Heath Ledger is dead.

Whoa, heard about it.

They say he overdosed on Sleeping pills, possibly.

Alcar 01-22-2008 01:36 PM

SMH is reporting it was illegal drugs. NBC says the pills were peppered around his bed. I think I'll abstain from making judgment until more facts pour in.

It's tragic, but at least he finished Batman.

I hate to admit it, but my first thought when I found out was,

"Oh god did he finish Batman before he died?"

Horribly childish of me, but it sucks he's dead. I'll bet you Mary-Kate Olsen had something to do with this.

Mojo 01-22-2008 02:06 PM

Bah. You beat me to it.

Shame though, he was a good actor.

Bullet Magnet 01-22-2008 02:13 PM

Condolences to his family, because we know how much they'll ease the pain.

Mac Sirloin 01-22-2008 04:50 PM

I had no goddamn idea that he was playing the joker.

Leto 01-22-2008 10:17 PM

I only really felt sympathy when he talked about how he would be happy if he died because he could live through his child, it was in the interview with him about the Bob Dylan movie.

GTFO

I actually thought "I hope they finished Batman" aswell. Possibly becaue I know how many millions of dollars it will cost the studio to reshoot all his scenes with a new actor, or how much it would hurt what will probably be a good movie by having the rewrite it around his death.

Apparently, it was an "accidental" overdose. Yes. "I accidentally swallowed the whole jar."

Alcar 01-23-2008 01:23 PM

IMDB claims it's in post-production, so relying on the credibility of IMDB, the movie should be okay.

And, new information reports that he had pneumonia. Apparently the sleeping pills can turn lethal with pneumonia.

Anybody else think we should film the audience during the showing on opening night?

Splat 01-23-2008 03:32 PM

That's really sad; I did like some of his films. Made worse by the fact he was only 2 years older than OANST.

If it's not stingrays its sleeping pills.

HEATH LEDGER WAS JUST STRUCK BY THE SECOND PLANE

mudling 01-23-2008 08:54 PM

:( Yeah, just found out, heard that it may of been becuase he was in batman, I mean, playing a phycopath isn't exactly easy, expecially when some acters "become" the role.

Please, go enjoy a nice healthy cup of SHUT THE FUCK UP.

From what I've heard, he ACCIDENTALLY combined sleeping pills with another over-the-counter drug, which resulted in cardiac arrest.

Suicide my arse, the poor guy jus. wanted to sleep/

Post of the year.


Seriously.

Better then my Pac-man death sound?

Bullet Magnet 01-24-2008 04:05 PM

What's a phycopath? Literally it means "a sufferer of the seaweed disease," which is rather surreal.

Nate 01-24-2008 11:22 PM

No, I heard the same thing as mudling; that he was so stressed out by playing the Joker that he was having trouble sleeping, so he got a prescription for sleeping pills which did bad things to his pneumonia.

mudling never mentioned suicide. It was the role that lead to his death, as he was depriving himself of sleep for it, and then after the filming, he couldn't get back into his normal sleep patterns.

Definitely RIP, but I must admit, first thing I worried about was if the movie was finished filming.

Bullet Magnet 01-26-2008 01:22 PM

Guess what! The Westboro Baptists have something to say about all this. I hope they all die in a fire.

Kimon 01-26-2008 07:13 PM

He lived and died in Brooklyn, a.k.a. within a few miles of me.

It's strange, the night he died, I was walking around as usual, when all of a sudden I felt my heart sink and I could no longer walk from intense, inexplicable grief. Coincidence?

Hmm.



But seriously, for the record, it does suck that he died. He was one of the few big-time actors whose performances I enjoyed.

Bullet Magnet 01-26-2008 07:15 PM

Yes. My 2 pence.

Your Heath Ledger sense is tingling!

But hmm, it's pretty much what you want it to be, coincidence or not, because that's pretty inexplicable, and stuff like that has happened to me and other people I know, so unexplained phenomena?

I think you're making a wonderfully obscure televisual reference there but I didn't think Season '99 made it across the Tasman.

It is explainable through probability mathematics.

Statikk HDM 01-27-2008 02:08 PM

Heath Ledger was a shitty actor but a decent human being. Too bad.
He looked exactly like this line cook I used to smoke pot with after long days.
True story.

Leto 01-27-2008 11:22 PM

What show are you reffering to Nate?

:

lollyplops, your reputation is made of immense knoweledge and facts, not faith, so I can see why you'd say that.

I'm not saying I'm a spiritual guru or anything, just that that particular sentence shows a lack of spiritual or religious beliefs, each to his own etc

Bullet Magnet 01-28-2008 08:08 AM

That it does. I've done statistics, and I am no longer surprised by improbable coincidences, because I know how very likely they are.

But this is not the time nor the place for this discussion.

Rove Season ''99

Unfortunately I can't seem to find a clip on youtube but there was a recurring sketch where Rove's Celebrity Senses would tingle, he would run offstage and save some celebrity from mortal danger.

Anonyman! 01-28-2008 08:23 AM

Oh...my...god. That furking Westboro Baptist Church (cult) is PROTESTING his funeral. If you don't know who the Church is, they walk around with God Hates Fags signs and keep talking about how bad America is. They keep stating how Heath is going to hell and all this shit. I'm pissed.

R.I.P. Heath.

Bullet Magnet 01-28-2008 08:25 AM

Isn't them boycotting the funeral a good thing?
