Heath Ledger Has Died!

[CowboyGuy]

I hate posting it but I think it's good to be informed. I think she deserves to have something horrible happen to her!! I can't stand that someone so full of hate exists!!

She and her kin will be picketing Heath Ledger's memorial in Hollywood.

purely horrible. What a moronic evil woman. I just love that her best argument was "well, god said so." So many things messed up in her logic. It;s just awful how horrible, rude, and purely cruel she was and still calls herself a christian. Isn't it amazing how much hypicritical acid they can spew, but they can't even debate rationally or logically, nor can they take it when someone else tries to speak. She doesn't even let anyone finish talking!!!
and her bit about worshiping the dead: ummmm isn't jesus dead? and what about when she dies? she isn't going to have a funeral, a wake, etc. etc.

HORRIBLE.

Der Spikeluv...He is alive in all of us

[CowboyGuy]

I love my country, and I am grateful for the freedoms we have.

But in this I do not understand. Since when is it okay for hate to be so openly spread.

It's hysterical that she says all these f*gs are going to burn in hell, when she has an illegitimate son (which according to her, in other people is a sin that will bring them to hell). ^_~ Uh oh!

I was listening to a podcast of an interview she did with a radio station and they brought up her son. She was not very pleased! She basically said that was a sin but because she's telling other people not to do it, she safe from going to hell. And that if you believe that Jesus Christ died for you, than your sins are washed away at the end of the day.

-Aren't there gay people who are also religious?
-why does she automatically get a get-out-of-hell-free-card?

What a bunch of hypocrites!

They say that every generation is more tolerant than the one before it. Hopefully in a few years all of the disgusting, monstrous people like this will be gone. I mean, even people like that have come a long way from the middle ages in which the ruling version of Christianity brutally murdered the other ever-so-slightly different versions of that same religion.

:xp:

except for the fact that she has 11 kids she is teaching this horrid thinking to....maybe they will grow up to have a brain and hate their mother

To bring this thread back to a memorial.....
Here is what Christopher Nolan had to say about Heath in Newsweek. It is really touching and personal.

One night, as I'm standing on LaSalle Street in Chicago, trying to line up a shot for "The Dark Knight," a production assistant skateboards into my line of sight. Silently, I curse the moment that Heath first skated onto our set in full character makeup. I'd fretted about the reaction of Batman fans to a skateboarding Joker, but the actual result was a proliferation of skateboards among the younger crew members. If you'd asked those kids why they had chosen to bring their boards to work, they would have answered honestly that they didn't know. That's real charisma—as invisible and natural as gravity. That's what Heath had.

Heath was bursting with creativity. It was in his every gesture. He once told me that he liked to wait between jobs until he was creatively hungry. Until he needed it again. He brought that attitude to our set every day. There aren't many actors who can make you feel ashamed of how often you complain about doing the best job in the world. Heath was one of them.

One time he and another actor were shooting a complex scene. We had two days to shoot it, and at the end of the first day, they'd really found something and Heath was worried that he might not have it if we stopped. He wanted to carry on and finish. It's tough to ask the crew to work late when we all know there's plenty of time to finish the next day. But everyone seemed to understand that Heath had something special and that we had to capture it before it disappeared. Months later, I learned that as Heath left the set that night, he quietly thanked each crew member for working late. Quietly. Not trying to make a point, just grateful for the chance to create that they'd given him.

Those nights on the streets of Chicago were filled with stunts. These can be boring times for an actor, but Heath was fascinated, eagerly accepting our invitation to ride in the camera car as we chased vehicles through movie traffic—not just for the thrill ride, but to be a part of it. Of everything. He'd brought his laptop along in the car, and we had a high-speed screening of two of his works-in-progress: short films he'd made that were exciting and haunting. Their exuberance made me feel jaded and leaden. I've never felt as old as I did watching Heath explore his talents. That night I made him an offer—knowing he wouldn't take me up on it—that he should feel free to come by the set when he had a night off so he could see what we were up to.

When you get into the edit suite after shooting a movie, you feel a responsibility to an actor who has trusted you, and Heath gave us everything. As we started my cut, I would wonder about each take we chose, each trim we made. I would visualize the screening where we'd have to show him the finished film—sitting three or four rows behind him, watching the movements of his head for clues to what he was thinking about what we'd done with all that he'd given us. Now that screening will never be real. I see him every day in my edit suite. I study his face, his voice. And I miss him terribly.

Back on LaSalle Street, I turn to my assistant director and I tell him to clear the skateboarding kid out of my line of sight when I realize—it's Heath, woolly hat pulled low over his eyes, here on his night off to take me up on my offer. I can't help but smile.

That's so emotional, thanks for posting that.

[CowboyGuy]

Yeah, thanks for posting!! Great read.

Gets my mind off that crazy bitch Shirley Phelps.

[spikeluv13]

thanks buffyfanone...I actually cried. so many celebs/actors take their place and jobs for granted. They complain about everything, but Heath seems to have loved the job he had. from every interview and article i have read/seen, he was genuinely kind, cared for everyone working around him and did not take it for granted. This shows us that even more.

A truly great man taken way too early.

[BuffyFanOne]

Well said Spikeluv.

It has been one week already sense Heath was found deceased and I have to say, I am still as shocked as I was when my friend sent me a text message telling me to turn on the E! channel.

It is so tragic and it seems like it keeps getting more sad as we see other celebrities react:
Naomi Watts canceling all of her Cannes appearances or Jake Gyllenhaall (Godfather to Heath's daughter Matilda Rose) going into hiding to avoid the ravenous paparazzi.
Michelle Williams current movie being temporarily shut down (at the cost of the studio) until Michelle is ready to return to work or Daniel Day Louis dedicating his SAG Award to Heath (whom he never met but was so impressed by not only his talent but also his character)
John Travolta who also never met Heath was moved to submit a public statement or Terry Gillam who has worked with Heath on The Brothers Grimm and was currently filming a movie with Heath...A movie he is in the midst of completely reworking so that the film does not have to be scrapped, just so he can have something to dedicate to his friend or Christopher Nolan who was compelled to write the moving letter posted above.

Over all though, his poor family... I can't find the link now but a few days ago I read letters written by each of his family members, mother, father, younger and older sister. The letter from his older sister struck me particularly. She said that she spoke with heath on the phone every day and that she would live vicariously through him and his exciting life and travels. She said that she will continue to speak to him daily.

I would like to add that I think it is beautiful that so many people are feeling so moved by his passing. It is a true testament to his talent and the strength of his character.
In the same vein of his sisters sentiments, while she lived vicariously through Heath, I think it is obvious that Heath will live on through the films he has left behind and also through his daughter and the loving family and all of the other people he has clearly left a mark on.

[CowboyGuy]

Speaking of the paps. I think they need to make a law that restricts their behavior. It's getting out of control.

Privacy us non-existant to celebrities, and famous or not people deserve respect and space!

[commandercool]

It seems like they should be restricted by traditional stalking laws. But they are not. I can't beleive some of those people can actually live with the things they do every day. Jerkstores.

I can't imagine how bad this must feel for his family. Having a bunch of parasitic maniacs hounding them all the time must be incredibly traumatizing, especially for his daughter.

[BuffyFanOne]

I agree. I can not imagine living like that.
I was just watching E! News and they were talking about Britney's latest meltdown. She was walking down the street and cryong and there were so many flashes going off you could not even tell who the person was until they said it was Brit. How can you live like that!?

Also on E!, the are reporting that some sicko is posing as Heah's dad. He has spoken to the doctor that did Heath's autopsy and he has even contacted Tom Cruise and John Travolta, asking them to buy him airline tickets....Crazy! What a freaking sicko!
The NYPD is taking it very seriously and they are trying to find out who this bastard is.

[commandercool]

Odd. A man's tragic death seems to have brought out the absolute worst people in society. I'm not sure what to think of that.

[BuffyFanOne]

Here is a short article about Jake Gyllenhaal's reaction.

The last bit is very touching.

If this video is true....and I sadly do not see how it couldn't be...I hope they are correct in saying that maybe the entire current situation, combined with this video, can scare at least one kid straight.
