[Kif]

I just read the headline at CNN. This is just so messed up.

[Let's Chop Cats!]

If this effects The Dark Knight I'm gonna be pissed.

[clairvoyant]

Wow, pretty crazy. I am/was really looking forward to that new Batman movie he is/was in.

[AlmightyHustle]

Wow...this is very messed up. I can't believe this.

[Mister_Che]

One of the links says he was in the middle of filming another movie. I don't think it'll affect the movie.

[AlmightyHustle]

It definitely won't affect Dark Knight. They're done filming with that. Hard to believe thats the last of his career though.

[Kif]

If this effects The Dark Knight I'm gonna be pissed.
As insensitive as this might sound, it might boost the sales. This was his last film after all.

Hopefully we'll get some details about it soon, but still, what are you supposed to say about this?

[Ganondorf]

Rip

[AlmightyHustle]

It's safe to assume the too soon rule is in effect at this point.

[beans]

this better not affect the dark knight, i wanna see that movie bad

[Dies Irae]

It also wasn't funny at all.

[Knifeboy]

This sucks

[Kif]

It's safe to assume the too soon rule is in effect at this point.
Why so serious?

I'm going to hell :(

[-Listy-]

awful :(

at the jokes but moreso at the news :(

[beans]

haha yeah probably dont worry ill meet you there and we'll both laugh about it

[Let's Chop Cats!]

CAUSE OF DEATH DETERMINED!!!! batman got to him

[DJ Ducksauce]

Holy crap that sucks.

[Knifeboy]

Why so serious?

I'm going to hell :(


This was really really funny

:(

[Kage]

Yikes.

[4yearpro?]

other links say drug related

[Alf™]

I liked the guy. He was pretty cool. This sucks.

[corb]

Terrible news. On msn it said drugs may have been a factor T_T

rip

[Aficionado]

why are we talking about his movies in this thread, we should be mourning his death. Poor guy RIP.

[beans]

**** mourn? i didnt know the damn guy, im not gonna mourn, ill say it sucks, thats about it

[Jawaharal]

I will mourn his death by watching the Order.

[Turkish]

Sucks a lot, I bet The Dark Knight would've boosted his popularity tenfold, he probably would've landed more roles.

[Zakath]

why are we talking about his movies in this thread, we should be mourning his death. Poor guy RIP.

hmm I dunno maybe because he was an ACTOR just a thought

[Aficionado]

but he was still a PERSON, you should atleast be sympathetic about it.

[beans]

i am, it really does suck. and i feel sorry for all his family and friends. but i didnt personally know him so im not going to 'mourn' him perse

[Zakath]

but he was still a PERSON, you should atleast be sympathetic about it.

if he was just a person we wouldn't even be talking about him or a meaningless death

he was an actor, and a celebrity so I don't understand why you are whining about people talking about his movies

you should be grateful there are hardly any jokes or cruel comments in this thread that might hurt your poor bleeding heart

[Kif]

I am sympathetic, but honestly I didn't watch any of his movies (That will change when TDK comes out though), so what do you want me to do? I'm sad that it happened, but I can't talk about how much I loved his work or anything.

[beans]

im glad some other people share my view on the matter

[Zakath]

he was an academy award nominated faggot, that's about the most positive thing I can say about him

[beans]

haha damn...i didnt go there

[Aeaon]

Dear god, I can't believe this.

[benfan]

R.I.P to the guy.

Wasnt the best actor iv seen but by no means the worst.
Still is pretty messed up for a young guy like that to die famous or not.

Im arguing with a friend about whether or not The Dark Knight will be released,
i say it will still be released, what do you lot think?

[Incognito]

Now this is the Zakath I remember!

Anyway, IF the drugs turn out to be true I'll have trouble having sympathy for him. If it is the case then it was his own stupidity that got him killed, I feel more sorry for his family.

Anyway, considering the filming of TDK is done, I hardly think it'll effect the movie at all, they'll probably just tag on a "In Memory" at the end.

[Zakath]

Im arguing with a friend about whether or not The Dark Knight will be released,
i say it will still be released, what do you lot think?

they will definitely just cancel the whole thing

[dub sean]

Rip

[planewreck]

yes they will cancel it

aw shucks heath ledger died **** all of you and the money we spent on promos!

[DanD]

WHAT THE ****

[beans]

are you serious? they cant just cancel the entire film can they?

[planewreck]

hahahaha

you

[jrowa001]

oops i didnt see this thread already. i posted a link in the R&M forum. this is really sad

[Let's Chop Cats!]

Hmm, rumors are that playing the Joker ****ed with his head/sleeping patterns so much that he got little to no sleep while filming. OD'd on sleeping pills trying to get back to normal, messed up.

More importantly is how will this effect the 3rd Batman movie.

[planewreck]

either recast the part or set it up so that he is killed in the passage between the two films

or that he disappears and comes back later older?

[Kif]

I really doubt that's true. Probably just a site trying to capitalize on his death.

[benfan]

they will definitely just cancel the whole thing

:(


Funny guy.


Whats even funnier is the fact that my mate likened it to the Matrix 3 not bieng released because of 9/11.





i should get new friends.

[Knifeboy]

More importantly is how will this effect the 3rd Batman movie.

I was thinking that too. Of course a third movie will be made, that's how hollywood works. But seeing how Christopher Nolan was already hesitant to keep going with the franchise, I think this'll in part mean that he won't go a long with the third one...

[beans]

dammit ok you got me

[simplephotographinthesun]

he will be forever immortalized in his youth like other young stars who met early ends (river phoenix, marilyn monroe, james dean, etc).

RIP Heath

[Danger Bird]

IF THE IMAGINARIUM OF DOCTOR PARNASSUS DOESN'T COME OUT I'M GOING TO DIG UP HEATH LEDGER'S CORPSE AND REARRANGE HIS ****ING FACE.

[planewreck]

well he was halfway through

[Rams]

"I wish I knew how to quit you."
-Heath to his pills

[Knifeboy]

With the magic of editing, they'll manage to complete the rest of the movie
editing this picture in every five minutes :
http://imagecache2.allposters.com/images/pic/MMPH/249525~Heath-Ledger-Posters.jpg

with a soundclip going "i'm not dead!"

[Rams]

They finished the Crow even though the star got shot dead on the set. I am putting Heath down for 3 more movies and some guest spots on 2Pac's next two albums.

[Akira]

Oh, YTMND...

[-Listy-]

how funny

[Timm]

Oh, YTMND...


http://rememberjoker.ytmnd.com/

hahaha


I really like that song :)

btw I feel sorry for his daughter, growing up without daddy and everything :(

but I really do like that song, I'll leave that site open for a couple of minutes
ok no I won't. could have put a bit more effort into editing, that's terrible

[dub sean]

wow, already theres a ytmnd for him...

[Danger Bird]

I really doubt The Dark Knight will be canceled.

[FakePlasticTrees]

The studio would be foolish not to release it now after they spent alot of money to produce it.

[Danger Bird]

Especially as filming has finished, like they're not just going to throw it in the garbage to show how much they love Heath Ledger. Wiki says he's "appearing posthumously" so I assume it's true, because Wikipedia is always right.

[Yield]

wow, already theres a ytmnd for him...

it's kind of weak, I only gave it three stars

[Hedgedive]

Heath Ledger
April 4, 1979 - January 22, 2008

he stole our hearts in 10 Things I Hate About You... well let me tell you Heath, these are 10 things I LOVE ABOUT YOU

1. your dimples are awesome
2. when you play the Joker it will be awesome
3. when you knock knights off horses it is awesome
4. when you have gay cowboy sex with Jake Gyllenhaal it's err... awesome
5. when you died in the Patriot it was sad but awesome
6. when you vomited in Monster's Ball it was sorta grose but awesome
7. same thing when you killed yourself in Monster's Ball grose and sad but awesome
8. when you played Bob Dylan in I'm Not There it was awesome I didn't see it but Bob Dylan is awesome therefore you are awesome
9. when you beat up paparazzi it is awesome
10. you had sex with Naomi Watts which was probably awesome

WE WILL MISS YOU DEARLY :'(

[Mr. Ron]

Yeah my gf told me this on the phone not too long ago. Sucks.

[Hababi]

That's gonna put a real eerie tint on the next Batman...

[Yield]

Although this is interesting, it still isn't enough to make me want to see the movie.

They should just edit jack nicholson from the original movie into the movie. The plotline would get ****ed, but who cares, it's Jack Nicholson.

[aria]

dam that sucks i was best friends wit him in high school

[Scuba_Steve]

srsly?

[bradc1988]

He was good in what I saw him in and he boned Naomi Watts so I take my hat of too him.

As it looks like his performance in TDK will be pretty much awesome, I wouldn't be surprised now if he wins some awards next year.

btw I feel sorry for his daughter, growing up without daddy and everything

That too.

[aria]

no not seriously i was lying

[Avalanche.]

What song is playing on the ytmnd homepage

[Rams]

What song is playing on the ytmnd homepage

Brokeback Mountain theme

[tablespoonful]

this is pretty weird... anna nicole dying is one thing, steve erwin is another thing, but this is kind of in its own bracket of weird

[Knifeboy]

anna nicole and steve irwing didn't really come as a surprise (well, I know most of us expected Steve to live forever, but you know what I mean)

this was pretty shocking, it's not like he was a know drug addict, or wrestled bears in his spare time

[Hababi]

it's not like he was a know drug addict

Apparently he was.

[Knifeboy]

*known

and no

[Hababi]

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/showbiz/showbiznews.html?in_article_id=509837&in_page_id=1773

[Mr. Ron]

One thing is for sure.


~*hIs EyeS wErE dReAmY*~

[Mr. Pickle]

Too bad, he was pretty cool.

[sadtaste]

Damn, terrible.

[planewreck]

idk i loved Brokeback Mountain, aside from that film it's surprising the amount of people in here that haven't seen his other films

[Knifeboy]

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/showbiz/showbiznews.html?in_article_id=509837&in_page_id=1773

stop being retarded

1. it says suspected, most other sources say it was sleeping pills
and
2. that doesn't change the fact that he wasn't a known drug-addict, you dimwit

[Mr. Ron]

Drugs are from Satan.

[Hababi]

2. that doesn't change the fact that he wasn't a known drug-addict, you dimwit

Actually it does.

[Knifeboy]

From IMDB Trivia:
"The Joker's character is based on his first two appearances in the comic books, as well as his portrayal in the graphic novel "The Killing Joke." To prepare for the role, Heath Ledger lived alone in a hotel room for a month researching the character and developing his performance, which he claims is based upon Sid Vicious and the character of Alex in A Clockwork Orange (1971). Ledger found the role extremely difficult, and suffered insomnia as a result."

And then he goes and dies from sleeping pills :/

tragic eh

[sadtaste]

Actually it does.

I didn't know he was a known drug addict.

[planewreck]

I really doubt this is a suicide. I think it's just an accidental overdose.

[Dies Irae]

courtney killed heath

[Mr. Ron]

I really doubt this is a suicide. I think it's just an accidental overdose.

lol that would suck so much

[Ficus]

She said Ledger once bought a bookcase at the home store, and purchased stuffed animals and dresses for his daughter at the children's store.

i think whats REALLY appalling is the journalistic integrity (or lack therof!) of the article

[Tillius]

I thought this was some kinda mistake when my friend told me about this until I got online and confirmed it.

R.I.P.:(

[sadtaste]

lol that would suck so much

Mr. Ron, your contributions to this thread are magnificent, you pos.

[Knifeboy]

I was hoping it was a really bad joke when I clicked on the thread untill I searched google news :/

[Mr. Ron]

Mr. Ron, your contributions to this thread are magnificent, you pos.

its sad but its no huge deal. Thousands die every day.

[Dies Irae]

thousands of heath ledgers??!?!?!?!!?!?!?!!?

[Knifeboy]

no huge deal? the joker just died D:

[Mr. Ron]

really, it sucks though. I liked him in broke back. I just don't feel any sort of emotion towards it all.

[sadtaste]

its sad but its no huge deal. Thousands die every day.

Yeah, no need to be a "Hey I'm so cool, I act indifferent to death" moron though.

[Hbp]

RIP

I wonder if they will still release the Batman movie. Was it even done?

[Mr. Ron]

Yeah, no need to be a "Hey I'm so cool, I act indifferent to death" moron though.

Why are you taking this so personally?


I'm not indifferent to death, like I said this sucks, but he's no different than anyone else.

[jasonresno]

I just can't believe it. I want to wake up tomorrow and find out that it is just a crazy twist in the viral marketing for batman. its juts so out of the blue.

rip.

[sadtaste]

Why are you taking this so personally?


I'm not indifferent to death, like I said this sucks, but he's no different than anyone else.

Forgive me for being human, Mr Ron, I forgot that this was the internet, but when I see a moron being a moron, I get annoyed.

I also forgot that death affects us all the same, my bad.

[Hababi]

RIP

I wonder if they will still release the Batman movie. Was it even done?

yes and yes

[RunAmokRampant]

It's just always disappointing to hear of one's death so prematurely.

[CarnageFairy]

Hm.

Ya never know which ones are gonna be around for a while and which ones are gonna die young/tragically.

[JumpTheF**kUp]

I've never seen a Heath Ledger movie :/

Poor bloke.

I felt sadder when Stevey Irwin died though.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

unexpected.

[Mr. Ron]

Forgive me for being human, Mr Ron, I forgot that this was the internet, but when I see a moron being a moron, I get annoyed.

I also forgot that death affects us all the same, my bad.

You must get annoyed at yourself quite often then. How do you sleep at night!?

[aria]

he also keeps tabs on posts made for up to 12 months ago mr ron so be careful its brewing inside and one day hes gonna snap and make a whole thread dedicated to u

[Mr. Ron]

:^0

[FakePlasticTrees]

Am I the only one here who doesn't care?

[Oriah]

Very unexpected, but still a sad story. I thought he was a very talented actor.

[Zakath]

Yeah, no need to be a "Hey I'm so cool, I act indifferent to death" moron though.
No need to be a "Hey I'm so feminine and kind-hearted, I care about everyone especially famous celebrities who die" twat though.
Am I the only one here who doesn't care?
yea I think so, can't you see everyone else in here is wearing black and weeping profusely as we mourn his passing?

[Danger Bird]

How can you not care? This affects the future of a movie that has Tom Waits as the Devil!

[FakePlasticTrees]

Don't care really.

He wasn't a friend or anything, so its pointless to give him more than two thoughts.

[tablespoonful]

whenever someone famous dies theres always those people who come into a thread like they're mentally evolved and superior human beings because they don't care it makes me lol like they've come to some higher realization

[Zakath]

whenever someone famous dies theres always those people who come into a thread like they're mentally evolved and superior human beings because they don't care it makes me lol

it has nothing to do with who the person is, what makes me lol is people posting threads about the person as if anyone on here actually really gives a damn

thanks

I use pictures to illustrate my point because you obviously can't comprehend what we're saying.

[Spiritofmosa]

now they will have to edit the credits of The Dark Knight and add something like "in memory of Heath Ledger" ...

solid actor with much potential, damn. from my home country as well :(

oh no i get it, it's just dumb because im pretty sure most everyone here realizes that we dont have to give damn and tbh i dont think anyone is genuinely mourning any celebs death cry cry boo hoo status, they moreso go "that sucks pretty much" which would the same emotional response one has for the guy down the street who died the same way or anyone else that far removed from your sphere of qualified-for-emotional-investment-individuals. the fact of the matter is 20th century celebrity explosion has put certain peoples onto a platform for of course some idiotic idolaters (probably not posting on this site) and just everyone in general to gawk at their lives which nobody can help so celebrities become a sort of "the guy down the street" or just plain myths and people invest themselves emotionally in fictional stories as well so they can at least be allowed to go "aw sucks" for heath ledger

but always superiorly intelligent people such as yourself come in to tell everyone they don't have to care like you're passing on a revelation you had about the nature of sympathy that you didnt have to care about celebrities well please you're a genius keep these newly discovered perspectives coming they're totally fresh and new and do a lot towards annihilating the cult of celebrity

but seriously dont tell people what they should or should not care for you're gay

[Zakath]

side effects man

[The Mickey Finn Special]

Geez, looks like he's been cheese'd up for the past few weeks.

But really, the Joker seems like a guy strung out on amphetamine or cocaine -- should be a good movie.

[sadtaste]

No need to be a "Hey I'm so feminine and kind-hearted, I care about everyone especially famous celebrities who die" twat though.

Another assumption, another fail.

[Iscariot]

Heard about this earlier. He OD'd on sleeping pills like a typical douchebag.

[Tillius]

I care in the sense that no, I'm not going to sit around crying about it but it sucks because he was a pretty good actor and seemed like a cool enough guy. No, he's no more important than some other random person who happens to die but if I care at all it's going to be for Ledger because I obviously know more about him than said random person.

[Against Miik!]

27 American soldiers have died so far in 2008.

But about Heath Ledger. I think his role as the Joker really messed him up. I heard he really got into it, and in this article I read he said in an interview that he was only getting like 2 hours of sleep a night at one point and that 2 Ambien only put him to sleep for an hour. Since he was found with sleeping pills next to his bed, I'm gonna say accidental overdose.

[class]

Or crazy theatrics where Ledger is just joking around.

hmm.

good riddance.


He's a moron for overdosing.


The only thing I'm concerned about now is what's going to happen with the new Batman movie.

[Iscariot]

There is nothing to be concerned about since they had already finished filming it.

[Alf™]

They don't really know what he died of. Why would he be a moron for overdosing?

[Understanding In a Crash]

If it's already done I don't see why they'd stop it. This has happened many occasion. As it is unfournate.

[Iscariot]

They don't really know what he died of. Why would he be a moron for overdosing?

The news here says he died of a sleeping pill overdose CATCH UP AUSTRALIA GODDAMN

[Kage]

Why would he be a moron for overdosing?

Why would he not?

[Iscariot]

Why would he not?

Some overdoses are accidental. Especially with sleeping pills. Your body builds up a tolerance to them over time and eventually it's a given that you are going to take too much trying to achieve a normal effect and end up injured or dead.

[Alf™]

The news here says he died of a sleeping pill overdose CATCH UP AUSTRALIA GODDAMN

No, the autopsy hasn't been done, that is just speculation!

[Iscariot]

No, the autopsy hasn't been done, that is just speculation!

Ok Alf that's it I will bet you $20 (23.25 AUS) that his death is a direct result of a sleeping pill overdose!

[g°®†]

There is nothing to be concerned about since they had already finished filming it.

*whew!*


They don't really know what he died of. Why would he be a moron for overdosing?

Because people who overdose are idiots. Moron = idiot.

If it's already done I don't see why they'd stop it. This has happened many occasion. As it is unfournate.

again, *whew!*

The news here says he died of a sleeping pill overdose CATCH UP AUSTRALIA GODDAMN

It's Australia. What do you expect?

Why would he not?

Some overdoses are accidental. Especially with sleeping pills. Your body builds up a tolerance to them over time and eventually it's a given that you are going to take too much trying to achieve a normal effect and end up injured or dead.


This may be the case, but I still think he was just a moron.

[aria]

he looks prety ****ed up in that vid

[Understanding In a Crash]

Sleeping pills aren't anything to mess with. Most medicines aren't. I wouldn't call him an idiot for an accident overdose (it's happened to many other people) as much it could of been ignorance. Then again who hasn't ruled out suicide?

[aria]

idk his family ruled out suicide id probly go with that

[Spiritofmosa]

theres enough evidence that suggests that he did an overdose, due to stress and lack of sleep.

[g°®†]

theres enough evidence that suggests that he did an overdose, due to stress and lack of sleep.



Stress and lack of sleep?



How about struggling to pay rent every month and feeding yourself while trying hard to get promoted to a full-time position at your job (working part-time at TWO JOBS at just under 40 hours at each) so that you can go back to school and get your degree, and doing all of that without a car, no health insurance, no dental insurance, nobody to fall back on financially, and oh ... working 7 days a week.


and, averaging a mere 3.5 hours of sleep per night.



I'm not suicidal. **** self-loathing asshats who take their problems to the bottom of a bottle (in this case, a pill bottle).

[Iscariot]

A bottle has a way of making bad things seem less bad.

[g°®†]

yeah ... every friday, I toss a bunch of beers down with my friends. It brings my spirits up, but it is in no way a way of alleviating 'stress' or personal issues. It's merely a way of having some fun.

[Alf™]

Ok Alf that's it I will bet you $20 (23.25 AUS) that his death is a direct result of a sleeping pill overdose!

lolno


Because people who overdose are idiots. Moron = idiot.

lolno


I'm not suicidal. **** self-loathing asshats who take their problems to the bottom of a bottle (in this case, a pill bottle).

I drink every day **** every friday.

[Alf™]

What are you trying to say about Heath Ledger, Gort?

[g°®†]

I drink every day **** every friday.

lol.

What are you trying to say about Heath Ledger, Gort?



oh, he's a moron. :)


oh wait, I mean "WAS" a moron. He's dead now. :)

[Iscariot]

I think he's trying to imply that people who don't cope with stress the way he does are coping in the wrong way, regardless of the fact that everyone requires different methods to handle their problems and while one person's problems may seem small to someone else, those problems are huge to the person they affect.

I think.

How was Heath dealing with his stress?

[Spiritofmosa]

this thread is making me depressed...
:(

[Iscariot]

How was Heath dealing with his stress?

I don't know I was just going for the +1.

[g°®†]

moar like -1 :lol:










:confused:

[Alf™]

I don't get what Gort is saying still. Heath could have died from an accidental overdose of sleeping pills, but how does that make him a moron?

[JumpTheF**kUp]

Iscariot referring to postcount, Gort referring to multiplayer games where suicide = -1?

[aria]

I think he's trying to imply that people who don't cope with stress the way he does are coping in the wrong way, regardless of the fact that everyone requires different methods to handle their problems and while one person's problems may seem small to someone else, those problems are huge to the person they affect.

I think.

yea i think thats what gorts sayin unfortunatelyt

[Pop music sucks]

Too bad, the guy was a greater actor of the younger generation.

[black guy]

i would just like to take this oppurtunity to call him a moron for overdosing. it is very important that i express this to you all.

[RunAmokRampant]

People who think that it was suicide, I don't know how they come up with the reasons. Sure he had some stress and dealing with insomnia. His career was heading up, he has a child to watch grow up and he everything to lose. I don't see the reasoning behind suicide at all credible. It is clearly to me, accidental death.

[bradc1988]

Well apparently he had pneumonia so those pills plus those sleeping pills which have been deemed bad here in Oz due to it's possible side effects could equal death.

[Meatplow]

accident? or freemason and illuminati involvement?

you decide

[Zakath]

accident? or freemason and illuminati involvement?

BETRAYAL!

[Knifeboy]

or maybe christian bale and heath ledger took method acting to the extreme?

[sexymuffin]

we'll find bale next to a bottle of protein supplement after the machinist 2 tbh

I don't get what Gort is saying still. Heath could have died from an accidental overdose of sleeping pills, but how does that make him a moron?

It was a suicide ..... "pills laying all around the body"

If not an intentional suicide, he shouldn't have been taking that many pills.

clearly the latter.

[bradc1988]

I like how people make so many assumptions even though nothing solid, like an autopsy report, has been released.

[g°®†]

I'll bet you all $20 usd that it will be ruled out as a suicide.

[bradc1988]

I don't understand your american lingo.

Does that mean it will be declared as a suicide or won't be.

[g°®†]

suicide.

[Knifeboy]

You used it wrong

meh

[The Transporter 2]

i like how everyone is worried about the new batman, but no one is worried about his two year old daughter

[Knifeboy]

his two year old daughter has no direct connection to any of our lives

the batman movie does

[The Transporter 2]

yeah because a few hours worth of entertainment is much more important than a girl who is going to grow up without a father

[Rams]

Thank god for the internet detectives. Determining cause of death one post at a time.

[EightMilesHigh]

I got home from school last night and my dad tells me this :( wtf

I'm going to feel weird whenever I watched A Knight's Tale, that movie rocks.

[Superfly]

idk I would have thought it'd be pretty hard to overdose on over the counter pills accidentally... wouldn't you have to take something like 20?

[The Transporter 2]

idk I would have thought it'd be pretty hard to overdose on over the counter pills accidentally... wouldn't you have to take something like 20?

from what i've heard, it was probably a combination of multiple types of pills that did it.

[Berner]

If he had been drinking that too can cause death when taken with sleeping pills whose active chemical is a benzodiazepine. Benzodiazepine increase the effectiveness of GABA (neurotransmitter) while alcohol mimics GABA. In combination, they can cause either coma's or death. So there's a good chance he might have been drinking too and took some sleeping pills.

[Knifeboy]

If I had to care for every girl who ever grew up without a father, I'd be an emotional black hole by now.

But caring about a potential masterpiece, that's something more relevant to my interests

[CarnageFairy]

yeah because a few hours worth of entertainment is much more important than a girl who is going to grow up without a father

God dammit we already went over this ****.

[the2stranger]

Sucks.
He was quite a good actor.
RIP.

[JohnXDoe]

ledger was a good actor. favorite young actor of mine. enjoyed his work and really did like Brokeback Mountain. it was the best film of that year imho.

can't help but speculate on his death. natural causes would seem out in someone so young with no known medical issues. "accidental overdose?" i suppose that means an amount enough to kill you, but perhaps barely enough? or maybe just lack of suicide motive or suicide "scene" where he died? whatever the case i really don't know what an "accidental overdose" is. i always thought its when a junkie takes too much heroin....you know, by "accident." w/e

i think it was suicide or a toxic mix. perhaps taking one thing because another didn't work. and then bam....fatal cocktail. we'll see later i guess.

[Cocaine]

idk I would have thought it'd be pretty hard to overdose on over the counter pills accidentally... wouldn't you have to take something like 20?

He had prescription ones as well. But reports confirmed that there werent pills and bottles scattered about as initially reported.

I'm don't particularly care about his death from an "i'm sad let's mourn" POV, but I do think it hasnt been handled very well. I mean, did you hear what happened when they were removing his body? There were people with ****ing camera phones snapping it going to the morgue.

I'm more interested in how it happened and if there's even the slightest chance that his Joker role played into it (shut up if this sounds ridiculous :()

But they're saying now he had pneumonia. Pneumonia plus the wrong mix of sleeping pills probably doesn't bode well.

[The Transporter 2]

the points i was trying to make were that there are more important things at stake than a movie and the way this entire thread has gone makes everyone seem overly shallow.

enough about that though, lets gossip about how he may have died and the outcome of his death on batman and robin.

Just so you know, when I stated 'concern' for the outcome of the new batman movie, it was meant in jest.



meh

[Pluperfect_Arson]

People were posting this all over Trade channel in WoW last night, and I had no idea that it was not a joke. :o

My guild mates told that it was not, and I read the article this morning.

It is pretty intense.

[Cocaine]

Yeah I saw it on this girl's laptop in class yesterday and I thought it was just more viral marketing tbh. Then I saw she was on CNN and was like, "uh".

[g°®†]

Whateve .... He's a dumbass for not being responsible and by responsible, I mean his responsibility to his child.


dumb ****.

[Cocaine]

Well if it was a case of supposed pneumonia + accidental overdose then it really wasn't his fault.

[thirdeyeblindislit]

I can't believe he's gone. That was just...out of no where. RIP

[g°®†]

You are cool (on the internet)

[g°®†]

I'm cool IRL too :thumb:

[HNLzero]

wat if its just a big viral marketing thing for the sequel to the dark knight huh huh

[A Dead Modernist]

I thought this was a marketing thing for a second than I saw it at CNN.com
I don't really like him as an actor, sad though.

Edit: Am suprised this has gotten so much attention.

[Kage]

It's gotten a lot of attention because he's a well-known celebrity.

[Rams]

wat if its just a big viral marketing thing for the sequel to the dark knight huh huh

It's for the Bucket List sequel. He's auditioning for Jack's part.

[g°®†]

nice acute observation there Kage. :)

[Kage]

Well the other guy didn't seem to be catching on.

[A Dead Modernist]

idk steve irwin seemed more well-known as a pop culture icon yet he got less attention imo

[Kage]

What? Everyone was wearing Steve Irwin shirts for the next month after that. That got so much attention.

[g°®†]

was he the guy who got eaten by a crocodile?



or was he the one who got impaled by a stingray?

[FakePlasticTrees]

The media thrives on Hollywood trash and what they do.

[Kage]

That's the one.

The media thrives on Hollywood trash and what they do.

Can't argue with that. It's ****ing disgusting, really.

[Kif]

Not really. Hollywood depends on it, otherwise they wouldn't be celebrities.

[Kage]

And we'd all be a lot better off.

But seriously the level it has gone to is absurd.

[g°®†]

That's the one.





oh ... he was awesome.

It's beyond absurd I'm afraid. Look at the Paris Hilton situation last summer as a prime example.

[Knifeboy]

Haha at the best buy thing

[irishslappop]

what a shame. This reminds me of when Chris Farley died. Im not quite as upset about this as i was about chris but still man...****.

[Alf™]

First seven pages of the Sun today dedicated to Ledger. They make him out to be a heroin addict, with deep troubles, who committed suicide, which is a joke.

[Alf™]

New York's chief medical examiner will need at least a further 10 days to determine the cause of Heath Ledger's death and accurately detect what drugs were in his body at the time of death.

[Kage]

They make all that stuff up anyway, so what difference does it make.

[Alf™]

What?

[Kage]

You didn't think they really have a method to determine what drugs were in his system at the time of death, did you? It's all made up, but since this guy has a medical badge, people believe what he says.

[MarkMacDonald]

I wonder if they will have such cinematic classics such as Brothers Grimm, A Knight's Tale and/or The Patriot available for purchase.

[Knifeboy]

Because I'm on the mother****in' internet, brohiem.


Haven't you ever watched CSI? CSI is on the tv, so it's even more credible than you

[Illmatic]

but they really do. its kind of of what medical examiners do for a living.

[Kage]

It's what medical examiners pretend to do for a living.

[Yield]

Apparently his autopsy was inconclusive, as will Batman.

[g°®†]

I say suicide.


Why is everyone backing up Heath Ledger saying it was an accident?


What's so wrong with saying that the guy felt his 'issues' were too much to cope without the use of drugs and he found himself in a bad habit that eventually killed him?


It may not be the 'all-out-gun-ho' kind of suicide where he ingests an entire bottle of pills in effort to KILL himself, but it IS the fact that he became reliant on a potentially dangerous drug and used it irresponsibly.

As a father, and a father alone (ignoring his celebrity status, financial standing, etc), he should have been smarter and more 'responsible' with his 'medical condition'.


It sucks that he died, but I still stand by what I have been saying; that being, "he's a moron".

Pretty much every person that takes prescription sleeping pills gets addicted. He's not at fault for that.
