I read that ealier, what is it with the rich killing themselves because they have too much money and just need some sleep, obviously money didnt buy them happiness, course if they would just oh i dunno read the directions on their pills maybe they would not be dying all over the place, guess its gods way of saying your acting sucked. you might look good on a horse in tight jeans or kissing another man, but take these pills do us all a favor! good bye cruel world...

I'm not a fan of Heath Ledger, for various reasons, most of those have nothing to do with his films, but yes commiserations to Heaths family and his loved ones.

It's front page news here in Australia... I suspect we will be hearing about it daily for the next couple of weeks, from practically every media source.

I thought he was a pretty decent actor. I'm not really down with the gay shit
but BB Mtn was a poignant movie. The one where he was Sir William Fletcher
was decent too.

[bellafea]

okay so he was not really that bad, but what is up with these celebs today! cant sleep down a bottle of pills tht will surely make you feel better, oh he is getting lots of rest now! wasn't he just in a couple movies.. maybe there was something else going on.,.

I liked the "knights tale" and I'm looking forward to Batman. News reports talk about how he was really into his daughter, so suicide seems like an odd way out.

'Course they also say he was having a really tough time dealing with the character of the Joker and the darkness surrounding the character.

Who can say for sure?

sad is sad... the spoiler pics of him as the Joker look pretty kickass, very well marked to classics like "The Killing Joke". Then again, most likely the only reason Jack Nicholson didnt get bothered is because he was already insane....

Good actors will be missed...
Bad actors keep making trash, ie "Beastmaster"

You don't worry about those kind of people Alberich, they will get there own. They often end up living there whole lives in this defensive vacuum of justification, to try and maintain this self imposed level of righteousness which only further negates most of the stuff in there life that they preach!

His death, has brought up a few interesting things. I've noticed on the radio, every 30mins when they talk about it they say "Australian Actor Heath Ledger." It stuck me as odd, because everyone in Australia already knows he's Australian... why the heck are they stating the obvious? Insecurity alert. For some stupid reason Australia always has something to prove with the US. It seems like they care more about the fact that he's Australian than the fact that he's now dead.

It's kind of ironic how these things have happened of late... I remember when Princess Diana died Mother Teresa died around the same time. 1000's turned up to Diana's funeral... but millions turned up to Mother Teresa's.

Recently Sir Edmund Hillary died, he spent his life doing charitable works in Nepal with the poor and the suppressed... and then Heath Ledger dies in what looks to be a drug related death. Millions may have heard about Heath Ledgers death, but many more, actually feel like they owe something to Sir Edmund Hillary.

It puts a few things in perspective.

Some die living for themselves and we remember it as tragic... some die doing things for others and we remember them as heroes.

Those Westboro baptist motherfuckers seriously need to get the bash. If the funeral
is here in NYC and there's a bunch of Aussies there, they wont hesitate to beat the snot
out of those evil 'baptists'. In fact if it's in NYC, I might go along to pay my respects, and
then pay my disrespects to the unholy evil cult that call themselves Westboro baptists.

..although judging by the wording on that notice, and the fact it is hosted at an image-hosting
site and not the westboro closet homo baptist site, I think it's a load of bollox.

update: ..oh ok, it IS true, these freaks really are planning on picketing Heath Ledger's funeral.
It's announced on their site [url:2ic0ilz7]http://www.godhatesfags.com/[/url:2ic0ilz7], although hard to get a
connect - probably undergoing a DOS attack.. lol, hate to be on a shared server with those assfuckers.

Hmm weren't these clowns recently successfully sued for this crap? Would've thought that
meant they weren't allowed to continue disturbing the peace this way, but clearly they still are.
If the law wont do anything, maybe the people will.

It's because of that big long link at the start of the thread, but I edited my post just for you.

Haha! When I started out in IT my mentor gave me this piece of advice which has always stayed with me...

Never work for accountants and lawyers. Maybe you found out why
