Tupac wins IMO.

Sonic Youth 37 · 01.22.2008, 05:26 PM

Man, this sucks. Heath was a good actor and seemed like a genuinely nice guy. This makes me want to see the Dark Night even more, to see what his last movie was like.

Just a theory, he said that preparing for the Joker role took a huge toll on his ability to sleep. So, perhaps, a sleeping-med overdose?

Rob Instigator · 01.22.2008, 05:33 PM

man, a sleeping med overdose would entail quite a lot of pills eaten.

Yeah, i guess so, but they did find him in (Mary-Kate Olsen's) apartment, on the bed, with pills all around.

Edit: Ok, I'm reading conflicting accounts, some say Mary-Kate's, some say it was his own. Plus, some places are saying that the pills appeared to be sleeping pills.

So, I'm done jumping to conclusions.

Fucking twins, I'm ashamed of my signature right now.

gmku · 01.22.2008, 05:46 PM

Did she drive him to it, do you think?

davenotdead · 01.22.2008, 05:50 PM

wow. Im shocked.

LittlePuppetBoy · 01.22.2008, 05:50 PM

I knew the board would be talking about this.

gmku · 01.22.2008, 05:52 PM

There is a positive in all this of course. Now all the cable news people can have something else to talk about besides Britney. And wall street and the recession? Old hat. It's going to be all Heath for weeks and weeks with all kinds of creative conjecture and in-depth looks. This is the very thing these people went to journalism school and trained for!

I'm sure Robin Meade will even come up with some kind of bubbly survey related to it for her morning headline news show.

every board is talking about this.

btw,
my cousin just directed me to an interesting bit of wikipedia info

(the two paragraphs under Ledger's name)

and it's corresponding NYT article

(CTR+F the word "sleep")

makes a lot of sense when thought about.
the role of The Joker and the toll it took on his preparing for it could very well be the culprit.

Cantankerous · 01.22.2008, 06:15 PM

guess this thread answers my previous question

Crumb's Crunchy Delights · 01.22.2008, 06:25 PM

Never heard of him.

Norma J · 01.22.2008, 06:29 PM

I heard this when I woke up this morning. Sad fucking news. He was a nice guy, a talented actor, and had basically just reached where any actor would want to reach in Hollywood.

I was just thinking of watching Two Hands the other day. Great film.

Rob Instigator · 01.22.2008, 06:32 PM

he will be the Joker in Dark Knight. oh man.

Pax Americana · 01.22.2008, 06:34 PM

Wow, I'm really sorry to hear this. I've been excited for the new Batman flick for awhile now. His portrayal of the Joker looks really interesting, and creepy. In any case, that role should be an odd swan song.

phoenix · 01.22.2008, 06:45 PM

I just heard/read this too.. this is totally unexpected. though, I dont actually follow celebs. but he just didnt seem like that type of person? weird.

Everyneurotic · 01.22.2008, 06:48 PM

this is kinda sad since one of my favorite movies is 10 things i hate about you.

and yeah, that batman movie is going to come out, hell it might come out before schedule, anybody remember the crow?
