Breaking News >> Actor Heath Ledger Found Dead in New York City - Page 3

**Jester** · 01-22-2008, 08:27 PM

No this is tasteless and uncalled for. (EDIT: and so was that ^^)

[fredphelps-esque]This is God's doing cause he played a f** in the movies. God is punishing him![/fredphelps-esque]

Trust me, dispite the fact that I am also a Christian, some religious cook, maybe even Phelps himself will say that this is God's wrath being poured out on Heath for his Brokeback Mountain role.

*cqb101* · 01-22-2008, 08:42 PM

This news hit me hard when I heard it earlier. He was such a talented actor with a huge career ahead of him.

RIP

lmao if God was killing us Gays for being who we are I'd say there's people way higher on the list than Heath lmao!

I hear ya, but there are idiots out there. Sadly they also claim to be Christians making people like me look the same as them.

Is there a post missing? I commented on a post by Hannah that seems to be missing.

I wondered how long it would be before something like that would come out-- and yes, I, too, am a Christian. We must reject and denounce these types as strongly as others who share a belief system with those who pervert/misrepresent/destroy those beliefs should do.

I realize I'm a few hours late, but, damn...

I hope his family is okay. Last role in life: the Joker...

Were they entirely done filming dark knight prior to?

**Jester** · 01-22-2008, 10:12 PM

Yes. I'm not sure who at the moment but someone (it was cqb101) assured me in the Dark Night had finished filming.

Yep. He was currently filming another movie.

Splinter's Iroonna · 01-22-2008, 10:46 PM

The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus-- directed by Terry Gilliam.

God knows what it was about, but I imagine that it is pretty much on hold.

I swear, I have no idea why it bothers me that he's died. I'm not a fan, I doubt I could name one movie of his that I've seen-- I mean, I know what they are, but as to actually having watched him--

Reading about him, I was sharply reminded of Johnny Depp in many respects-- but I'm also seeing a sort of Gary Oldman about him-- someone who doesn't/didn't worry about making "popular" (i.e., tripe) films, but someone who wanted to make films that "spoke" to him. And I can see from what I've been reading that he could do different characters in the way that Oldman and Depp do-- that while watching, you don't think "that's *insert actor's name here*"...

This doesn't mean I'll ever watch "Brokeback Mountain", however. But it's still quite sad.

I feel the same way I'm not even a fan and this bothers me.
I think it has allot more to do with just everything being such a mess these days and the media making it all such a damn circus..

and believe it or not I've never seen Brokeback Mountain either...I really kinda don't want to see it.
The only kind of gay movies I like are ones with real gay people or directed by them like John Water I love me some campy trash lol

*R-iZZy* · 01-22-2008, 11:25 PM

A lot of celebrity deaths usually don't hit me, but for some reason, this one did. Besides The Joker things you see in my avy and sig, I always admired the guy's work. Right now, I'd say Johnny Depp is the top actor in the business. But if you were to ask me who would be next in line for this generation, I'd have easily said Heath Ledger. And when I heard he would be taking on the role of Joker, I was quickly ecstatic about it.

I feel sort of like I lost an idol with this death. R.I.P. to Ledger, and my heart goes out to his friends, family, and his 2-year-old daughter.

**Jester** · 01-22-2008, 11:28 PM

Yeah, BBM is a mixed bag. I agree with Geen Shalit when he says that Jake G's character was almost a preditor in that he wouldn't let Heath's character ive his life and basically tore it apart. But that's just how I saw it. Others saw it as a wonderful love story.

*Cure* · 01-22-2008, 11:29 PM

Brokeback Mountain WAS good. I recommend everyone sees it.

Well there really are people like that, trust me I've dated a few lol

I just now heard about this. Over at Batman on film, and it seems so surreal.
R.I.P Heath...

*R-iZZy* · 01-23-2008, 01:13 AM

Goodness f***ing gracious, some church activist group is actually going to protest at his funeral for his role in Brokeback Mountain.

Check the protest ad here.

I swear, I usually don't wish death upon anyone, but I wouldn't mind these pieces of s*** to rot in piss. Seriously, this is just unbe-f***ing-lievable.

The things I would do to those assholes if I were there. They're a disgrace to the word "human".

**GK Punk** · 01-23-2008, 01:17 AM

That really pisses me off.

Traffic jams will be a thing of the past. I see a place where people get on and off the freeway. On and off, off and on all day, all night! Soon there will be a string of gas stations, inexpensive motels, restaurants that serve rapidly prepared food! Tire salons, automobile dealerships and wonderful, wonderful billboards reaching as far as the eye can see! My God... It'll be beautiful.
