  • I'd question the more grandiose claims here, as if he was some sort of celebrity. As for his fame as a writer, most of his literary legacy seems to be the fictional reviews he posted on IMDB about lost movies which, though the courtesy of an equally fictitious J. Paul Getty-style billionaire film-fan friend's impossible collection, "MacIntyre" alone was able to screen for himself. It's fantasist nonsense.

  • Fumes from the garbage probably got to him...

  • thanks for sharing this story, he was a talented writer and his legacy will live on forever in his work, take care

  • Wow, that's so crazy. Very interesting, but sad
