Title: Heath Ledger is dead...
Post by: Java on January 22, 2008, 03:33:25 PM
The man who played the Joker in Batman: The Dark Knight (post-production) died today...

There's not much information on his death.

I'm still going to see The Dark Knight when it comes out.
He looked like he played a really good Joker.

My condolences go to his family.

Wait, where they finished making that movie?

Im very sad about this, he was a great actor, he played in the Patriot, Lords of Dogtown, Brokeback Mountain, and of course the new Batman Movie. He overdosed on sleeping pills i believe, took a some, they weren't working, so he took more(My guess and most logical reason).

Just like Superman.

Every actor who died after or during playing as Superman around a couple years after the role.

Correct?

Where was he in the patriot?

Haven't seen that movie in forever.

It's also not cursed. Rumors like that are usually twisted to fit the purpose. Go look at Snopes.com, it'll most likely give you info on it.

I was trying to think whether I should try really hard to dredge up some sorrow about some rich guy I'll never meet, who I didn't know, whose movies I never watched, whose name I've only heard before in passing, etc.

For shame. I always felt that there was a severe lack of movies about gay cowboys in Hollywood.

In all seriousness, this is absolutely terrible, especially considering how young he was.

Heath Ledger didn't even play Batman.
He played the Joker...

Anyway, as far as I know,  Brandon Routh, Michael Keaton, Val Kilmer, George Clooney, and Christian Bale are still alive....

The only person who died was Christopher Reeve and that was 20 years later.

Please, I've already heard enough about his death already.

I don't get why anyone cares THAT MUCH.

It's just one death out of the hundreds of thousands of deaths that happened on the day that he died.

Not that I am not feeling sympathy for his friends and family, I am feeling sympathy, BUT WHY DO PEOPLE MAKE SUCH A BIG DEAL ABOUT CELEBRITIES!?!?!?!?!  THEY'RE JUST SOME RICH PEOPLE THAT HAD MAJOR ROLES IN BIG MOVIES, BIG WHOOP.  THEY'RE JUST LIKE ANYONE ELSE DOING THEIR JOB.

Sorry, but I have a big peeve for the media's obsession over the celebrities.

This is the only thread on this board and was made shortly after his death...

I was only trying to inform the people that didn't know.

Except, Heath was a healthy man. He was a good person, and a good actor. He died, while other Hollywood stars are busy getting arrested and destroying their heath. People actually looked forward to his work, plus he has a daughter. Excuse me for caring.
