condition is, again, hopefully she pulls through it and no reports of her being brain dead are right).

Seems a lot of people that work with him don't have that much luck afterwards, maybe it is just a coincidence, still a bit eerie though.

Bernie Mac who was in 'Bad Santa' with Thornton is another.

Man, I was thinking yesterday when I saw this post, "Sweet...does that make Skankelina next?" Glad I'm not the only one thinking that.

Don't forget Brad Renfro who appears in the upcoming "The Informers" with Billy Bob.

John Ritter did three movies, acting opposite Billy Bob: Sling Blade, A Gun, a Car, a Blonde and Bad Santa. He died of a heart attack, a few months after completing Bad Santa.

For truth's sake: John Ritter didn't die of a heart attack.

The curse goes on,dude. Swayze didn't escape it.

p.s: By the way,you forgot Peter Boyle who played his father in "Monster's Ball".

Charlize Theron better be watching her back...and increasing her insurance.

That being said, I'm saddened that we lost Patrick Swayze and Natasha Richardson.

At least Peter Boyle died an old man and lived a full life.....

Holy *beep*. It's like the goth version of the Kevin Bacon Game!

You can't explain love. If you could, it would be called something else.
