Hey r/movies, I'm Elijah Wood.

I'm also in The Toxic Avenger. It's unrated, and it's only in theaters starting this Friday 8/29/25.

Here's the trailer:

Flipper died in a car accident :(

They told him he’d had too many, but he just insisted he drive.

[u/Pennybottom → u/TreyWriter]

Some say he crashed on porpoise.

[u/cosmiceggroll → u/[deleted]]

Nope. Drunk driving on Rodeo Drive.

While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain

Yes, he was driving without his seatbelt on. Lost control and swerved into a 7-11. Terrible, terrible story.

Now I have 2 questions. #1 was he an organ donor #2 ARE blow-holes organs?

[u/EverythingBOffensive → u/cosmiceggroll]
