OK- get ready for the CREEPY part of the story! I haven't even told Mike this yet:

As you may have heard, he died a day before his new film was set to premiere at Sundance. That film is called The Darwin Awards, based on the popular website that tracks the fates of people who make stupid decisions.

There is a scene in that film with Chris Penn, and fellow stars Winona Ryder and Joseph Fiennes.

The scene is filmed in a bar.

That bar is located at... 1304 Lincoln Ave. Alameda, CA. This may ring a bell to some readers of this website....

That's right: Chris Penn filmed his last scene at the future home of FORBIDDEN ISLAND!!!!!!

NO SHIT!

Is this a bad omen? I'm not sure. But Metallica is also in this film, and they do like their tiki. I think we need a set of those bobbleheads...

Isn't that weird?
