I imagine Hanks' performance can also be due to Luhrmann's direction. Moulin Rouge is actually in my top 5 favorite movies (hush) and most of the characters in it are as you described Hanks as being. And I think it works fine in Moulin Rouge, but it sounds bad for a biopic. Still want to see it, though.
People magazine is reporting that she has died. >

Just saw it on the news at the bar, reporting dead.  Sad how sometimes history repeats itself in odd ways >

I wouldn't call it "odd", considering heart issues can be genetic, she has a history of multiple drug abuse, has been dealing with grief for the past two years, and has shown signs of being physically weak in the last months.
I get what you're saying, but this doesn't come off like some horribly odd tragedy, it comes off like a horribly preventable tragedy. >

How does this come off as “preventable”? >

Drugs are bad mmmkay >

Priscilla has made a statement saying Lisa Marie passed. RIP. >

First her husband, grandson, and now her daughter. No one deserves to lose that many people in their life. >

If you live long enough, you're going to lose a lot of loved ones. Priscilla is 77. >

I'm a paramedic and have worked probably hundreds of cardiac arrests. I've gotten a pulse back on 5-10%. out of every 10 we get a pulse back, only 2-3 or so actually go home again neurologically intact. It all depends on how long they are down before cpr was started. I've had many patients that we got a pulse back on that were declared brain dead due to being down too long. 
Things look bad, but I wasn't involved and don't know details on her case, but odds are heavily against her. >

I highly doubt he was without oxygen for 9 minutes considering how many medical personnel were there. Cpr was started within 2-3 minutes and we give oxygen and breaths during cpr. >

Right, but he was still getting oxygen in that time (forced into him by medical responders using a bvm - bag valve mask) >

This. From what I've read, so taking with a grain of salt, the body generally has a couple minutes worth of oxygenated blood when these cardiac events happen, so the amount of time Damar was without oxygen/blood circulation would be very minimal. He was also getting about the best emergency medical attention an American could get, with two dozen+ medical professionals on-site. >

I stumbled on this story because I just finished the Elvis movie last night and wanted to see how she was doing 😔 >

how was the movie? I've been meaning to see it. >

It's... Ok.
The guy who plays Elvis is awesome (and was very funny/charming on a recent SNL episode.)
But then in strolls Tom Hanks looking and acting like more a cartoon character than he did in Polar Express. Hanks performance doesn't really work, and it's a bit of a mess. It also suffers from the Baz Luhrman problem where he inserts hip-hop in to eras that don't call for it. There's some really weird remixing of Elvis songs going on.
Overall I'd give it a 2.5 out of 5.
