I just read it. Damn, 28 years old. Good actor, was looking forward to the new Batman and his role in the new Terry Gilliam film, The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, which may never see the light of day now...

The pills won't help you now. (ow that was lame)

Aw man, I was looking forward to this flick... Deaths always make movies awkward. Remember late Phil Hartman comedies?... eesh.

Continuing with the bad times. In the middle of class one of the girls said this out loud and all the girls just freaked.

It still is in a line of bad momentum lately.

My best friends sister getting hit by a car and slipping into a coma. It sucks since her other sister was mudered last spring.

Yah life sucks right now. Though I'm trying to work on building something with this girl at school. I'm really trying hard since last year was a failure on my part. Something to fight for right now in my life.

alright enough emo from me......

I read this about Heath Ledger today, someone at the office blurted it out in shock.

It's so unfortunate. He's a good actor (Knight's Tale doesn't count) and like Slipvin said he had some great roles for Batman and the Gilliam flick. Plus he was a daddy to a little girl who's only 2 years old.

Ryno, I'm so sorry to hear about how things are bad in your life right now. I really hope things start looking up for you - the year has jusdt gotten started!

Well, most likely the Dark knight will be dedicated to him... luckily they finished shooting the whole film (or so I think)

I bet Jack Nicholson killed him

We'll see who plays a better joker. that'll be the final atopsy.....

Well, if he turns out to play the Joker well, it might be a good thing that he kicked the bucket. After Batman, he would've moved on to crappy romantic comedies, Brokeback Mountain 2, and sci-fi/love story movies opposite Sandra Bullock.

Nobody can do a better Joker than Nicholson...

I can't believe what I'm reading. So it's a good thing a man is dead because, god forbid, he might have gone on to make a crappy movie that would never live up to the Joker role?

Another inept rude comment on the forum.

RIP HL

Another dead person I've never met.

There's thousands of those every day, and no one gets upset about them. We're supposed to care because this one particular guy was rich and good looking? Just because he played a convincing homosexual, he can act? His record on movies is about 1 to 5 on the 'tool to good actor' ratio. Oh, that makes him WAAAAAAY more important than some 6 year old that just died of preventable dysentary in Rwanda.

There's a 'I wish I knew how to quit you' joke in here somewhere, but I still can't find it.

You heartless bastard. I don't really feel bad though, because I don't know the guy and as you say people die every second of everyday. I just mentioned it because he's the new Joker, and people love the Batmans.

Sorry, I'm in a bad mood this morning, and I wasn't picking on you for starting this, just my general disgust at the Cult of Celebrity coming out. He was starting to show promise as an actor, and it is a shame we won't get to see the further progression of his art.

No, he was doing a new Terry Gilliam movie.

I don't see why anyone would care, really, except his family and friends of course. Thousands of people die every day. I don't even remember seeing him in anything good. Some people die at EXACTLY the right time. I think Mitch Hedberg did.

And I think Elvis should've died a LOT sooner.

What do you mean "die at exactly the right time?". Mitch Hedburg was brilliance, wish he was still alive.

Isn't Mitch Hedburg the Napoleon Dynamite guy? Isn't he still alive?
