【ALL about the mysterious case of Jonathan Brandis】
▒▒▒▒↳I do not intend to offend anyone, just inform, feel free to share this post if you want.
Jonathan Brandis
• Biography;
Jonathan Gregory Brandis was born in Connecticut, in the year 1976, average 1’77, and He was an only child, but soon moved with his parents Greg and Mary to the city of Los Angeles, in California.
Since he was little he already had a very striking natural beauty.
Tumblr media
He began his film career at the age of 11 when, after working in advertising, intervening in television commercials from a very young age, he appeared in episodes of well-known series, including "Who's the Boss?" L.A Law”,“ Murder, She Wrote ”or“ The Wonder Years ”. Her film start came with a brief role in the film starring Michael Douglas and Glenn Close "Fatal Attraction" (1987).
Tumblr media
He subsequently appeared in Jeff Burr's "The Stepfather 2" (1989); starred in the sequel to "The Never Ending Story" directed by George Miller in 1989; and starred in "Sidekicks" (1992), a martial arts film starring Chuck Norris.
Tumblr media
“The role that would bring him to fame would be that of Bill Denbrough in the 90's mini series It, the killer clown, based on the work of Stephen King.”
Tumblr media
For seven years he took a film hiatus. He worked extensively on television, in telefilms and series, such as "SeaQuest DSV", a Steven Spielberg production that made him very popular in the United States.
In 1999 he resumed his career on the big screen, working with Michael Corrente and the Farrelly brothers in the comedy "Outside province" (1999), with Ang Lee in the western "Cabalga Con El Diablo ”(1999), or with Bruce Willis and Colin Farrell in“ Hart's War ”(2002), film directed by Gregory Hoblit. Brandis, as well as an actor, also made his first steps as a director, directing an episode of the aforementioned series "SeaQuest".
Tumblr media
↳Relationship;
•He was a boyfriend of the actresses Vinessa Shaw, his co-star in the movie "Ladybugs" (1992); Tatyana Ali, with whom she shared credits in the telefilm "Falling To Darkness" (1996), Heather McComb, Tiffani-Amber Thiessen and Monica Keena, co-star of "Bad Girls From Valley High" (2000).
Tumblr media
•Death;
If you have already come this far, we start with the causes that led to his death.
As the years passed, it ceased to have a major role in Hollywood. the producers stopped calling him, his beauty and fame were crumbling like the Berlin wall.
So how was the most famous boy actor of the 90's being soll an ordinary man?
Both his family and loved ones admitted that Jonathan had not been feeling well lately, falling into depression with no return. Not a single word of love could comfort the young man's broken heart.
The last film that this actor made Hart's war. However this was very bad for Jonathan, who after finishing his filming, would find out that finally the directors decided to DELETE ALL THEIR SCENES.
«This was the last straw, they finally shot him down. He had removed the little prince from his fantastic world which he always saw as normal»
His friends assure that he did not leave his room even to eat.
At the end of the night of November 11, 2003, around 11:40 pm, a friend of the actor called the police to report that Jonathan Brandis was seriously injured after trying to commit suicide by hanging, which would be the final causes of his death occurred at 2:45 p.m. on November 12, 2003 at the Cedars-Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles.
Tumblr media
↳My opinion
• Jonathan Brandis is the living representation that if you are famous as a child, you will hardly be able to thrive into adulthood.
Too bad several young actors end up like this, one of the cases that I can mention, very similar to this, is the case of Macaulay Culkin, who although he did not commit suicide, if he spent a long time on drugs and depression, although thank God he is rehabilitated today .
Unfortunately for Jonathan, he found himself alone in his own world, he stopped being the perfect son of Hollywood, the loss of fame and money left him so low that his only solution was to hang himself. He belongs to the famous club of 27, since he died at age 27.

BUDDY GAMES (2019)
Starring Josh Duhamel, Dax Shepard, Dan Bakkedahl, Nick Swardson, Kevin Dillon, James Roday, Olivia Munn, Linda Darlow, Lucie Guest, Stephen Farrelly, Jensen Ackles, and Neal McDonough.
Screenplay by Josh Duhamel, Jude Weng, Bob Schwartz.
Directed by Josh Duhamel.
Distributed by Saban Films. 97 minutes. Rated R.
A couple of years ago, there was a pretty awful comedy called Tag, a “based-on-a-true-story” bore about a bunch of jerky 30-something guys who have had an ongoing tag game for decades, in which the guys would do anything to win the crown, including fighting, injuring each other, hurting innocent bystanders and playing scatological pranks on each other. The movie was a deserved bomb, quickly forgotten – as should be.
Now, here comes Buddy Games to do the seemingly impossible (as well as incomprehensible), be a cheesier, uglier, and less funny rip off of the idea of that already terrible film. Buddy Games even blatantly steals Tag’s tag line and uses it word for word in the script: “We don’t stop playing because we get old; we get old because we stop playing.”
Believe me, Buddy Games makes Tag look like an Oscar contender. Just the fact that several talented actors actually made this film is just depressing. Even worse, Josh Duhamel, an actor I’ve always kind of liked, not only co-stars in this ensemble, but he also co-wrote this big stinking turd and made it his directorial debut.
Talk about starting at the bottom.
And he drags some Hollywood buddies down in the muck with him. Every single character in this film is absolutely obnoxious. Granted, the bigger names (well, slightly bigger names) – Dax Shepard, Kevin Dillon, James Roday and Duhamel himself – play slightly less obnoxious characters.
Oh, they are all disgusting in their own ways, but the real heavy lifting of odiousness is done by Dan Bakkedahl (who has apparently been in Veep, but I don’t remember him, really) and Nick Swardson (one of the least funny members of Adam Sandler’s posse – and remember that includes Rob Schneider).
They all play a bunch of childhood buddies who get together every year to do a bunch of extreme games, which is really just an excuse to get drunk, make fun of each other and occasionally tea bag each other when one of them passes out. (There is a LOT of testicular humor in Buddy Games, as well as one of the guys losing his balls being a major plot point.)
I could say more about Buddy Games, but really, what’s the point? If you think a bunch of grown-assed men hitting each other in the nut sack is the height of comedy, then maybe you’ll want to give Buddy Games a shot. The rest of us should avoid it like the plague.

Characters: Wade Barrett/Sheamus Verse: Western Quote: Do I frighten you so much?
There had always been certain animosity between the Irish and the British. They had warred, as the British had a tendency to do with all peoples, and Stephen Farrelly, like most Irishmen, had been raised on tales of how bad the British could be. He carried them with him, from his time in the war to his new life as a railway worker in Sacramento, California. It was a job that provided meals and a place to stay. It paid $35 a month, a small tent, and a hearty meal. It wasn't glamorous, but it was something.
In fact, the only thing he really hated about his job was his boss, a man by the name of Stuart Bennett. A Brit.
Stuart Bennett was not so affectionally called Bad News Barrett by the men who worked for him. He was a hard man to please and often took more pleasure than he should in the delivering of bad news. The men had two key reactions to Stuart's existence. Either they feared him, which was the key reaction that Stu intended on, or they detested him. Either way, it gave Stuart the feeling of power that he so desperately craved.
The night was dark, the only source of light were the few scattered campfires that provided the men their evening entertainment. Stephen had a few fellow men he sat around with fire with. There was Drew Galloway, a barrel-chested kind-hearted giant of a man who always had a kind smile on his face and told soft stories. There was Fergal Devitt, the youngest Irishman in the camp whose eyes seemed to hold some sort of secret. And then there was a man they simply called Wolfgang, who said very few words but was quick with a laugh. They were warm, good-hearted people and Stephen often felt at home and at ease with them.
"I miss home," Finn whispered as he leaned against a crate, sadness in his normally ice blue eyes, "Do ye lo' miss home?"
"Och, nae," Drew shook his head automatically, "I had nae back home. Here? Here I have me a lady love. Nae troubles here fer me, laddie."
"Except for Big Nose Barruh," Stephen laughed, tossing his head back, "Tha' man is all of our troubles."
"I heard he's go' a lover in town," Finn gossipped, his voice hushed as nervous blue eyes danced around the group.
"Wha's the deal with tha'?" Drew chuckled, "We've all go' our loves. Wolfgang has Miss Niven at the saloon. I've go' Miss Charlotte. Hell, even ye have eyes fer Miss Francesca a' the saloon. Barruh is allowed his dalliances."
"I heard it's with a man," Finn quickly followed up. It was no secret that some frowned on having a lover of the same sex. Stephen was not one of those men simply for the fact that he dabbled with male lovers. During the war, his closest friend and occasional lover had been shot in the chest by enemy forces. Stephen had watched Claudio die in his arms, and since then he had not found a lover he didn't have to pay for.
"Why's tha' matter?" Stephen huffed, standing up. He was taller than Finn and had it been either of the other two, his size would not have helped in the intimidation factor.
The smile that took Finn's lips was a little rebellious, "Because I heard tha' Barruh isn't the mon."
Now that was quite the statement. It was almost as if Finn had brought it up for Stephen's benefit, one look at Finn's mischevious grin was enough, but it was confirmed by the young man jutting his head in the direction of the small home occupied by their foreman. As Stephen found himself wandering in that direction, he also found himself wondering why. Stuart Bennett was a Brit, one of the smarmy upper-crust types who had fought to keep men like Stephen down his entire life. To be fair, though, Barrett was different than most. There were whispers around camp that Bennett came from low stock, that he was a self-made man. It was also whispered that Bennett had once been a boxer, and from the state of his nose, Stephen could believe it.
The further the Irishman went from the men's camp, the darker the path to the house got. Stephen had been ready to turn and head back to the tents when he heard footsteps on the path behind him. Instinct took over and he turned with a swing, only to find himself on his back in the dirt. "Do I frighten you so much, boy?" came the heavily accented question. It took Stephen's eyes a few minutes to adjust to the light but when they did, a smirk crossed the Irishman's lips.
"Fear a puff?" came the Irish brogue, though the feeling of Stuart's foot was applying pressure. "Never."
"What did you call me?" Stuart demanded, steel blue eyes staring down into the deep green emerald orbs.
"A puff? Never heard that one before?" Maybe you've been called a punk? Or a member of a bachelor marriage?" Stephen reiterated, pushing himself up off of the ground. "You. enjoy. men."
Stuart snorted, backing up with a shrug, "So? If you think you can beat my ass for-"
"Oh I bet ye'd like tae be near me arse," Stephen smirked, crossing his arms over his chest.
"You know that's not what I bloody meant," sneered Stuart, though his eyes took in the other gentleman's direction. He couldn't deny the Irishman was handsome and he hoped that Irishman thought the same thing. Judging from the look in the emerald eyes, he felt the same way. "I see how you're looking at me, lad. You desire me."
"Desire ye? Bah, I dinnae like ye, ye scummy Brit," Stephen laughed, hurling the word Brit as if it were an insult to the man. The two locked eyes, Stephen being the first to realize how tantalizingly close they were to each other. Stephen took a deep breath, able to take in the scent that was uniquely Stuart. It was aftershave and leather, with the faintest after tones of roses and pipe tobacco. Stuart, in the same aspect, could smell Stephen. He had an earthy smell, of smoke from the fire, and the faintest smell of whiskey.
"Then why were you headed towards my home, love?" Stuart smirked, almost challengingly, as he licked his lips.
"Heard ye were easy tae tormen'," Stephen watched the movements of the man across from him. "Need the company?"
Stuart hesitated, eyes glancing from the dark path towards his small home, to Stephen and then towards the small camp where Stephen had come from. "Did anyone see you come this way? Were you followed?"
"Nae," Stephen denied, though it was a lie. Stuart didn't need to know the truth of the situation.
"And if the rest of your fellow workers ask where you were last night, will you deny that you were here?" the accented voice questioned, one eyebrow raised.
"Vehemently," was the quick reply.
The Brit took one more glance from the Irishman in front of him, to the home he owned, before gesturing with his head. There were no words, no quips, just a quiet nod of confirmation. It was all that needed to be done.
