Okay, you NEED to see The Full Monty and The Station Agent. They are my favorite films from Mark Addy and Peter Dinklage and they really get to show their range as well as both having awesome casts in general and excellent writing.
I should probably start at the beginning. April 1999 I read the junior novelization for Star Wars: Episode One. I wrestled with not telling my mom about QuiGon but we both loved the character so much already that I felt I should. I told her before we went to the movie that he would die and how. Afterwards, she thanked me for preparing her.
A couple weeks after DMC came out in July 2006, an early script was leaked for AWE. It had James dying but this wasn't confirmed for me until January 2007. This time, I didn't tell my mom specifics but she said she knew when it was coming because I started squirming a LOT. In the case of James, she said she almost wanted to just get it over with since it would be so unpleasant.
I know who and by who and possibly how with a general idea of when. You know, everyone always associates Joss with death like you're a moron if you didn't think he was going to kill someone off but I have never associated Joss that way. Not all my favorite characters were killed off or if they were, they were bought back in some way...usually. He also lets characters actually mourn characters and still remember them years later...
*sorry I'm still pissed at Russell T Davies and others who are good at killing people off but not in effective ways*
