Death of Heath Ledger

Loosing family sucks).
However, she is not, so don't whine about that to us.

I wasn't whining, I was making a point. Do you cry for every millionaire that OD's on sleeping pills, or just the pretty ones with talent?
I don't see what my postcount has to do with anything. I guess I haven't quite got the attitude right that I've seen from so many others around here that have spewed worse bile without being harassed. Guess I need an e-penis implant.
I edited my first post so you could continue your weeping. Carry on.

With others, they totally immerse themselves mentally and emotionally into the character. They really do "become" the character. Try as much as possible to think like him, embrace his values, study his backstory and believe it is real, in order to act like him. Some actors do go a little nuts when the role is very intense. Heath was apparently that way. So in a way, yeah, The Joker killed him.

I'd have an easier time believing his character from Candy killed him. Rampant speculation though it may be, people are throwing around vids of interviews in which Ledger scratches at himself quite a bit. Some opiates cause histamine reaction, most codeine-based medicines contain caffeine to counteract the effect. But hell, he may have just had a rash or something.

I'll tell you why people responded so badly DonInKansas.
First and foremost: You're being a dick. Seriously, wtf? You basically walked into the thread, slapped people in the face and demanded justification as to why they feel simple empathy. Fuck that noise.
Second, we've done this before in the Terry Pratchett has Alzheimer's thread, which quickly devolved into a flaming pile of shit for the same reasons I previously mentioned.

I don't get what being pretty has to do with it --just because he was attractive doesn't mean that his death is more devistating. He was a great actor, and I enjoyed his films, and I am genuniely sorry that i won't get to see any new ones (after Dark Knight). Do I think that he was attractive, yes I suppose I do, but is that why I will remember him: No, of course not. Even some of the most unattractive actors (in my perspective) are missed, (i.e. first person to mind is Richard Harris) . And why are they missed? BECAUSE THEY ARE FUCKING FANTASTIC PEOPLE WITH INCREDIBLE TALENT.
I think you're jealous. Or bitter. Or both. Get over it and stop trying to make everyone mad.
Edit: Okay. Whipstich beat me to the last bit, and put it much more simplisticly then I did. I am now in a ranty mood...gah.
DonInKansas:
Sorry, didn't mean to rile you all up. I'm all done. It sucks he died. He was good at his job.
Are you sure Whipstitch has enough posts that his opinion matters, though?
