Shame. He was a good actor.
'Tis a shame. R.i.p.
:shock:
*recalls a particular member making threats against him*
shit.
Good thing they finished principle photography for Dark Knight.
What? Too soon?
What despicable member would threaten someone like him?Quote:

He was good, even if the film's themselves weren't amazing.
Nah, I think a few hours since death is enough time.Quote:
What? Too soon?
Sad news :(
this is so sad. i liked him, esp in brokeback mountain
Holy shit...is this for real??? :shock: I can't believe it. I really loved him. Especially in A Knight's Tale. That's one of my favorite movies. This is surreal. :( Drug overdose??
It's a sad reminder that we really don't know the people behind the celebrity. Even the prettiest, shiniest little Hollywood face can end up overdosed and deaded.
Sad...but at least they finished Dark Knight first.
John Chaucer was played well, wasn't he.Quote:

sucks. i liked knights tale and the order.
Someone at work told me. I almost cried. :cry: I loved that guy. This is really quite surreal for me.
28 years old, too.
Thats pretty darn sad. He was a pretty cool actor as well, i liked him in A Knights Tale.
I really don't know what to say other than this, its quite saddening actually to see someone of that age end up dead.
Yes, bad news indeed. Knight's Tale was funny :) I used to watch Heath Ledger in a TV Series called Roar about somekind of Scottish Tribal Prince or sommat, it was on pretty late at night, thats where I first saw him, was a good show :)
Aww hahaha I totally forgot about that one!! :D Yeah I watched a few episodes of that too, it wasn't bad. He looked hot too.Quote:

I don't think you would have had any problem with it had i said "Yeah, and WBC are going to picket his funeral apparently for "Brokeback Mountain", I hate them"
I considered a new thread for it but I thought it uneccessary.
I wouldn't have appreciated that posting no matter how you had worded it. I just don't think it was necessary to give such people and their views any space in this thread.. simply out of respect for Heath Ledger, his family and his fans.Quote:

It happens.
He was good in Brokeback Mountain. I went to see that as a first date. Yeah, it was a bit awkward....
Good for you for being man enough to take a date to that film. ;)Quote:

So he probably was trying to get some sleep and accidentally took too much. :( Preliminary thoughts of cause of death was cardiac arrest, which would fit if this is indeed what happened. No one is suspecting suicide or foul play.Quote:

That's good to hear it probably wasn't suicide. The dark knight premiere in Hollywood will be awkward.Quote:

This vaguely motivates me to go see Brokeback Mountain at last. I meant to see it, but never got around to it. That was what he got the Oscar for, no?
I haven't yet bought the story that it was a drug overdose, unless accidentally taking too many sleeping pills is considered a drug overdose? Anyway, I don't recall ever reading anything about him being on actual drugs of any kind... unlike everyone else. Especially females. Gah, what the heck is going on with them. :P Now I'm rambling about other stuff, whoops.
Pills are 'actual' drugs, even sleeping pills ;)Quote:

:P By "actual," I mean like the drugs that are looked down upon in society.Quote:

Haven't you heard? Pills are the new 'in' drug. Srsly.Quote:

You know what I mean!! :P *runs around in circles and jumps out the nearest window*
NOW look what you've done.
Ledger's death is another example of God's wrath against the cowboy queers.
Actually, I think it was Batman who did him in.Quote:
