    you've never even heard of the latest dead Hollywood actors. I saw loads of bulletins on myspace saying "Heath Ledger is dead" and I thought they were celebrating the end of some draconian, Ted Heath-era Conservative government taxation from the early 1970s. Now I learn it's someone famous in tinseltown...


    Youngsters, don't think me disrespectful, but I had to say that on behalf of all the other curmudgeonly ole sods on this forum, feeling slightly threatened by being out of the loop here ...


    ah c'mon fins....i'm older than you and even farther out of the loop but even i know who he is.....;) :)

    Very sad indeed.. My stepdaughter absolutely fell in love with him on "10 Things..." when she was in high school.. We all watched that one about a million times.. Actually not a bad flick.. The Patriot, A Knight's Tale, etc... That movie Candy keeps coming on HBO every other day it seems... Looks like I'll have to watch the whole thing one of these days...

    And forgive my entertainment ignorance, but Brad Renfro kicked it too last week huh? Wow... Sad times indeed..

    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    I only go to see pretentious arty films, with scantily clad French women. You know that.



    Anyway, back to Thatcher Statute. I mean Heath Ledger. *Dons black armband.*

    I still watch that every year around Halloween. It is kind of creepy, between the themes in the movie and the young star being killed on the set.

    As for Heath, I loved Brokeback Mountain and I can't wait to see The Dark Knight. He was awesome in the 6 minute trailer.

    Very sad
    I love my female wife...
    we sit around and wonder exactly why our marriage should feel threatened by gay marriage

    Monster's Ball was a small artsy film, sort of. Halle Berry won Oscars for that.

    I think his best character was Skip in Lords of Dogtown. A very underrated movie, or at least it's not as well known as it probably should be. Emile Hirsch was one of the stars too. It was also Mitch Hedberg's last time on screen before he died.

    It's about the early generation of skate boarders in Cali. in the 70s. Good movie, easy watch.

    that is so sad, he was so young.. I never saw that one coming. I feel bad for his 2 year old daugther Matilda and his ex wife Michelle... so sad. I liked all of his movies.

    Like I said in another thread, I am so very upset by this. He was a great actor. I heard his family in Australia found out listening to the radio.

    I haven't felt this upset about a death since Steve Irwin died. It is probably because I am Australian but this is so so sad. I am in shock.

    Apparently the last film he made wrapped about a week ago. I can't remember the name of it but the end of it has Heath's character hanging himself. Very bizarre
    I can't go the library anymore, everyone STINKS!!

    I can't believe it. It's such a shame, he was so talented.

    Dark Knight was going to make him huge.

    It's going to make him even bigger. Well, I mean like I'm sure the movie's going to do better now it being his last movie and all. Great actor though.

    Am I the only one who had no clue who this guy was?

    The only movie on his IMDB list that I have seen is 'Ten Things..." and only because I watched them film that movie a block away from the apartment I was living in at the time. Padua High School in the movie is actually Stadium High school in Tacoma, WA. And I used to live right by it. It was really cool watching them film a movie.

    Nope. The only new movie star I can name nowadays is Scarlett Johansson, and that's because she's made two big impressions on me.
