R.I.P Heath Ledger

A few films I remember you from

10 Things I Hate About You

The Patriot

Ned Kelly

Brokeback Mountain

When I seen the previews for the new Batman, I was blown away at Heath's performance as Joker, that in of itself sold me on going to see it upon release. He completely did the character justice in my opinion.

Just read this. He was about my age and I think he had so much promise.

RIP

He was my age as well. One of my favorite actors. RIP Heath, you will be missed a lot.

Yeah, I think it was an accidental overdose, because how much of a strain it was to do that role as the Joker. To prepare for the role he lived alone in a hotel room for a month, to come up with the dynamics for how he was going to portray the character. He reported a week before he was still very much sleep deprived. Here is something from the New York Times when they did the interview with him on the film “I’m not there.”

It is a physically and mentally draining role — his Joker is a “psychopathic, mass-murdering, schizophrenic clown with zero empathy” he said cheerfully — and, as often happens when he throws himself into a part, he is not sleeping much.

“Last week I probably slept an average of two hours a night,” he said. “I couldn’t stop thinking. My body was exhausted, and my mind was still going.” One night he took an Ambien, which failed to work. He took a second one and fell into a stupor, only to wake up an hour later, his mind still racing.

Who was he?.................

Bryant Again · Jan 23, 2008, 10:31 PM // 22:31

He was the Joker in the new Batman movie, main protaganist in Knight's Tale, and was the blonde cowboy in Brokeback Mountain, among many other things.

1. RIP
2. If it's a drug overdose in the only way I know...can't say I can really feel sorry for him in any retrospect *illegal drugs* otherwise he has fallen prey to the doctors and they should all be lynched at sundown.
3. sorry for making a joke outta this guy's death but I personally don't care about famous people dying unless it affects my patriotic spirit (former president/important congressman).

Not "going" to play the Joker, he "did" play the Joker, the filming is all done.

Brokeback fags should probably suicide anyway.

This happened because he had "One Night in Paris"

And we all know the STD you get from having "one Night in paris"

Temporary Stupidity.

Although I did like 2 of his movies!

Anyways to prevent this...kill Paris

PS" Thank you Much Music, for informing me on "One Night in Paris" lulz
