Hey, Heath Ledger Died.
« on: January 22, 2008, 06:03:48 PM »
That's sad.  I wasn't really a fan, but this girl at the school I work at was actually in tears about it.  Seemed like a good guy.  I just heard about it and googled and saw those pictures of him as the joker.  Yeesh!  This is a pretty sad story.

This puts the new Batman in league with The Crow.  Except Ledger's actually a real celebrity.

this article does not mention that he was found in mary kate olson's apartment. scandalous, and morbidly fascinating. i need to take a breather on this whole celebrity gossip blog thing.  i'm going to hell.

The Old Grey Bearded Lady seems to think that the whole Mary Kate Olsen thing was not actually "true"

He was always in movies I usually wouldn't like but for some reason I did.

Not to make light of the situation but The Dark Knight is going to be HUGE....and it was already going to be huge.

Poor thing.  He was just a baby.  Always sort of liked him, too.  Ah well.

i was just talking the other day with someone about how the new Joker's make up looks really reminiscent of the Crow.

That really is spooky. 
Something about that smudgy goth makeup.  Beware.

BTW, for some reason I keep expecting something like this to happen to Jim Carrey, but he keeps bouncing back.

Yeah I cried a little. I really liked him and when I was watching Brokeback I kinda thought he could have been the new Paul Newman or something... I remember thinking how much I was looking forward to seeing his whole career. And I don't usually sit around thinking about actors' futures.

Sad.

I had to go down to that area of Manhattan after work, and it was awash with people.

I also just found out that the Westboro Baptist Church will be protesting his funeral.

This whole thing is really sad.

I'm pretty sure those people have no souls.

what's they're reason?

because it was an OD? because it was a possible suicide? because they are miserable people?

More proof supporting my Scientologists-not-more-insane-than-crazy-christians theory.
