Yeah, I saw that last night. That is just crappy!

What is worst is that his last film will now be "The Dark Knight" ( I am looking forward to that - big fan of the Batman movies) but, he was currently being shot in a Terry Gilliam film, "The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus" Would love to have seen that :-(

It is, RB. There aren't very many "teen" movies that I have liked, but 10 Things I Hate About You was one, and I thought Mr. Ledger was very appealing in it. I never saw Brokeback Mountain, but everything I heard about his performance in that movie was extremely positive, and I had the utmost respect for his willingness to tackle such a difficult role. I did see Monster's Ball, and he was exceptional in that. I hate seeing such a talent as this cut so short, and of course it's just tragic for his young family. Damn.

It kind of reminds you of River Phoenix, another acting career with great promise that was cut short.

AnnPW said...

It does. James Dean, too.

This is sickening.
Fox News should have to answer for this.

AnnPW said...

Oh jeez what an asshole! Yeah, they should but they won't, will they.

Well, color me wrong and pleasantly surprised.
