[MisterChristian]

I'm stunned....

CNN now reports the death appears to be drug related.

R.I.P.

[Powerslave]

Wow. Jesus Christ, I just heard about this. Came completely out of nowhere. This is the first death in recent memory that really genuinely shocked and upset me. I was left speechless. He was a damn talented actor, and he'll be missed.

http://cityroom.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/01/22/actor-heath-ledger-is-found-dead/

"The actor Heath Ledger was found dead this afternoon in an apartment building at 421 Broome Street in SoHo, according to the New York City police. Mr. Ledger was 28.
At 3:31 p.m., a masseuse arrived at Apartment 5A in the building for an appointment with Mr. Ledger, the police said. The masseuse was let in to the home by a housekeeper, who then knocked on the door of Mr. Ledger’s bedroom. When no one answered, the housekeeper and the masseuse opened the bedroom and found Mr. Ledger unconscious. They shook him, but he did not respond. They immediately called the authorities. The police said they did not suspect foul play and said they found pills near body.
Mr. Ledger, a native of Perth, Australia, won acclaim for his role as a co-star in “Brokeback Mountain”, a 2005 film. The film, based on a short story by Annie Proulx about two cowboys who fall in love, won critical acclaim. Reviewing the film in The New York Times, the critic Stephen Holden wrote, “Mr. Ledger magically and mysteriously disappears beneath the skin of his lean, sinewy character. It is a great screen performance, as good as the best of Marlon Brando and Sean Penn.”
Calls by The New York Times to Mara Buxbaum, a publicist for Mr. Ledger, and Steve Alexander, the actor’s agent, were not immediately returned this afternoon."

[Z_oasis]

I walked in to my house, talkin to my fam with the news on mute in the background and i saw his name and the word Dead, i had to stop everything and see WTF...

I am really stunned and really sad... I havent felt this way since John Ritter,

Such high hopes, a legend before his time IMO.

RIP

[rilocay]

Such a really sad loss to have, not just his family, but to inasne actor he was forming into. Will be very misses. Respects to his family over in west Aus.

I really can't and don't want to belive this. He was about to be immortalized as Joker and explode too much to be taken away.

[Digifruitella]

you guys I feel like crying..im serious :(

You know..I find the phrase "the best die young" to be more and more TRUE.

[deppjolieperabo]

holy shit!!!!!!!

WTF IS GOING ON LATELY????? :confused::confused::confused:

[notchreturns]

wow

[bigred760]

I'm freakin' speechless; this is right before probably the biggest movie of his career, and not long after an Oscar nominated turn in Brokeback Mountain.

It's freakin' unbelievable.

[Cronos]

I just.... can't believe it. Haven't been left this speechless for a long time.

R.I.P.

[zombievictim]

you guys I feel like crying..im serious :(

Oh I agree. I'm quite choked up. The TV's on CNN right now and its not movie. This is devastating.

[fooknasty]

My God this is horrible, I just immediately felt like shit. This is such a horrible shame.

He was just coming into his own as an actor, but regardless of that, that is way too young to leave this world.

A damn, horrible shame.

[blankpage]

I don't think I've ever been physically upset about a celebrity death like this ever.
I just wish this was fake

:(

[dannywalker17]

I'm with you guys. I don't know that I've ever been so shocked and dismayed by an actor's death. This is just absolutely beyond shocking for me. He was so immensely talented, and his biggest movie yet is coming this summer.

James Dean... River Phoenix... and now Heath Ledger.

Such a tragedy.

[KingofKings2525]

I really cannot believe this. I was getting so hyped for TDK because of him and him only considering I hate Bale. NOW I don't know what to think.

One of my favorite present day actors.

This sucks BUTT.

[TheJadedGamer]

I just...can't believe it. Really, it's shocking.

First Renfro, and then Ledger. Way too soon for the both of them.

[sarah1980]

:eek:

i was like is this a big joke??

i'm broken hearted right now :(:(

[MidgetMe]

man.... just.... man.... man! ;.; My mom called me to let me know, it wasn't something I was expecting at all. I let my friends know as quick as I could reach them. .... man.... :(

[bigred760]

I don't mean to keep plugging CNN, but since I work there, I can tell you Headline News is covering the breaking news of his death.

They're bound to have any new updates.

[tbone]

:eek:

i was like is this a big joke??

i'm broken hearted right now :(:(

Same here -- I really don't even know what to think about this -- utterly shocking

[The Mack]

It sucks, and it's a shock. Not only because he was a great actor, but also because he has a young daughter as well, Madeline. It's going to be hard to watch TDK without thinking about what could have been. And after all the shit everyone was talking when he was casted for the part, he fucking owned in those trailers, you know he kicked major ass in that movie. He'll be great missed, and wow...I don't know what else to say.

RIP.

[TeeRay]

Wow. Last thing I expected to hear today.

A loss of one of the better actors of this generation. R.I.P.

[Scarfather]

There's this feeling I get when I hear something terrible; it's like someone reaching into my skull and pinching my brain. First one of 2008. Too much youth and talent to go like this, but I guess Shit was A.W.O.L. so tragedy had to Happen instead.

What a fucking shame.

RIP Heath Ledger. It's to shocking to say anything right now. I might later. He was a great up and coming actor.

My mother just called up to me to tell me this news... I can't believe it.
A horrible, senseless, tragic loss of too young and talented a life. My heart bleeds for his two year old daughter.

RIP.

[DarkKnight81]

Wow, what a shock. Terrible shame. This is the first time I can remember being this shocked by an actor's death. RIP

[NathanRomano]

I... Cant.... Believe.... This.

[The Postmaster General]

Seriously, I thought this was another marketing campaign for TDK.

Hell, people.

Latest:

Apparent suicide.

Found in Mary-Kate Olson's apartment.





We come into this world, people. We either make our mark or we don't. I know there's a lot of people on this board on the verge of coming into their hopes and dreams. Keep remembering that you only get one of them this time around. Make it a good one and waste no moment.

Fuck.

[Dead Halloween]

Really sad news indeed. R.I.P.

[zombievictim]

Cops are reporting that it was an accidental overdose on prescription drugs.

[SkyNet]

Latest:

Apparent suicide.

Found in Mary-Kate Olson's apartment.





Fuck.

is that true... he was found in Mary Kates room???

[Jerk Shapiro]

Jesus fucking Christ dudes and ladies... this is horrible. My good friend just text messaged me the news and I'm still in fucking shock. I enjoyed everything the Heath was ever in ya know... He was a fucking talent. Gonna be hard to watch The Dark Knight now.

[The Postmaster General]

is that true... he was found in Mary Kates room???


Yes, according to what I'm reading.

[darko187]

God Bless him and his family. I feel very down. He was in my opinion one of the greatest actors of this generation.

[dannywalker17]

That's even more tragic if it was accidental.

Not that suicide isn't tragic. R.I.P. Heath.

[bdubprod]

damn. shocking indeed.


fox news is saying it was either accidental, or a possible suicide.

[gyro_44]

Absolutely shocking. I heard this on the radio driving home and went into shell shock.

Such a huge talent, and he was just starting to show the world. This is unspeakably sad.

[Cop No. 633]

I can't believe this. My friend called me up as soon as he had heard. At first I thought he said, "Heath Ledger was gay." But then he clarified and I was speechless.

This is about the most tragic death in cinema since Brandon Lee died. This is terrible news.

[brodeurnumber1]

He was becoming an absolute star and now something like this comes out of the complete blue. Holy shit.

[NuclearMisfit]

holy fuck. wow im just speechless right now, I really cant wrap my mind around this right now

[Tony_Montana]

I thought my friend was having a laugh when he first told me


RIP :(

[JJFlamingo]

HOLY SHIT

A horrifying shocking tragedy and the possible downfall of Nolan's Batman series. I mean, how do you market this now??

RIP :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :(

[bourahioro]

like I said before in General Movie Talk -

RIP Heath Ledger, you'll be missed.

I hope TDK finishes dispite this tragedy.

[gyro_44]

HOLY SHIT

A horrifying shocking tragedy and the possible downfall of Nolan's Batman series. I mean, how do you market this now??
Probably the same way it was going to be marketed before. I don't think the movie will suffer at all, why would it? They may end up dedicating the film in his memory, that's the only thing that might change.

[viking]

I recently read an interview with him were he talkled about his daughter who is about the same age as mine. Everything he said was from the heart and said with so much love. The things he spoke of we exactly the same as my life, the way you feel, the thing being a dad changes.
Really top bloke.
Can't believe this.
So sad.

[therealjohng]

This is going to make his performance in The Dark Knight that much more chilling.

[The Postmaster General]

Before I report this, let me just say how much the news media pisses me off trying to get information out there the fastest, no matter how incorrect.

"THIS IS NOT THE HOME OF MARY-KATE OLSON."



Apparently, Ledger has been down to 2 hours of sleep a night. Using sleeping pills to fall asleep, but even after taking Ambien (which pharmaceutical cos. will be getting sued for in the next 3 years), he'd wake up after an hour.

Who knows with the news media though, in the next hour we might find out he was decapitated or something. :roll eyes:




My hopes are with his family right now. I bet that daughter is going to grow into quite the beautify in both her soul and her looks.

Fuck.

[Antonio141]

First Brad Renfro, now Ledger...damn it's gonna be one of those years! The weird thing is that when I first saw THE DARK KNIGHT previews a month ago, Heath's makeup reminded me of Brandon Lee from THE CROW...who also died before that movie was released. Weird.

[Terror Australis]

This is absolutely surreal. I am in complete utter shock.

R.I.P. Heath

[therealjohng]

Heath's makeup reminded me of Brandon Lee from THE CROW...who also died before that movie was released. Weird.


I said the exact same thing to my friend when he called me with this info about 45 minutes ago

[Shockwave]

Holy shit!

I cant beleive this. I thought it was a joke when i first read the article.:(

Sad news for anyone to leave this world, but i thought the was really going to one of the greats.


Gotta live while u can.

[dtrain8906]

Im haunted by an old interview saying Ledger had trouble sleeping what if he O.D.ed on sleeping pills?

[The Postmaster General]

Im haunted by an old interview saying Ledger had trouble sleeping what if he O.D.ed on sleeping pills?


That seems to be the theory. Either intentional, or accidental.

If he really was getting so little sleep, it's possible his body just broke down.

[dtrain8906]

I was actually watching TDK trailer as I do daily because I lack a social life when my dad told me and i swear to god the exact scene that was up when he told me was WHY SO SERIOUS

why indeed

[KCJ506]

I've never been so shocked about a celebrity death since John Ritter.

What's pissing me off is that there are people already talking about recasting the Joker or worrying about TDK getting delayed. The movie's not getting delayed, it's not even coming out for another six months. The man just died and all these people can think about is a movie getting delayed?

[RustyRazor]

When I turn on my computer, I usually expect to read news from the absurd to the disturbing.
I always dread reading about hearing someone having died.
I lack the ability the words to describe how I'm feeling about this.
I don't think I'm going to be able to.

RIP Heath Ledger.

[dtrain8906]

Agreed while I did think of the movie it was for a moment what PISSES ME OFF is assholes saying this is all part of the viral, that to me is Sick.

[sarah1980]

Yes, according to what I'm reading.

edit

sorry missed your post clearing that up

[EBastard]

Suicide or accidental overdose, I truly FUCKING DESPISE DRUGS after today.

As of right now, my prayers are with Heath's entire family.



SHIVER ME TIMBERS...

RIP, HEATH.:(

[NuclearMisfit]

Yes, according to what I'm reading.

Why cant Britney, Lohan and Hilton be friends with the Olsens.

The news is saying he was taking the sleeping pills due to his haunting performance as The Joker and the guy who last interviewed him is singing to the press.

[therealjohng]

Weird how one of the biggest news days of the year for movies (The Oscars) is now completely overshadowed by this. Such a shame. He kicked such fucking ass in Brokeback Mountain.

[dtrain8906]

My god I guess he got 2 into it he really thought he was the Joker. No sane person can have that kind of mentality for long not without side effects.

[Superplasmatron]

this is going to put a strange shadow over the dark knight returns, gosh!

[NuclearMisfit]

Wait till Nancy Grace gets ahold of this shell portray him as a maniac drug addict monster who beat children, i fucking hate the media.

[dtrain8906]

if she does she'll be killed

[Tagia_Romero]

First poor Brad Renfro now Ledger?
R.I.P

I did not see this one coming.

[EBastard]

Wait till Nancy Grace gets ahold of this shell portray him as a maniac drug addict monster who beat children, i fucking hate the media.
If she does, I'll be there to shit on her grave when she fucking croaks.

[NuclearMisfit]

I love this lady on who handles the entertainment news on CNN shes like "I dont want to speculate, but this dude was fighting alcoholism, drugs and he was so jittery and nervous". You dont want to speculate but you dont mind voicing your opinion on the matter bitch.

[Bourne101]

Completely speechless. I've never been affected by the death of an actor like I have been by the death of Heath Ledger. When I first heard I literally refused to believe it.

RIP

[Raoul Duke]

What the hell..

rip

[pablo_super1!]

HOLY SHIT, i'm fucking shocked. I've never felt this way about a celebrity death, Brad Renfro just dies and I was mildly shocked but not like this. I just finished posting a board of my favorite movie trailers and thought not to include the Dark Knight, and I click new posts and see this.

I was not expecting this, Its a very sad day in film. I'd rather have him alive than have the Dark Knight than have him die because of trying to fulfill fans by playing a horrifying Joker. I mean if he couldn't handle the role he should told Christopher Nolan or taken some days off its so messed up, and I'm not trying to rag on him or anything. I'm sure Christopher Nolan will dedicate the movie to him.

It shouldn't take a death to do this, but I hope that after this event, this man...people will truly realize how precious life is. Just look at how all of us are affected, not even knowing this man in person. Let this bring people together and make them understand that you only have one chance to experience life, that it isn't some joke and time for carelessness. As a great Soviet rock singer Victor Tsoi once sang in a song "Look after yourself" Also, a young man who has had millions of fans and died young in a car accident.

my dad just got home and i was really surprised he didn't know cuz work always as the radio going

he's pretty shocked too cuz alot of his films my dad loved like 10 Things (yes my dad liked that film)

Brad Renfro and now this?

All too crazy. I couldn't think for a good couple of minutes after I read it. Just crazy and sad.

well, this sucks. a fine actor passes away in his prime. if you haven't seen brokeback mountain yet, check it. his performance is goddamn beautiful.

rest in peace. :(

Well, its my last class at college, and im sitting there waiting for the professor to come in, when a girl comes in saying "did you guys hear that heath ledger died?". Everyone was confused and said no, and i seriously just shook it off as some stupid rumor. Then, halfway in class, my bro texts me saying hes dead, and i was just disconnected from everything.

Horrible news. RIP Heath, you were awesome!

[someguy]

Wait, so you take Heath and you keep Owen Wilson?

THIS WASN'T PART OF THE DEAL

I watched it for you guys. It's pretty disturbing.

[deppjolieperabo]

THE film industry is grieving after the death today of actor Heath Ledger, whom colleagues say was one of the best Australia has produced.

Nicole Kidman said her heart went out to 28-year-old Ledger's family after his death in New York, possibly from a drug overdose.

"What a terrible tragedy," Kidman said through her publicist Wendy Day.

"My heart goes out to Heath's family."

Mel Gibson, who gave Ledger his first Hollywood break in The Patriot, said Ledger's death was a tragic loss.

"I had such great hope for him," Gibson said on the Entertainment Tonight website.

"He was just taking off and to lose his life at such a young age is a tragic loss. My thoughts and prayers are with him and his family."

Gibson once described Ledger as possessing "the unknown factor" that "sort of lights up the screen".

John Travolta, speaking at a GDay USA event in New York, said he had "adored" Ledger.

"He's touched me deeply as a talent and it's a great loss," Travolta said on the Access website.

"Losing him at any age would be a loss but it was pretty rough news. I was really shocked by it."
Fellow Australian actor Samuel Johnson said Ledger's latest performance in the Batman movie The Dark Knight was set to be one of his best.

"His portrayal of The Joker in the new Batman (film) was going to rival Jack Nicholson's in the original," he said on ABC radio.

"I've heard nothing but positive feedback about his latest job. I'm distraught about this ... I think we've lost one of the best young actors Australia's produced - if not the best."

Neil Armfield, who directed Ledger in his last Australian movie, Candy, said he was "incredibly saddened" to hear of the actor's death.

"He was a young boy in many ways, still a boy when he left Perth and got into this whirlwind of his career," Armfield said on ABC radio.

"He handled his career incredibly well - he made a decision about four years ago to stop being led by producers and managers and to forge his own way. He started working with the most interesting directors. He was so successful at breaking out of the teen idol image.

"We saw with his relationship with the paparazzi that he was vulnerable and felt intensely invaded and got so unbelievably distressed. The photographers would try to push him into a reaction and he was a young man so he would react."

Australian critics said Ledger, who was nominated for an Academy Award for his role as a gay cowboy in Brokeback Mountain, had a promising future.

"It is extremely sad because he was so young, only 28 years old, and still so promising," David Stratton said on ABC radio.

"And yet he'd done some extraordinary scenes."

Margaret Pomeranz, Stratton's co-presenter on the ABC TV show At The Movies, said she was shocked.

"I am so upset, I just can't tell you," Pomeranz said.

"I mean he is such a talented boy and really, I think a beautiful soul. And I think to choose the roles he chose shows such intelligence."

Australian actor Aden Young spoke of Ledger as a warm and friendly person whose death had deprived the world of a great talent.

"I think really if you take into account the quality of his work it's a real tragedy that we've lost the opportunity to see more of it in the future," Young said.

"It's an extraordinary tragedy for his daughter and for his family, it's a real shock. It's just a terrible loss."

The president of Warner Brothers said the film studio was devastated by Ledger's death.

"The studio is stunned and devastated by this tragic news," Alan Horn said in a statement on TMZ.com.

The studio is producing The Dark Knight.

"The entertainment community has lost an enormous talent. Heath was a brilliant actor and an exceptional person. Our hearts go out to his family and friends."

[jackson13]

I came in to work at 5 tonight and a co-worker said "I just heard Heath Ledger died." and I replied "Ha! Yeah right!" and she said she was serious so I said "Are you sure it wasnt a mistake like Shmeath Shmegder?" and she said no so I went to a computer and sure enough there it was.

And I instantly felt like I had been punched in the gut, kicked in the balls and slapped in the face. All at the same time. I grabbed the nearest chair, sat down, calmed myself, then, in a total blur, grabbed every movie of his off our shelves and set up a giant IN MEMORIUM display for him. And then of course, since it was all breaking news, every person that came in said "Heath Ledger died? Lies." and I had to explain it all to everyone.

I have never been this shaken up over the death of a celebrity. I've been saddened by some, unsympathetic to others, but never grief stricken this much. This sucks on just so many levels. His performance as the Joker will no doubt go down as one of the greatest in the history of film, and it sucks so much that it'll be his last.

I'm just in utter shock right now. Will be for awhile. I really liked Heath.

I said this in the Batman thread, and I think it's all I really can say at this point... I'm still shocked:

Ledgers... Gone? Holy fucking crap. That, I don't know what to say. I sort of expected to see him for years to come, the guy was starting to shape into one of the best actors in Hollywood. God damn it. It's sad to see some taken in what I personally would consider their prime. Rest in peace, Heath. We will miss you.

Like everybody else I was in total shock when I heard the news. Heath Ledger was well on his way to becoming one of the greatest actors of his generation and now he is gone. I feel terrible for his family especially his daughter who now has to grow up without a father. Thankfully we will always have the great movies that Heath gave us to keep his memory alive forever.


R.I.P HEATH

[Drewza89]

I feel terrible for him and his family, especially his little girl. It's so sad. I hope there will be a nice dedication to him in TDK. I haven't seen many of his movies, but it was clear to me that he was going to become a top movie star. He had an abundance of talent. This is a very sad day. Let's keep his family in our thoughts and prayers.

[Tweek]

Me neither. And I will never watch it. Good old insensitive, exploitative TMZ. Fuck em.

I couldn't even watch the video of Spears being hauled away in the ambulance after that unpleasantness with her children.

Meh. TMZ sucks. :mad: How is warranted to post that kind of video? Even still images of something like that I would've been pissed.

[Mr. Fred Krueger]

Apparently, Heath had pneumonia:

TMZ has been contacted by a rep from Heath's family. The cops told the family Heath's death was accidental and there is no evidence to support the buzz that he may have committed suicide.

They are particularly distraught over media reports that he may have taken his own life. The family says he was not that kind of person.

As we just reported, Heath was ill with pneumonia when he died.

[ListersParanoia]

Me neither. And I will never watch it. Good old insensitive, exploitative TMZ. Fuck em.

No shit, I watched vid with Lindsey Lohan and the fucking reporter says "Hey Lindsey Heath is dead, any comments" what a fucking insensitive piece of shit, I wanted to kick his goddamn teeth in! How'd you like the death of a friend broken to you like that you fu**ing scumbag!

[Tweek]

I wanted to kick his goddamn teeth in!

If she had done that, my respect would've gone up for her. And really it was not all the low to begin with.

[Lady Stardust]

I don't know if i'll be able to watch TDK now:(:(:(:(

No shit, I watched vid with Lindsey Lohan and the fucking reporter says "Hey Lindsey Heath is dead, any comments" what a fucking insensitive piece of shit, I wanted to kick his goddamn teeth in! How'd you like the death of a friend broken to you like that you fu**ing scumbag!

People like that don't care about anything of value, but just how to get the freshest most exclusive vid so his shitty exploitation site can rake in bucks and get ratings.

[JasonBourne]

I'm stunned by this!!!! Looking forward to his role as The Joker, but now I don't know how I feel when I watch him, knowing that he's dead.

My condolences to Michelle, Mathilda and his family.

GODSPEED!!!! HEATH!!!

This fuckin sucks. His career was really starting to take off. I loved the guy.

Heath Ledger's rep called the actor's death an "accident" and asked for privacy for his family.

"We are deeply saddened and shocked by this accident," said publicist Mara Buxbaum in a statement. "This is an extremely difficult time for his loved ones. We're asking the media to please respect the family's privacy and avoid speculation until the facts are known."

Ledger, 28, was found dead Tuesday in a New York apartment. A police source says that two bottles of prescription sleep aids were near the body.

[Lord Raiden]

A talented actor who was definitely on the rise.
Taken way too soon.
RIP, Heath.

[Weapon X]

I guess Lewis Black was right: "The good die young...pricks live forever."

RIP.

[KCJ506]

I'm hoping this doesn't turn into another "Chris Benoit" situation where we find out more disturbing details later. That would really ruin his legacy.

[dennisv]

fuck, i feel like

Fuck, I feel like I want to cry. This is worst celebrity death news I ever heard and just on the brink of his major success. We loved you, Heath. Can't wait to see you in Dark Knight. Rest in peace.

I was shocked to read the news when a buddy posted it at another board. I had to check CNN to make sure it wasn't a hoax. I wonder how this will impact the Terry Gilliam film that Ledger was currently working on.

Here is the entry for Ledger's death site at Dark Destinations. (http://www.thecabinet.com/darkdestinations/location.php?sub_id=dark_destinations&letter=h&location_id=heath_ledger_death_site)

[go2]

such a great actor to his best movie being brokeback mountain which he should have won best actor for

[adyc]

i can not fucking belive it i think why he did it:eek:

[Scorpio24]

I don't really feel the mass out pour of guilt when somene dies. I mean I feel very sorry for the family of the deceased and it is a very sad thing but I don't follow actors personal lives and such so I don't really get to "know them" for want of a better phrase.

But this really did shock and upset me last night. Couldn't switch off the news for hours. Just watching the same reports over and over in bewilderment. Maybe it's the fact he seemed a top guy with no interest in celebrity or the amount of effort he put into his acting. Or maybe it's the fact that he had a small child. It's probably a mixture of all of these things. 28same age as me. So young and so out of the blue. Just absolutley tragic.

It's stuff like this that puts childish bullshit like place your bets on celebrity death's in 2008 threads into some fucking perspective. At least you'd hope.

RIP

[KillerKlown]

Such a shock...

RIP.

By doing this they're only promoting Brokeback Mountain and the rest of his movies, including The Dark Knight.

They are a hate group, no different from white supremacists or the like as far as I'm concerned.

I just read this myself:

Edit: picture removed because I just couldnt stomach reading it everytime this page was visited.


It should be legal to kill people for the sole reason of killing this entire family. How are they allowed to live on a daily basis? Heath Ledger was very popular and very respected. I look for at least something to happen to the WBBC people out of this. They've pissed off families and bikers and other people in the past and gotten away with it. Now they are going after Hollywood. Someone, somewhere, please, stop Fred Phelps and his psychotic family. Please.

[electriclite]

Whatever your stance is about gays or anything gay related, once you get the inkling that any of your beliefs are close to the mindset of the WBC people that thought should be terrifying enough to make you wanna rethink that stance with the quickness.

Its the great irony of the WBC. Their horror show of anti-gay protesting probably does more for gay understanding and tolerance than any PC PA campaign.

Thank you "Reverend" for your contribution to the gay community.

[jackson13]

I just simply cannot understand how people are murdered every second of the day somewhere on this planet yet Fred Phelps and his family go unharmed. No one has even kicked their asses at least. It makes no sense to me. None at all.

And while I'm on the subject, some people have said to me before "You actually wish death upon people?" Yes, in the case of the Westboro Baptist Church, I wish every single member of that fucked up church a painful horrible death. Every single one of them. For someone to go through life with the mindset that they do, and the hate that they spew, they do not deserve the right to grace this Earth with their presence. They are modern day Nazi's, except worse because the Nazi's were at least stopped. No one seems to be stopping them from what they do, and with each protest and whatnot they get stronger and cause more and more outrage, but continue to go untouched.

To quote Samuel L. Jackson: "Yes they deserve to die! And I hope they burn in Hell!"

Fuck you Fred Phelps. Fuck you in the sense that I have never meant that phrase more in my life. Fuck you. You are the worst person in the history of the planet. I would shake Osama Bin Ladens hand before so much as even look in your general direction. You are the biggest piece of scum alive today, and the only people closer to that distinction are the idiots who follow you in your fucked up church of hate.



Back on topic: I was sent a link today of what are believe to be the last known pictures of Heath before he died, and they were just of him walking down the street looking completely out of it. He was incredibly pale and obviously not all there, as one picture actually showed him laying on the sidewalk like he had tripped or fallen. Im assuming this is all because he was sick with pneumonia and out of it from the cold. I know that colds can kill people and am just wondering now if his cold killed him, and not sleeping pills. The autopsy is today, hopefully we'll find out soon enough what exactly happened. I woke up this morning hoping it was all a dream and it wasnt, it was the first thing I saw on the news this morning and sadly the first thing I had to start my day with.

[BakeTheMooCow]

The thing about Fred Phelps and his family are that they're attention whores. They may be brainwashed and completely devoid of a single moral fiber in their bodies, but more than that, they seek attention from others, particularly vulnerable people.

They picket soldiers' funerals. Is it surprising that they would picket Heath Ledger's funeral?

The best thing to do is to ignore them. If you get angry and write letters and lose your shit over them, it's a waste of your time. Think of them as internet trolls. Never feed the trolls.

Yeah, I would love it if they all died in a freak photography accident like the beginning of King Ralph. But it would be even better if no one knew what they were upto and they didn't get interviews in the national media and angry petitions being signed against them. Just fucking ignore em. They don't deserve your attention.

[JackassFan]

I'm still in shock.

RIP. :(

Those religious assholes are lucky they're nowhere near me, I'd kaili-stick the shit out of them. And I'm not kidding either.

if they really do picket his funeral... i do hope someone kills them.. everyone of them that is holding a picket. Im talking walks up to them and guts the shit out of them!

if his funeral was near where i lived, and i knew those ass holes were ognna be there, you'd bet your ass i'd be there to kick the ever loving shit out of those people!

If they really do picket it.. i hope someone just fucking offs them right there!

I'm talking SAW and HOSTEL like torture on these people!

looking at that press release for the picket... there is a phone number for thats tupid ass church: (apparently some ppl have already called it)... i dont know if im allowed to post it here, so im not gonna... but ya, if you click on that SOURCE link provided, there is a phone number for that stupid ass church you can call!

Kind of like cancer, but unfortunately that's not as predominant among the Westboro Church members.

I woke up this morning hoping it was all a dream and it wasnt, it was the first thing I saw on the news this morning and sadly the first thing I had to start my day with.

Same here. I kept hoping it was all a dream. I saw it on the news and felt the pain all over again. I don't think any celebrities death has had such an effect on me. I can't even talk about it with all the idiots at school who know nothing about it because it upsets me. Then again, I've had a difficult time in the last month with death so that probably contributes to it.

[Briare Rabbit]

In all the celebrity deaths I have ever been in the business of celeb deaths to witness, I have never felt like this. I have never seen such an outpouring of grief over the death of a celebrity. It seems to me that this generation now has their River Phoenix- and I wish it didn't have to be him. The show of grief from Travolta, Blanchett, Mel Gibson and all the others has been really something. I don't recall this ever happening. For any fan of the movies, casual or diehard this has been an incredibly tough loss. I have never seen a film of his I didn't love- and I plan to watch those I haven't.

RIP Heath Ledger.
The good die young.

Today I had finally gained some respect for a lot of people in my school because not only was Heath's death talked about in a respectful manner (for the most part) but they were genuinely saddened by it. Some girl in one of my classes was teary eyed. And we had a discussion about him in my English class and I got to say a few things to get all the stories straight. Got to say that he was an amazing actor and one of the best of his generation.

Then of course there are the assholes who say "Fuck Heath Ledger, he deserved it." I couldn't believe it when I heard that. I completely lost respect for them at that moment. Hopefully their opinion changes greatly once he gets told for the millionth time it wasn't a suicide (which at this time is speculation but very likely)

RIP Heath

At that point I got pissed, standing up for every around me and told him that wasn't the point. We feel for the families who lost their son/brother. Its not like you can't grow attached to an actor. Some people just don't understand that.

I'm pretty sure that Ledger will be laid to rest in his native home of Australia.

[FLAME_ON]

Yeah I've been hearing the whole... "What about all the soldiers dying in the Middle East every day they have families??? Why does Heath deserve this attention?!"
I tried explaining how ignorant it was to compare an artist/entertainer to a soldier of war who should be aware of the possibility of loosing their life for their country. Additionally, this has been a shock on all levels; Heath's not one of the "expected" people to die, people knew he had incredible talent whether or not they had seen his films, and his death doesn’t have a clean-cut answer.
I truly adored the man and just as anyone else who has experienced death; the one thing I can’t get out of my head is the fact he’ll never come back. Heath was rare. He will be greatly missed.

I'm not sure what to think of that. I mean, it could be how you're viewing it as someone trying to make a buck off his death. But it may have just been a fan of his doing it. I know had I worked there I would've done something similar. I don't know about putting a sign up saying that. But I'd rally a bunch of his movies and put them where people can see them.

Health Ledger update: Two calls made to Olsen before 911 called
12:41PM Thursday January 24, 2008



The masseuse who found Heath Ledger's unconscious body reportedly made two calls to Mary-Kate Olsen (pictured) before calling 911. Photo / Reuters


The masseuse who found Heath Ledger's body twice rang the actress Mary-Kate Olsen, a friend of the Australian actor, before calling the emergency number 911, it's been reported.

The New York Times online, quoting unnamed New York City police officials, said the masseuse Diana Wolozin told Olsen that Ledger was unconscious.

Olsen said she would call some private security people she knew in New York, and hung up.

The Times said Wolozin again shook Ledger, called Olsen a second time, and said she believed the situation was grave and would call 911.

Wolozin called 911 at 3.26pm local time and reported that Ledger was not breathing.

The 911 call was made less than 15 minutes after Wolozin first saw Ledger in bed and only a few moments after the first call to Olsen.

The 911 operator urged Wolozin to try to revive Ledger, but she was unsuccessful.

Emergency medical workers arrived at 3.33pm, at the same time a private security guard called by Olsen arrived.

[zombievictim]

Do we really need updates on all of the stupid rumors out there regarding his death? Lets just stick with the facts and discuss his career.

[yorrick brown]

Yeah call your private security :rolleyes:.

Last I heard the Westboro Baptist Church was successfully sued for 11 million dollars after protesting a marine corporal's funeral. It's probably in the appeals process now, but I'd like to think that they couldn't afford this demonstration.

That Joker role is getting more and more interesting for me. This has nothing to do with his death really. Even if he were still alive, he went through some rough stuff before the role, and he probably enjoyed himself to act it out in whatever way. Any artist knows how theraputic art itself can be. I'm sure The Joker was a lot of fun for him. Exploring your depths in an artistic way is pretty cathartic.
I'm not insinuating The Dark Knight had anything to do with his death. Just as an acting performance, it seems like he was at least wildly interested in the role. Plus, it's just nice to think he might have had fun with himself (however abstractly) before he died.

[FatSakHead]

I think the real punishment would be for Fred Phelps to be tied to a tree and forced to watch his family be slowly murdered. Then someone shoots Fred in the knee caps and stomach and leaves him to bleed to death in a field where cows shit on him all day.

Daniel Day-Lewis was on Oprah this morning and nearly broke down when talking about Heath. If there's a full Oscar telecast this year, I imagine lots of presenters and winners will be talking about him.

It's been a few days, but I still can't believe he's dead. There's so much we take for granted.

I think it's starting to sink in.

That's a cool clip, but it got me thinking.

I've been hearing all these interviewers saying how fidgety Heath was when promoting I'm Not There - how this must of been a sign of addiction, being troubled, or whatever theories they had.

I just watched that clip, and noticed he was in fact quite fidgety, but I also thought --- you know who else was fidgety like that in his younger days? Bob Dylan.

And this is with him holding a cigarette -

http://youtube.com/watch?v=AjqBc7XCVsM&feature=related



Hm.... Ledger was acting unusually fidgety while doing interviews promoting a movie about Bob Dylan.... Yeah, and while promoting Pirates movies, they must have concluded that Depp was planning to become a hip-hop singer because of the gold teeth.

the fidgetiness is the one thing that's very clear, I do agree with you Bubba. It could've been a sign of something seriously wrong with Heath's condition. Or maybe we're all just looking into this too much.

[KCJ506]

I hate how TMZ keeps reporting it like "The drugs found in Heaths Apartment!"

Why can't they call them prescriptions or medication, instead of trying to get everyone to think he OD'd on crack or something.

[jolanar]

I guess I'll add my two cents for what it's worth.

This is really the first celebrity death to really effect me. Usually it's some 80 year old act from the 50's who finally kicked the bucket after X many years of dealing with X disease. But this... so young and so unexpected. Such a waste! My condolences to friends and family of Mr. Heath Ledger.

John Gibson Mocks Heath Ledger's Death

Fox News host John Gibson decided that it was appropriate to mock the death of actor Heath Ledger on his radio show. While, Gibson clearly wasn't happy that a young man's life has come to an end, it still didn't stop him from throwing Ledger's name around throughout his program. [via ThinkProgress]

Gibson started off with calling Ledger a "weirdo" with a "serious drug problem." He continued by playing audio clips from "Brokeback Mountain," stating that "he found out how to quit you," and quoting Ledger by saying "we're dead."

Later in the show, Ledger's name came up again, this time, regarding the market. "Maybe he had a serious position in the market," said Gibson. "He was depressed about yesterday's downturn in the world stock markets."

And then again, regarding the democratic debate in South Carolina. "Apparently Heath Ledger was suicidal and his friends saw it coming. I think he watched the Clinton-Obama debate last night. I think he was an Edwards guy, cause he saw his Edwards guy was just completely irrelevant."

All this, even when New York City Police spokesman Paul J. Browne told the NY Times that there was "no obvious indication of suicide."

There's no point to this post....I just have to say how much I am going to miss this man....this...incredible man. It's weird how alot of people who hear this sort of awful news exclaim, "Oh my god he's dead!" and run around to tell everyone they know like its a hot juicy rumor, then proceed to speculate or give their two cents on what they think happened, rather then to exclaim how amazing he was on screen or even as a media figure.

I'm sorry for rambling it just feels like I knew him somehow even though I've never met him in my life, and I know that you Schmo's would understand. In regards to the world of movies and actors, there's no better crowd to vent to then you guys.

I'm really going to miss you Heath.

THE BAD

Former face-painting wrestling superstar and current homophobe Ultimate Warrior is using Heath Ledger's death as an opportunity to take serious shots at Heath, gays and his former rival, Hulk Hogan.

In a post on his blog titled "dead long before 28," the idiot Warrior refers to Heath as "Leather Ledger," and facetiously praises the late actor's parenting skills by saying he "did what it took to kill himself," adding, "His kid is without a father, yes, but the negative influence is now removed and his own child has the chance for a full recovery."

Warrior also refers to "Brokeback Mountain" as "Bendover Brokeback" and mockingly praises Heath's courage for taking the role. All this from a man who became famous for oiling himself up and running around in man-panties and teased hair!

But the bashing wasn't over -- Warrior then went after Hulk Hogan's fathering skills, saying, "He insists on sticking around ruining, and profiting off of, the parentally mismanaged lives of his own children."


this is from a guy that has this on his mainpage.

I am also NOT confused about my gender. I have no desire to tone down the nature of the sex I am. I am a male and am proud to be a man. I will often forcefully punctuate my points and positions on ideas and issues with manly language. I make no apologies.

It makes me want to get a steel baseball bat and break his fuckin knees, then his elbows and make him invalid..then I wanna swing that bat across his DAMN MOUTH Jodie Foster Panic Room style, so all of his teeth get KNOCKED DA FUCK OUT. BITCH GIBSON FUCK YOU :mad::mad::mad:

as a matter of fact Im going to write HATEMAIL to this faggot right now

[EVILxxx]

Ya know, if ya have to explain it, it probably means you aren't it.

Btw, the Ultimate Warrior hasn't mattered since 1993, and his opinion hasn't mattered since long before that.





And Daniel Day Lewis is class all the way.
With all those roids in his system I wouldn't be surprised if he dropped dead tomorrow.

Give me a whisper
And give me a sign
Give me a kiss before you
tell me goodbye
Don't you take it so hard now
And please don't take it so bad
I'll still be thinkin' of you
And the times we had...baby


And don't you cry tonight
Don't you cry tonight
Don't you cry tonight
There's a heaven above you baby
And don't you cry tonight

That Daniel Day Lewis video is heart breaking... i mean... if basically sums up what the lot of us have been thinkin over the past few days... we didnt know him, but he seemed like he'd be a dude we'd all like!

and to be honest... i didnt even know The Ultimate Warrior was still alive!

and those pics of ledger.. are those of Ledger in character on the Gilliam set?? or are those some candid photos of a man on the verge??

[bigred760]

I don't even know who this so-called 'Ultimate Warrior' is. :p He must matter that much. ;)

That makes two of us; never heard of the guy, and was wondering why he spoke on the subject.

I watched the Daniel Day Lewis bit and almost shed a tear. The guy is a class act 100%. He didn't even know the guy, and was heartbroken.

[Tweek]

Holy crap at those pictures. :(

[Shockwave]

For the pics, his long hair and beard were part of his role on the gilliam set.(..i think)

As for the groggy look on his face, its probably just what it seems, a super-duper lack of sleep.:(

EW.com has an interview with Christopher Plummer (http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,20173302,00.html) who talks about the film "The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus" (the set where those last photos were taken from) and his memories of Heath.

John Gibson Mocks Heath Ledger's Death

Fox News host John Gibson decided that it was appropriate to mock the death of actor Heath Ledger on his radio show. While, Gibson clearly wasn't happy that a young man's life has come to an end, it still didn't stop him from throwing Ledger's name around throughout his program. [via ThinkProgress]

Gibson started off with calling Ledger a "weirdo" with a "serious drug problem." He continued by playing audio clips from "Brokeback Mountain," stating that "he found out how to quit you," and quoting Ledger by saying "we're dead."

Later in the show, Ledger's name came up again, this time, regarding the market. "Maybe he had a serious position in the market," said Gibson. "He was depressed about yesterday's downturn in the world stock markets."

And then again, regarding the democratic debate in South Carolina. "Apparently Heath Ledger was suicidal and his friends saw it coming. I think he watched the Clinton-Obama debate last night. I think he was an Edwards guy, cause he saw his Edwards guy was just completely irrelevant."

All this, even when New York City Police spokesman Paul J. Browne told the NY Times that there was "no obvious indication of suicide."

It was just something said out of frustration. I've never liked her, or her sister, and the fact that she is highly involved in this yet basically not making a peep about things just seems odd to me.

What were the security-guys supposed to do ...
It's such a tragedy ...:(

I don't understand as well why they perform an autopsy on him, he's dead and will never come back , so it doesn't really matter whereof he died.
They should let rest him in peace :(:(:(

That article said the masseuse called Olsen FOUR TIMES before alerting authorities? Honestly? I mean, that just boggles my mind. They're saying he was dead before she got there (I think), but still, how could she have known?:rolleyes:

Its not like he's really going feel it? But I do understand where you're coming from Bluesky. An autopsy is an absolute must in this situation. It has to be done in order to have the correct cause of death in the final medical report.

RIP Heath. :(

[ChickFlick]

RIP Heath :-( I never thought a celebrity death would effect me so much, but I find myself thinking about it all the time.

[EVILxxx]

Autopsies are critical in situations such as these. If Heath accidentally overdosed due to a combination of certain drugs it needs to be known so that proper guidelines can be established for people prescribed those medications in the future.

[MonkeyGoat]

Plus his family doesn't want people to think he killed himself, or had drug problems. They say he didn't and I beleive them, they are his family. It was just an hoest mistake. Sleep depravation is terrible, makes you halucinate and you feel crazy. So if you had this medicine, you'd take it too so you could sleep, you wouldn't think, "mabey this is the wrong combination," You're not in your right mind.

A friend of mine was locked in a mental institution because they thought he was schizo, turns out he hadn't slept in a month.

Heath, we hardly knew ye. Our deepest love to you and yours!

[Tweek]

Sleeping pills can make people hallucinate too. It's all a tricky thing.

[Shockwave]

I knew someone close to me who sufferd from terrible sleep loss due to a bodily trauma, and he was on something similar stuff to Ledger.

He researched it all pretty well cause he said the docs just gave him all this stuff like candy but didnt tell him what to/not to take it with.(..instead of trying to FIX the problem, many doctors are just throwing pills at people and rush to the next person in line!)

Thank god for the internet.

Gotta watch that stuff. Take the wrong two things together and -whammo!-

I still think when all is said and done, its going to be just a unlucky combo of things.:(

Shit I know all too well. My sleeping pills have made me senile. I got a shudder when finding out Ledger was on Ambien (albeit amongst other things).

There are some negligent doctors out there. :rolleyes:

[Bluesky]

This is just so sad :( Why did he have to die ... he was way too young :(
Other people who put their life on the line are still alive ... that's not fair.
Somehow it's strange , i didn't know much about him, i just saw him some years ago in A Knight's Tale but i didn't really care about him.
Just thought that he's a nice actor, that's all, but when i get to know that he died i was really shocked and couldn't believe it.
I thought it may be a a bad trick on him, but it wasn't :(
And now i'm thinking about it/him the whole time, asking me why such a person had to die :(
His death really affected me like no other death of any actor affected me before...
It just seems so senseless...
The thought that he took an unintended overdose just because of his mental problems is terrible:(

Some images speak for themselves. I've looked forward to this movie since seeing its predecessor. Now it just seems like a painful transition for those close to this project and to him. Fans will probably still warmly receive this performance and the film as a whole. It may even set box office records if the buzz is to be believed. It still doesn't bring him back. It just gives fans a chance to say good-bye once more.

We're only left with a very eclectic but short set of films in which to remember him. It would be an almost laughable understatement to say he was a rising talent and he deserved more time than he got.

Condolences to the family and friends. RIP Heath.

[Tweek]

With the exception of Christian Bale/Patrick Bateman, no actor/character has given me the creeps like this. This is good though, in comparison to Bateman as he was a different creepy.

That's a poster right? I love that.

[bourahioro]

I still feel shitty for Heath...I know what it's like to try and self medicate, because when I get migraines, I HAVE to take like 2200 - 2600 milligrams of extra strength ibuprofen, or advil liquigels, or a dent won't even happen to my headache. Accidents *DO* happen, and Heath's is unfortunate. I hope whereever his soul lays now, it's finally at peace and rest.

for the record: FUCK the Olsen's, FUCK Lohan, FUCK Hilton, FUCK Spears...the important people right now are Heath's family, and child, and the memory of someone that brought good to those like us, who demand entertainment in the form of film.

I'm sorry that i take this up once more, but how do they want to prove that he didn't killed himself?
No one except of Heath himself knows whether he has taken the "overdose" intented or unintended.
If he was afflicted with an unknown cardiac defect then you can maybe exclude that he killed himself, but as far as i know the autopsy results were inconclusive...

Man this is so sad :( No matter whether he killed himself or not, it's such a tragedy :(

What I'd like most would be to turn back time or to wake up tomorrow morning to find out that he's still alive :(

Any actor dies,time to make some money of him.

http://www.bestweekever.tv/2008/01/23/when-is-a-makeshift-best-buy-tribute-to-heath-ledger-too-soon-the-answer-always/


I go to that exact best buy every once in awhile. Not anymore.

[ListersParanoia]

I think the only way to determine it is the dosage amounts and configurations that are returned by a blood analysis. If he consumed 90 pills or something then it may be safe to say it was intensional. If they review the dosage and the levels appear normal but there were dangerous combinations present it may have been something dangerous he was unintentionally doing. The reasons don't change the fact that he's gone.

[Sigur509]

I hope to god the Best Buy I work at doesn't try to pull that shit.

If you dont want to read the whole story, here is the final paragraph:

"As it turns out, the ceremony went off without a hitch. Apparently those demonstrators were diverted to L.A. at the last minute to protest the late actor Heath Ledger at a Screen Actors Guild event."

The SAG Awards are tonight on TBS, and I plan on watching seeing as how, with the writers strike, this could be the only televised awards show of the year. If I see any WBC people on screen, especially during a tribute to Heath, I am officially jumping in my car, driving to Topeka, and opening up the biggest can of whoop ass known to man. And not a single jury in the country would convict me.

Edit: Also, this past week, a Marine from my town died. His funeral is on Tuesday. I havent heard anything about the WBC protesting it, but I just might take a quick trip south of town to the cemetery on Tuesday and see if any of those motherfuckers are here in my town. May their vengeful and hate filled God have mercy on their souls if I see any of them.

[SkyNet]

Jackson.. if you beat their ass, for realsies.. you'd be my hero!!

So, i have a question:

I know there has been alot of grief that we have all typed out on the internet, and we have all shared memories of enjoying Mr. ledger's films... and of course, this death is a shake up, you think about it and you ponder certain things:

BUT:

DO any of you all actually cry over it? has his death actually impacted your outside life in any way??


cuz i mean, you get online and you read these threads and hear the tributes, and you're natural inclination is to get choked up a little...

but outside, this hasnt affected me, i am not depressed, i go on with my life the same way i always have, now maybe my friends will bring up his name and we will discuss a certain role or something, but my life isnt impacted

And, i personally feel that, if Mr. Ledger's passing has truly caused a riff in your life, if you didnt know him, that in a way, you may be doing it simply for attention? (and i of course mean no offense to anyone who is saddened by this)

to me its like:

when i was in High School, there was a girl 2 grades younger than me who was murdered, it was sad to hear, and we had tributes and shit to her, but it didnt affect me 1 iota (especially when it came to light that the dude who killed her was in my Weights class), i mean, you sit back and go "WOW, thats fucked up and crazy"

but there were people who would cry and cry and cry in the middle of class over her death, and of course, i thought they KNEW the girl, and obviously were distraught over the loss of their friend.. but then you find out that these people had never even said 1 word to the girl, but when a death happens they HAVE to cry so that people will come comfort them and THEY can be the center of attention!

[JJFlamingo]

Death sucks, plain and simple. It has little use in this world except to cause pain.

[bigred760]

I wasn't depressed or anything, and his death hasn't personally affected me in anyway, other than the fact than the TV network I work for was reporting on it repeatedly so I had to learn more about it.

I was just bummed out that a young man, a talented actor died young. I really believe that The Dark Knight was going to make him a superstar, more than Brokeback Mountain. Now we'll never know what great performances he could've turned out after that.

Like my friend, JJFlamingo stated: death sucks.

[AndrewDB]

Unless he was gay, or portrayed a gay, the WBC won't give two shits about him.

[ListersParanoia]

Unless he was gay, or portrayed a gay, the WBC won't give two shits about him.

I thought they believed all soldier's deaths were the result of "rampant" homosexuality in the US? God for some reason or another is specifically punishing soldiers regardless of their own sexuality. Am I wrong?

[SkyNet]

you are correct... they have been picketing any soldiers death they can get to, regardless of their sexual orientation.

[daywatch]

Aaahh forget about those psychotic bunch of people, they will learn their lesson when it is their time comes. I'm disturbed and afraid that such people do not even realise what they are doing. Also to digifrutella, please calm down about Gibson, watever the reasons are for what he did i do not think he quite deserves wat you imagine doing to him. I actually do not like it when people are violent in any way even just arguing. I heard the conversation of shirley on the australian radio station and couldn't help shutting my eyes and wishing i could take away their voices. It would be nice if everyone would just be respectful instead of venting out their own problems through this news.
