I actually found out a few minutes ago on the Corral in the lounge forum. I dunno WHAT happened but somehow like 8 people made 8 separate threads within minutes of each other. There are now 8 LOCKED threads in the lounge :giggle:
But in all seriousness ya thats pretty nuts.
it, who's going to play the Joker now?
do you have any experience with villanism? :D
I would actually make a great joker.
Well I guess they hadn't finished filming yet, because I had seen a preview of that movie with him in it.
Pretty sure they're done filming already.
Movies done filming I heard on the radio. So its just if they release it or not now.
All that talent down the drain due to drugs....
Always fun to keep refreshing the recently dead's wikipedia page to see their death/return to life/zombieism/pr0nographic images/redeath/rebirth/ad naseum. (Don't misinterpret this to think I'm glad he's dead)
Thats nuts, too bad he was an ok actor.
Drugs? The article I read said there were sleeping pills in the room, and he supposedly had pneumonia. He even told a magazine over a month ago about sleeping problems and the lack of effect the sleeping pills were having. The cops said it was accidental. Who knows for sure, though?
ah admit it, you just wanna see a sequel to broke back mountain...
Best movie I seen him in (and the only one that I know of....) was The Patriot with Mel Gibson
That is too bad... he was a good actor, and he had a 2 yr old daughter too.... now he can't see her grow up and she doesn't get to know him.... it's a sad situation.
You kinda have that comin to ya playin in a movie like brokeback mountain!! haha
I would like to say that its sad to see anybody that young die!!
Done filming batman 2 months ago as per NBC today show
They said he couldn’t sleep right do to the nature of his joker character getting into his head. Talk about issues I wonder if I kick the bucket if you guys would talk this much about me or at least wonder how my bird doing.
I think if anything bad happened to anyone on this board everyone would be very saddened by it, it would be a very big loss.
Hmm maybe I need to make it clear to those around me if anything happens to ME they must put my cat for sale on here. Yes, in effect I am saying, if I die, YES fine one of you guys can "have my stereo". :giggle:
If you need proof of how a death on the board would be taken, just search for the one where Dom's "friend" announced his death in a van accident.
--My first thought.
Look out, Gyllenhal. :beatyoass:
If you want to see how people of this board respond to a member's death, look up Jessie Green.
Everyone was affected by his death, and we only met him once, and he wasn't even a member of this board per say. He came to Cat Jam in 2006 where we all met him for the first time. He had never posted on the board. However, a month later he was killed in a serious accident. Everyone here was taken aback by it.
His family was sent flowers and cards. His car was featured on the Cat Jam t-shirts for 2007, in memory of him.
Please don't think for one second that the people of this board aren't of value, or thought of as friends. This is a tight group for the most part, and I hope that never changes.
Because he played a gay man in a movie? Get over it. Both of you have issues.
I want to have faith in people, then they say shiznit like this.
yeah, i agree... I'm kind of an old school religious beliefs person and feel that acting on gay feelings or whatever isn't a good thing but come on! Are you really that insecure with your shaguality that you have to bash gay people? We all have things that people don't like about us, but they don't bash us for it... idk, its the 21st century and this is not going to go back into hiding anytime soon. get over it.
Anyway, it's a shame about the death. He was a good actor and out of any chick flicks I was dragged to he was usually in the ones that were bearable! RIP
1. It was a joke. Enough said.
2. I have issues because I don't approve of homoshaguality? I'm not going to go out of my way to be politically correct. Nobody complained about the Brokeback jokes when he was alive. Is a dead person off limits? Who can really say? Ever heard a joke about Jesus?
3. I'm genuinely sorry if I offended anyone, but this is a free country. I can say what I want, you can hear what you want. But you had to expect someone to bring this up when his most popular work was as a homoshagual.
I want to have faith in people, but then they buttstuffyze everything and complain if it's not how they see it.
Heath who? Yeah I said it.
1. I didn't get the joke. He had it coming because he played a Gay man in a movie? Where's the punch line? His co-star is next? Hahahah* WTF, man?
2. I never laughed when he was alive, because it was just as ignorant then as it is now. Hate is never funny, and bigotry fits in there.
3. You're not genuinely sorry. You could give a shiznit. Read the rest of your post and tell me you're sorry. And who the hell cares if his character was Gay? Does that affect your life somehow? Homophobes bother me because they think it's their right to dictate how a person lives their life, even if they're not causing anyone harm or if they will never cross paths.
I'll continue to call people out if I think they're out of line. At the very least, live by one of the oldest laws we have as humans. Speak fondly of the dead.
It has nothing to do with being "PC".
Thank you Raven!
I completely agree with you on this issue.
I didn't get the joke either, he deserved it because he played a gay man? Grow up for goodness sake. It's called acting.
man, I guess this was my fault for posting the first joke about it... it was just that, a joke.... I have no issues with anybody's shagual preferance... hell I have a buddy that is gay... doesn't bother me a bit... he knows not to hit on me and we will get along fine... mainly because he is strsight acting, I would have never known he was even gay, if my GF didn't tell me about it later....
Sorry guys...
RIP Heath, I thought you were a hell of an actor... definatley had talent if he could pretend to be gay for a movie....
I remeber him in "10 things i hate about you"....i remember when he was singing "Can`t take my eyes off of you" and since then is one of my favorite songs. Rest in Peace Heath.....
yeah okay!! its called acting huh? it was just his character in the movie huh? IT DOES NOT MATTER!! People UNFORTUNATLY look up to hollywood and anything that goes on there! They seen a big movie like that come out and it was as if it was all okay now becasue hollywood was doing it!
I do not and will not have to accepct this!! I dont care what time period it is!! I do not associate, nor condone this act in any way shape or form!! I will tell that to their face how I feel about it, and NO I dont feel sorry about it!! i was otld at a very young age that if I ever came home that way, my dad was going to take care of me!! I feel the same way about it if I ever had kids!! That is sick twisted and NOT NATURAL, and I feel sorry for each and every person that is accepting it and saying its okay becasue of the period in time or its their choice!! I am PERFECTLY secure in my shaguality, that is a poor comeback! I am very old fashion in my beliefs, and there is no way no how this can be tolerated or accepted in my eyes!! Its sick, twisted, and something that does not have to be tolerated!! society is going to hell in a handbasket!!
This whole gay rant thing of mine has nothign to do with his death. I siad in my first post that it was sad to see somebody that you die. I am sure his family is takign it ruff!! I just had a VERY CLOSE family member die yesterday from cancer. No death is easy, but people sure do have to live with the things they associated theirselves with.

wow, well I guess let me rephrase. It'd be nice not to hear negative remarks when talking about his death. After that, be my guest, I'll just choose to not hear it i guess...? :D
So people are bashin' the guy guy cause he choose a role as a "gay" person in a MOVIE the won 3 Acedemy Awards. Yet people seem to forget about the caracters he played in moves such as The Patriot, A Knight's Tale, 10 Things I Hate About You, and the yet to be released The Dark Knight. I consider Heathe Ledger to be a great actor, some may not. It seems many people forget that other people have had rles as "gay" people. WHo could forget Robin Williams in The Birdcage. I guess I don't have a very good sense of humor.
To anyone here who is homophobic this image is for you

The church does not run (most peoples) everyday lives anymore this is the USA if people choose to be gay then so be it. I had an uncle who was gay i had a cousin who was gay does that make them horrible people? I guess so at least by two peoples opinions.
Don't feel sorry for me or anyone else....who are you to judge?
I had more of a reply to the little rant, but in short I'm just going to lock this down...it has diverted from its original course.
RIP Heath.
