I think it's kind of macabre that they're airing this.

I doubt that anyone who knew and worked with him was very enthusiastic about finishing up that last documentary.

Steve did what he did so that the world could learn.  It would be a disservice to him not to watch.  Though I want to cry every time I see him in reruns now.

I don't find anything eerie about it at all.  Unfortunately people die in their line of work every day, but most aren't famous.  My guess is that he probably would have wanted it aired rather than just shelfing his work.

And although he will be missed by his fans as well as his young family...He seemed to have lived and died on his own terms...and there is beauty as well as dignity in that.

There is a fantasy sequence in the movie "Beyond The Sea" where the older Bobby Darin and the child Bobby Darin are gazing down at their beloved dead grandmother in her coffin.  Their sense of loss is palpable.

The music swells in the background, and the child looks up at the Kevin Spacey and says "You need to go out there now.  I will be fine here."  Kevin Spacey turns and walks through the curtains to give his show.

I get all misty when I see that scene.

I think he is trying to say that the person was not killed on the set of one of his movies.

Well naturally, but what I am saying is that a lot of people die during the making of films.  Brandon Lee is another one.  Is it disrespectful to him to air his film?  No, of course not.  It is a masterpiece and deserves to be shown.

The way I feel, it does not matter if it is fiction or non fiction, the deceased would no doubt want their legacy carried on.  I see it as a fitting tribute personally.

I thought I read on yahoo that they were going to be using footage from the day he died. I could be wrong, yahoo could be wrong, who knows?

My two cents is that Steve probably would have wanted it shown. I mean, its a project he literally gave his life to complete. Wouldn't it be sad if it just gathered dust in a vault somewhere?

Edited to add: how come of the five people that expressed the exact same sentiment, I was the only one that got questioned on it?
