No details as yet, well, none down here...its only just hitting the headlines.

How sad

DucksNuts · 01-22-2008, 04:04 PM

Ok, drug overdose apparently.

Aliantha · 01-22-2008, 04:05 PM

Holy shit. I haven't even turned on the news yet.

Radar · 01-22-2008, 04:10 PM

Wow!

Cicero · 01-22-2008, 04:33 PM

I started a thread in Entertainment....suppose I need to go erase it.

Sad...

Who?

Edit: Never mind. I Googled him.

Why is the death of some actor that you never met any more important than the death of someone else that you never met?

Happy Monkey · 01-22-2008, 05:07 PM

The new Joker. I wonder if he'll be recast in any sequels.

Because even though you haven't met them, you know about them.

You could apply the same reasoning to how you feel when the parent of a friend passes away. You didn't actually know them, but because there's knowledge about them in your mind, you have an emotional response.

Hey HLJ, I was never comparing the importance of deaths. That would be offensive. I enjoyed watching Heath Ledger in films. K? Now I won't see new HL films. I bet you know of a couple actors that you would be disappointed about if they had died. Just think for a moment.

By my internal chart I'd say the quality of my movie experiences just dropped by 1 percent. That's a lot for me.

I have never formally met you or Heath Ledger.

Song:
I've never met HL or HLJ- and I'm not comparing the importance of their deaths today!! (supposed to rhyme here)

Ok better luck with the song the next celebrity death that I actually care 'bout!

I'm not dead.

I'm getting better.

I feel fine.

I think I'll go for a walk.

I feel happy. I feel happy.

Heath Ledger just turned himself into the next James Dean.

Only if he were more talented.

Radar · 01-22-2008, 05:49 PM

I thought he was pretty talented. I don't think James Dean was ever nominated for an Oscar. At least not while he was alive.

Only living people miss the point! And get to sing about it!!

So... you must be alive! (I am grateful of that, even though I have never formally met you)
