Heath Ledger Dead

[MRat]

Title says it all. Heath Ledger died today. 28 years old. A daughter. The Dark Knight on it's way out. One of the most talented working actors. What a sad story.

Still, it seems like a drug overdose, so if that's it, I guess he had it coming.

[MRat]

indeed.

[Crabarms]

Never seen him.
I barely watch movies.

[MRat]

I make movies and act, though I'm not successful, but he's always been pretty inspirational, even is his bubble-gumy pop roles like 10 Things I Hate About you and A Knight's Tale. But he got robbed 7 ways straight when it came to the Oscars for Brokeback Mountain.

I think he played joker too didnt he?

I think he played joker too didnt he?

That film comes out this summer though, so I can't pass judgement on it. He looks fantastic from the trailer though.

What I don't get is people comparing him to Jack Nicholson. One, the movies are completely different in tone so the actors should reflect it, and two, jack nicholson was just himself in clown make-up anyway. Which was fucking brilliant, but not the same as TDK should be, imo.

that's way too young for anyone to die

[MRat]

that's way too young for anyone to die

my thoughts exactly.

[ThunderCurls]

Was not expecting that.

[MRat]

Was not expecting that.

Nor I, my friend, nor I. Perhaps Lindsay Lohan, Britney Spears, but never would I expect Heath Ledger. He was always said to be such a happy guy and a great and nice fellow. Sad especially for his 2 year old daughter though.

not cool, man

he seemed to have such a good future ahead of him too

aye. his engangement did get rocky and he split from his fiance, but from the peolpe i've talked to who knew him and michelle williams said they were stil on really good terms and heath was with his daughter regularily, so i'm guessing he was still enjoying being a dad.

[ZekeySpaceyLizard]

yeah this sucks ass.

[Gerkinman]

In his defence he supposably had pseumonia and OD'd on sleeping tablets, which would be easy to do when your sick liek that.

[MRat]

If you have even a cold, and take 2 sleeping pills, you could die. They prevent coughing during sleep, and you could choke on your on mucus and end up aphyxiating. (i spelt that wrong i think)

[Nadroj0711]

everyone here is talking about this
i didn't even know who he was
i thought his name was keith ledger
but yeah, I'm with crab man i don't watch movies

[zomfgbie]

i have no idea who he is either

anyone dying at 28 is a tragedy though

bill hicks, my biggest hero, died at 29/20

[trent bortknob]

[MRat]

wasnt this guy in brokeback mountain

yup. oscar nominated for playing a gay cowboy. they have buttsecks in a tent in that movie. anyway he was brilliant in that movie. i think he should have gotten the oscar over phillip seymore hoffman actually.
