Note: the original tumblr is inaccurately named as there are also a dogs, a cat, and sock puppets dying like Marion Cotillard. If this makes the whole enterprise more interesting to you, you should probably know this.

This is a very finely-grained meme.

She really lights up a room, through sheer tyranny of will.

Is this like the Shimi Skywalker Death Flop?

Oooh, better like Marion Coutillard than like Zuleikha Robinson's character Gaia in Rome.

Stabbed a billion times after a major toss-up down the pub and knowing she was done for, Gaia made an unwise deathbed confession that got her finally choked to death and publicly dumped in a sewage-filled river. The gurgling sounds she made as Ray Stevenson's Titus Pullo was throttling her were epic, though, as such things go.

Drama!

Or, for that matter, like Zuleikha Robinson's character on LOST. Is she the female equivalent of Sean Bean?

The juggler's death is the best.

No one dies? What? Was that scene not the "little death" ?

It's good, but it's no "Oh my."

The TDK is one of those movies that's just going to pale and look worse every time you revisit it, isn't it?

Also, Marion Cotillard didn't actually die.

I sure hope Uggie of "The Artist" fame is in there somewhere...

Compared to People I've Labeled As Dying Like Marion Cotiallard, When In Fact They Are Not, So That We May Share A Feeling Of Ironic Superiority, this is like Mr. T Ate My Balls.
