My daughters were devastated. I asked, "Who is Heath Ledger?"

I actually knew who he was, unlike the Renfro kid that committed suicide recently. Pretty sad story, the wife told me about it last night. According to her, she had read an interview sometime within the past few weeks and he had mentioned the fact that he had so much stuff going on that he needed sleeping pills to fall asleep. And also that they were becoming less and less effective.

Patriot is one of my favorite flicks.

Patriot? Oh, I remember him in that. Well, it's too bad, no matter who he was.

Exactamundo!

Man, last night on the cable channels, you would have thought the Pope died or something.
I did see a clip of an interview he gave to someone a few months ago. I'm no shrink, but the guy looked like he was on meds at best, or very troubled at worst.
Rubbing his chin with his fist, talking about his daughter and how that gave him new appreciation for death, knowing he would live on in his child! Wierd!

I'll be charitable and believe it was accidental...until evidence proves contradictory.

When I run into John Belushi, Jimmy Hendrix, Jim Morrison, Janis Joplin, Elvis or Marylyn Monroe to name just a few, I'll be sure to ask.

I thought "A Knight's Tale" was ok.

I don't have a bleeding heart though. Dumb decisions lead to dumb consequences.

This is news? Couldn't believe the press coverage. Here we go again, someone with everything takes himself out. Next please.... Who gives a crap, doesn't mean a damned thing in my life. Press is jumping up and down over it while we're fighting a war and economic woes. Ridiculous. RT
