Heath Ledger is Dead...
 

Wow, shocker. Brad Renfro (Bully) died the other day.

no fucking way! that is a name that I am sure no one had put on their 2008 death watch lists.

that sucks. he was young and on his way to a long carreer.

Dec. 8, 2007, marked the 27th anniversary of John Lennon's murder.

Wasn't expecting that one. I'm pretty sure he had a little girl with that one chick from Brokeback.....sad.

yeah he leaves behind a 2 year old daughter...

since it was suicidel it's probably a good thing he left her behind rather than take her with him :eek:

Wow. Just wow. I really never saw that coming, that is so messed up. I wonder if that will effect the release of the new Batman?

I like his movies, always been a fan of his stuff, this is just sudden.

Oh come on. How could anyone see anything like this coming? What's more, who cares.

God, I hate celebrity news. Even when it's celebrities I like. Our culture is so fucked up.

yes. thank you. now please join my upcoming hate hillary thread.

Didn't even think of that one....fuck!!

Hee hee. I hate all the presidential candidates. There's nobody good.

deathxplotation =GOLDMINE

Sure, but they may decided to put off the release, in good taste.

Nah, rush it out there! Marketing, marketing, marketing! There's big bucks in tragic death.

I thought something was beginning to smell.

True, but putting it off one month in good taste could work for that same purpose...

he was in the midst of filming the latest Gilliam flick.

sayin'

record companies made mad money off of this dead fat fuck


and this dead fuck too

Tupac wins IMO.

Man, this sucks. Heath was a good actor and seemed like a genuinely nice guy. This makes me want to see the Dark Night even more, to see what his last movie was like.

Just a theory, he said that preparing for the Joker role took a huge toll on his ability to sleep. So, perhaps, a sleeping-med overdose?

man, a sleeping med overdose would entail quite a lot of pills eaten.

Yeah, i guess so, but they did find him in (Mary-Kate Olsen's) apartment, on the bed, with pills all around.

Edit: Ok, I'm reading conflicting accounts, some say Mary-Kate's, some say it was his own. Plus, some places are saying that the pills appeared to be sleeping pills.

So, I'm done jumping to conclusions.

Fucking twins, I'm ashamed of my signature right now.

Did she drive him to it, do you think?

wow. Im shocked.

I knew the board would be talking about this.

There is a positive in all this of course. Now all the cable news people can have something else to talk about besides Britney. And wall street and the recession? Old hat. It's going to be all Heath for weeks and weeks with all kinds of creative conjecture and in-depth looks. This is the very thing these people went to journalism school and trained for!

I'm sure Robin Meade will even come up with some kind of bubbly survey related to it for her morning headline news show.

every board is talking about this.

btw,
my cousin just directed me to an interesting bit of wikipedia info

(the two paragraphs under Ledger's name)

and it's corresponding NYT article

(CTR+F the word "sleep")

makes a lot of sense when thought about.
the role of The Joker and the toll it took on his preparing for it could very well be the culprit.

guess this thread answers my previous question

Never heard of him.

I heard this when I woke up this morning. Sad fucking news. He was a nice guy, a talented actor, and had basically just reached where any actor would want to reach in Hollywood.

I was just thinking of watching Two Hands the other day. Great film.

he will be the Joker in Dark Knight. oh man.

Wow, I'm really sorry to hear this. I've been excited for the new Batman flick for awhile now. His portrayal of the Joker looks really interesting, and creepy. In any case, that role should be an odd swan song.

I just heard/read this too.. this is totally unexpected. though, I dont actually follow celebs. but he just didnt seem like that type of person? weird.

this is kinda sad since one of my favorite movies is 10 things i hate about you.

and yeah, that batman movie is going to come out, hell it might come out before schedule, anybody remember the crow?

You're so cool, dude.
