Damn. When I read the title, I thought someone was just pulling a sick prank. Don't really know what to say except that it's one hell of a shocker!

There is no lingerie in space…

Not that that is going to stop you from dreaming… Only in this case, Gaffer is actually a guy.

I think this is so sad! He just got done making the next Batman movie, and reports are that his performance as The Joker is so great that he was about to move up to the status of Super Star. The man had a great future in front of him, but now that is done with. Police say that "Pills" may be involved. This just reminds me so much of the deaths of so many greats of the late 60's and early 70's, and also the death of River Phoenix. What a loss!

Yeah, this sucks, I am really looking forward to seeing him in The Dark Knight. I also enjoyed him in The Patriot. It's a shame. I just keep thinking that any minute we'll see Heath Ledger on the news saying how this was a great big hoax by internet hackers and he is okay.

Now how am I going to enjoy watching The Dark Knight? I'll always be thinking "Man, he died."

This sucks.



I also have no idea how you guys post this stuff so fast either.

This day sucked from the morning - I had a cavity filled, got a car in the ditch due to frozen roads, and it's my last day home before I leave for school again ...

... and then I find out, out of the blue, that one of my favorite actors is dead. It's a complete shame, and depressing as hell ... and then to see so many people all over the Internet attacking him posthumously with things like "Well, he was a druggie, that's what he gets" - come on, ALL the evidence points to an accidental overdose due to stress and severe jet lag with sleeping pills, and because people see "pills" they assume he was an addict and shit on him for it. Damn it, people, he was a good person, the poster-boy for what a true actor should be both on AND off the set ... and still people condemn him for no good reason. (Note that this isn't directed at anyone here)

This will cast a dark cloud over "The Dark Knight," but it seems as if the performance he delivered will blow everyone away ... I just hope we can all enjoy it for what it is, and not out of pity because of his untimely, unfortunate passage.

Rest in peace, Heath. It's a shame you had to leave us so soon.

Wow, that sucks. He was my age too. I would not want to go this young.

As I recall Beatles manager Brian Epstein died under very similar circumstances back in 1967. For years after his death, people would debate if Epstein's death was a suicide, or an unintentional overdose of pills. Did not Ana Nicole Smith's son also die like this last year? Was it not a case of a lethal cocktail of pills and booze? Again so sad.

Shocking news. sad but atlease he finished all his work on "Dark Knight". I would guess the film would be dedicated to him.

I heard about coming home from work. Very shocking and still feels unreal, I still can't believe that he's really dead. A tragic end for a man who had a promising future.

Rest In Peace, Mr. Ledger.
I'd like a qui-gon jinn please with an Obi-Wan to go.

Yeah, those Westboro nuts are a bunch of idiots. They are the same ones who picket the Soldiers funerals. They are scum. Really low class.

Geez, what a bunch of nutjobs. Even considering for a second that they're actually right, and Heath Ledger is burning in hell right now, what good would picketing his funeral do?! What's the point? Whatever Heath's fate is, it's in God's hands, and no amount of hate from a bunch of crazy fundamentalists is going to sway anything. All this is going to do is cause pain to the family and friends who are already grieving. Yeah, nice job...

Garth has a wonderful reflection about Heath over at Dark Horizons. Best piece I've read yet.
http://www.darkhorizons.com/news08/080122j.php

I posted this over at the Superman forum too. It's worth cross-posting to here.

Regarding Westboro Baptist Church zealots, I can think of several things to say, not the least of which is that they do not represent my understanding of Christianity. Not in the least. Something about "You who are without sin may cast the first stone." But I also think the words of David Wilcox are extremely poignant when I think of their guerrilla salvation:

http://www.davidwilcox.com/index.php?page=songs&display=785&category=Vista

"Let me apologize in advance
For the way my friend behaves
He'll pick a fight and take a holy stance
He's so proud that he's so saved

I hope you don't judge Jesus
By the things my friend will say
He holds a bible like a dagger
And he twists it just that way

He just loves conversation - like a cat loves a bird
I guess he's always been a good man - in the worst sense of the word"

I am fluent in over six million forms of procrastination.

My wife points out "Are they all flying to Australia to picket there? 'Cause that's where the funeral is going to be."

It's such an insanely sick way to behave that our society should not support it by allowing it to occur on public property. There is no constitutional right to picket people's funerals. It's so ridiculous on the surface that I'm actually at a loss for words.

I could not believe it. RIP.

What an incredible self control that no one has shot these idiots when they were picketing at a funeral.

heath ledger was an actor, these people have to remember brokeback mountain was fiction.

he wanted to do it to prove his range as an actor, he was definetely not gay in real life, he had a wife until he was divorced, and a daughter.

whether his split and being away from his child had anything to do with the sleep pill overdose we will probably never know.

not all christians are like this, after all heath was a human being and the bible says we are all created in god's image, he had a family and was someones child once.

we have no idea what his relationship with god was and i will not speculate. god is the judge of our actions in the life anyone who tries to judge heath shall also be judged by their own deeds.

i have to ask christians who live in condemnation if they are even saved individuals, there is now no condemnation in christ jesus.

they should live in a spirit of thankfulness and grace, that if what the lords blood was shed for and to do away with sin.

the state of hetero marriage was in trouble long before gay rights became a hot button issue in the u.s.a. people should spend their time teaching their children and being better husbands and wives than wasting their time on this.

Very well said. I could not agree more.
