POPSClips from The Shawshank Redemption When this movie was released I was preparing for my first Med cruise in the Navy. Fear ruled my every thought. The idea of journeying to foreign lands by sea didn't agree with my sense of security. While watching Shawshank I learned that everything we do (each experience) has a reason even though we feel it does not fit into our life design. I always come back to this thought: Before I came on this earth to experience my life, I signed a contract agreeing to everything that I would experience, seen or unseen. When I signed up for the Navy, I did just that. Now looking back on the Med cruise I would not have it any other way. The only regret I have concerns my lack of attention to details and not documenting the experience through photographs or journals. Relying on my memories is really not an accurate means of collecting facts.

POPS8 Fictional Characters Who Died Too Early Well, I can not say I agree with the list all in total (Segal was not a big loss and a Video Game Character???) but overall, a well-reasoned list. A few key actors or roles I would have considered: Powers Booth in Red Dawn Orrie Main (Patrick Swazey) in North & South: Book III Laurence J. Fishbun in Deep Blue Christian Slater (no, not David Arquette) in 3000 Miles to Graceland Drew Barrymore in Scream Joker (jack Nicholson) not too early in the movie but in the series! George C. Scott in Taps. Morgan Freeman in The Sum of All Fears... Just a few off the top of my head and I am sure we all can think of others but this is a wonderful site for lists and this one (other than foe the inclusion of a video game) is a good list.
