I was telling my wife that from what I’ve seen of the still shots, his Joker make-up looked terrible. I haven’t seen Brokeback Mtn, but I’ll bet I wouldn’t like his Brokeback Mountain Fella make-up either.
In another conversation w/ da wife related to Batman Begins, I remember talking about what they were gonna call the sequel. I proposed that a good title for it could be Batman Finnegan: Begin Again, but foolishly neglected to share my idea with the movie studio.
hah, yea. I agree.
So what was the cause of death? I’m mean besides birth… Combo of drugs of some sort?
basically
and his demise is going to make whoever made the new batman a shit ton of $, not that the movie wasn’t going to make a shit ton, but now it’s got that much more allure to it
Niedermeyer, DEAD!
Oh sorry, wrong thread.
A pledge pin!?
Hate to say it, but as far as young stars ODing goes, this is pretty far down on my list of tragedies. I’d trade a dozen Heath Ledgers to get Shannon Hoon back.
Fact of the matter is, if it was an OD, it wasn’t accidental. You don’t take sleeping pills to get high.
I’d trade a dozen Shannon Hoon’s to get John Candy back.
I’d trade four or five John Candy’s to get Chris Farley back. That’s my limit though.
i’ll see your chris farley and raise you one jerry
Touche salesman, touche.
To get Blind Melon back??? WHHHAAAAA? You mean that one-hit-wonder from the 90’s?

i haven’t been following the autopsy details too closely, but they’re saying it wasn’t an OD. the prescription bottles on his nightstand were all nearly full. they think it might’ve been a chemical reaction gone bad just due to the different things he had in his system. so, all in all, just a bad twist of fate.
to add insult to injury (er, death), Fred Phelps and his “church” were at the funeral protesting and screaming to the grieving friends and family that Heath is currently burning in hell for his role in Brokeback Mountain. if anyone would like a good laugh or a dispairing gasp, check out www.godhatesfags.com.
It’s one thing if you actually believe what that guy does…it’s another thing to take it to another level and protest/disrupt a funeral service.
What a queef.
oh that guy pops up all over the place. he’s a complete joke, but a loud obnoxious one that dosen’t go away soon enough.
i used to live in Ferndale, MI which has a relatively high gay population. really cool town actually. anyway, this guy and his church (which consists solely of his family members, of which there are at least 60) shows up one weekend (i think it was the weekend of an art festival or something like that) and protests. it was hilarious. he’s old as dirt, and just a nasty old fucker. they were all holding signs that said “God Hates Fags” and screaming and yelling and all kinds of shit. people were walking behind them with mops, “cleaning” where they stood. good times, good times.
Yeah, that Fred Phelps group is basically insane. I remember Drew and Mike here in Michigan got one of them on the phone and, holy crap, they’re so far out there they may as well live on Mars. Of course, there’s all these rumors that they basically only date and marry each other so there must be a lot of cousin-lovin going on.

If that’s the case maybe we’ll get lucky with some genetic mutations…rendering that whole sect useless due to mental retardation.
Looks like it was confirmed by a NYC Medical Examiner that it was an accidental overdose of prescription medication.
I don’t know if that is different than an “accidental suicide.”
I think it would probably be the same thing.
^Yeah, I’d say they would fall into the same category.
Wow, that really sucks that it was accidental, not that it didn’t suck before, but it just seems to change the way I looked at it.
“The city medical examiner’s spokeswoman said Ledger died “as the result of acute intoxication by the combined effects” of the different drugs/effects of oxycodone, hydrocodone, diazepam, temazepam, alprazolam and doxylamine,” spokeswoman Ellen Borakove said in a statement.
The drugs are the generic names for the painkiller OxyContin, the anti-anxiety drugs Valium and Xanax, and the sleep aids Restoril and Unisom. Hydrocodone is a prescription painkiller.
^That is so ridiculous I don’t even know what to say.
WTF is with all the prescription drugs lately!?
I just don’t get it.
So many younger kids are all about them and I just can’t understand it.
And how many f’n “Anti anxiety” drugs do you really need?
If one doesn’t work, taking 3 or 4 is gonna?
Seriously, who was this guy hanging out with and getting advice from?
This is sad on so many levels.
What a sorry way to go out.
What happened to talking to your friends and family when you have anxiety?
No, we just stuff drugs into people and tell them to deal with it.
I don’t know what to think.
I weep for the youth of the world.
