Damn this was a sad moment. Of course I've read the novel that the original Dangerous Liasions was based on, however it is sad to see one of America's more handsome creatures be so brutally killed.

Brutally killed? He was only run over by a taxi - it was a very tame death!

However, to get everybody's juices flowing in a healthy manner, here is the hunk himself, relaxing in some manly night attire. (This picture is from the 2006 "Stud Muffins" calendar that is hanging on my wall)

Self-Sacrifice. He jumped into the traffic to save Annette, who Ronald accidently pushed into the street(caught up in the moment when he attacked Sebastian).

Ronald attacked him because Sebastian's evil stepsister (who'd have guessed they existed outside fairy tales?) Kathrine lied to Ronald that Sebastian attacked her, after Sebastian left to tell Annette the truth about the Kathrine's scheme that he was in on(which would destroy Katharine's reputation and thus severely affect her influence over the school).

I don't think this death is entirely within the spirit of self-sacrifice (as I intended when I wrote that category anyway).
Valmont does die attempting to save a life, it is true - but it's not clear that he knows he is going to die himself. It's a bit of a border-line case, but in my opinion it was more of an instinctive rush to save her life, and if he'd been a bit faster he could have made it.

If you look at the other deaths in that category, they should all be people who are under no delusions that they will survive, but act anyway.

As I read this one sentence death review I should take this moment to thank you, thank you Old bluffer for posting the picture that adorns this small but oh-so-significant message board this very instant. I am now safe in my prediction that from now on when I begin and end every single day that that photo will be the single picture that haunts every faculty of my mind.

And then when I am older and wiser, when I lay in bed and go to make love to my beautiful wife, I will by completely immobilized because that image will be burned and scarred into my soft, fragile mind forever and ever and ever and ever.

In fact, even when I lay on my death-bed and hug my perfect son one last time to tell him he is a man and that I love him, the only thing I will be able to think of is that image, and it will be the final thought in my mind as I say goodbye to my children and slowly descend in to the fires of hell. And when the devil raises his pitch-fork to begin my torment, on the tip of his staff he will brandish that same picture directly in front of my face for every waking moment of my eternal torment.

So thank you, Old Bluffer, for introducing me to that wondrous picture of such a wondrous man and for opening so many doors in my life that otherwise would have never even been approached. I will now think of you when I am writing my memoirs and thank you as the one who changed my life forever.
