Heath Ledger Found Dead

[GrinS]

I don't understand how the patriot was gay, more than 3/4's of the movie is Mel and Heath just shooting muskets into peoples faces, or Mel throwing his fucking hatchet into the chests of red coats. It was pretty action packed from my stand point. I guess you could call it gay that he "fell in love" with a woman, but in the end that chick and the whole town get burned down to a crisp in a church so.... i guess thats "gay".

the knights tale u could say was gay, but the chick in it was very hot, and it showed jousting back then (even if not accurate) and not too many movies are based on that. I thought it was a good movie and I'm the first to say "GAY", and not watch a movie. Besides it was more of a comedy, and his "group" of helpers were more of the movie than he was.

have not seen Brokeback yet, but Lords of Dogtown was AWESOME and he looked like a perfect joker, sooooooo ya, good actor.

I love that hatchet scene with Mel when he goes all berserk on that one solider... I think Heath is hot in that movie, but I LOVE Jason Isaacs (evil British commander guy with blue eyes and dark ponytail)

I saw a Knights Tale recently, and I thought it was pretty good...albeit a little too romantic for my tastes. My wife really enjoyed it, naturally. I've seen The Patriot several times, but really always considered that more of a Mel Gibson film, than a Heath Ledger film. Either way, I enjoyed that movie when it came out...but I think I've ruined it by watching too many damn times. I do that with almost all decent movies. Lords of Dogtown is something I'll definitely need to see again. I've seen it once, but I must have been pretty blitzed at the time, because I remember practically nothing from it.

In all, from what I've seen, he was a pretty good actor in several of his films. He was also Australian, and I recently realized that he had a pretty thick accent. So for him to play some of these more-or-less Americanized roles, and do it well, speaks to his talent. But, alas, as is the case with many influential artists throughout past generations, we'll never know what he could have become. His acting skills aside, I feel upset that he died being so young. He had a young child, about the same age as mine, and was my age. For this to happen to anyone, regardless of their status in society, is a shame and a tragedy to all those who knew the person. Regardless of if it was accidental or intentional, it doesn't make much difference to those who are in mourning...the person is still gone.

On a side note, I overheard somewhere that Westboro Baptist Church will be boycotting his funeral. (They're the ones that picket soldiers funerals and have the mysteriously popular website, "God Hates F-gs".) They claim that Heath was a pervert for making Brokeback Mountain...but I really think they're doing it just to be spiteful. Apparently, that's what they're all about.

too bad eh. i love lords of dogtown and he killed the part

i thought the patriot was gay because like i said it was mel just trying to redo the whole braveheart thing just set in a differant place and time. lords of dog town was a good flick i forgot about that one and like i said brothers grim was pretty cool too.

i never said the man couldnt act he was a damn good actor just that he was in my opinion in some gay (maybe corney would be a better term) movies i thought. i also said that tho i may have thought them gay movies they do look good on any actors resume.

by the way i dont mean gay as in homosexual i mean gay like chick flicks are gay. like pearl harbor or the titanic were gay

^^Jeez now this thread is judging thew work he did while alive, give the man a break, and now they are saying the only drugs found in his home were for anxiety, insomnia and an antihistamine, so all you people straight accusing without factual knowledge keep quiet until the toxicology comes back.....This may have truly been a tragic accident.......:stoned:

[greenlotus]

I think he died of pneumonia, or some such weakened state.
