eternal light Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 yeah, Chris Farley was "accidental", too...if you pound on the gates of Heaven long enough, someone is gonna open the door...did you feel sorry for Kurt Cobain too? How 'bout brad delp? How about anna nicole smith? Jim Morrison, Jimi, janis? These brilliant people KILLED themselves, whether it was direct or indirect, what's the difference? They put the so called "gun" to their heads....and I'm supposed to feel sorry for them? You obviously have no clue what i have experienced when it comes to stress, living, dying or whatever...you know NOTHING about what i have gone thru in my life...i feel for the living, not the people who threw in the towel... You sound angry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eternal light Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 I'm still very upset about this. I don't know what would be worse: accidental overdose or suicide. Both are horrible in their own manner. Heath Ledger was a wonderful actor. Mona--I also loved him in 10 Things I Hate About You. I may have even had a crush on him... It's too bad it had to end this soon. :'( RIP Heath. This is troubling news; he was so young. God bless his soul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me too...I think I'm actually more stunned now than I was when I first read about it. It hadn't set in then, you know? I guess I thought it was a joke or something...but it's starting to sink in now, and it is really depressing me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously, you have never had a problem with an addiction. Good for you. But you shouldn't really judge someone until you've walked a mile in their shoes...............Not saying I'm perfect, or that I haven't been too hard on people sometimes, but I'm at least trying.

Aquamarine Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 "and I'm supposed to feel sorry for them?" Yes. You are. It's called compassion. Whether these incidents are accidents or deliberate, they don't happen because the person in question is enjoying him/herself so much, but because they're suffering in some way. When you're suffering, I hope there is somebody there for you, stonefreelee, who is a better human being than you are yourself. And I don't give a shit how sanctimonious that sounds, it's true. Mona got it right. I hope you do fuck off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK, good idea Steve--well, I haven't seen that many of his movies but I did think he was a lot of fun in "A Knight's Tale" (plus I liked the music in that one ).

Puck Slapping Maple Sucker Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 I just heard as soon as I got back from work, I am very shocked. He was a great actor, so young and he had a huge future ahead of him ... RIP, Heath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs. Plant Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 My roommate and I just watched Brokeback and drank wine, had Sobfest 2008. He truly was one of the only gifted actors under 30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love that film...Heath's acting, the music, and Paul Bettany...LOL. And regardless of what you think about the film itself, you can't deny Heath was amazing in Brokeback Mountain.

chell Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 :'( I still can't believe it. I keep seeing "Heath Ledger Dead at 28" and it just doesn't seem real to me. I hate all the negative things being said about him already. It just doesn't seem fair really and all these River Phoenix references are lame imho. I love River, but there's no comparison. Everyone knew River had a drug problem. I personally don't believe Heath had an "addiction" problem. It's beyond sad either way. I've liked Heath for a very long time. I own just about all his movies and have been really excited about the new Batman movie. Do any of you remember him that sci-fi show Roar? That was some cheesy good stuff .. He was great.. R.I.P.

zepsteve Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 no chell i never saw that movie but i like no i love what you had to say and did it in a positive manner what were gonna do here in this thread is not let the media or anyone else take away from him what he did best and thats make movies and entertain us! Fuck the media and there comparisons! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FuzzyMerkin Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 First thing I heard on the radio this morning. How immensely sad.

electricmage Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 I have no apology to offer. I am sick to death of individuals offing themselves...Haven't we seen enough of this throughout the ages? I'm tired of feeling sorry for these "Phoneix" types...awww, poor baby, couldn't handle being a celebrity...I care about real people who are suffering and who want to LIVE. This "man" had a daughter...how could anyone do that to their own child? What a loser... Listen you fucking idiot. You don't know what happened, so stop rushing to judgement so soon. I would happily trade a talented man like Heath, over a piece of shit like you any day. Why don't you beat the next talented soul to it, and blow your fucking brains out. You worthless little sack of shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Electrophile Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 I'm still shocked and saddened by this. I watched The Patriot earlier, and I still can't believe that he's dead. I know it's silly in a way to be affected like that, I never met him and don't know him.....but it's just so out of the clear blue. And I still can't help but feel immense sorrow for Michelle Williams and their daughter Matilda. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
electricmage Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 Now, getting back to my original post. It's a damn shame. Plus, I saw the trailer for "The Dark Knight". He looked like he was taking the role to a whole new level. Too bad he won't be here to revel in the success of this film. I guarantee that his role as The Joker would have sent his status in the Movie biz through the roof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have and I loved it--he did such a fabulous job of playing every aspect of that character. I really enjoyed the sweetness he brought to the role, and his comic timing is brilliant throughout.
